3N-2W-3N-2ST: Need some help or/and advice!

[Jacob M]

your formation doesn't have balance
I can see a void in the middle field (you are too strong in the wings) and a void between attack and defense (too vulnerable in counter attacks).
Probably he striked back with counters.
To tell you the truth, I 'm surprised you get to the semis with this formation.
Probably you did other things right

ok
MR+AMR and ML-AML is a bad combination.
I suggest 3DC-1DMC-ML-2MC-MR-AMC-ST
def/counters/mix
norm/norm/zone/of

If doesn't work, then use your orders above

good luck

Mixed focus or mixed passing style?

mixed because you have player in the wings but also an AMC.
Another approach is to play from the wings and observe the rates of his wing backs.
If they play good, switch to mix (some times the a.m. can give an advice about the sides).

Thank you again. I will try it. What has confused me was the DMC because the oppo do not use any AMC.

DMC is not only to play vs a AMC but to help for wingers too and close the void between attack-defense

Butterfly is ok I think.
Start with def/counters till 30-40 '

Thank you nik, I will consider your advice and post afterwards.

Best,
Nidd

Edit: I will try first my usual butterfly-formation and if I have to change something I will switch to your recommended formation.
