4231

Whenever I play against 4-2MC-3AW-1, I use ND or 451V. But I always get message from ass man like opponent is controlling midfield and fix it asap. I still won though by just 1 goal margin against equal opponent. How to control midfield against this formation then? I really can't understand how this formation could better control midfield than mine with just 2 midfielders.

One of my friend who I gave advice to earlier won against 4-2-3-1 against same quality opposition by playing 4-1-3w-1-1

I suggest u do the same

I counter 4231 completely different

I use 3Dw-1DMC-3MC-2w-1 or 3Dw-2DMC-2MC-2w-1 playing with defensive tactics
