How to counter this strange formation?

[RoA6]

Hey,

I need help building formation against this team:





His players are little better than mine...

Thanks for any help!!

ahahah e la mia formazione solo se usi 3 attaccanti li fotti ma devono essere forti entrambi gioca con un 4 3 3 largo ma ti consiglio di non usdare il contropiede altrimenti ti massacrano in massa gioca molto difensivo e pressali a meta campo. se usi il poressing a tutto campo e perdi palla faranno il contropiede in massa cmq 4 3 3 largo e attacco al centro mr e ml metti freccia in giu perche il suo dml e dmr ti attaccheranno e il tuo dr e dl freccia in su nel modo che mr e dr si incrociano e chiudono in due sui loro terzini gioca difesa a uomo e contropiede poi mi dirai

4-5-1 V. attacking down the flanks.

If you really need a goal, go with the 3-5-2 V attacking down the flanks. I think I would prefer this when he is set up so defensive.

[RoA6]

Thank you!
I think im gonna use the 3-5-2 v.

Will happy to hear more opinions!

The system is similar to the 3-2W-3N-2 (normally played with motivated DML, DMR and defensive orientated central MC). That system is countered by 4-4-2 classic. But you must take care, if the MC's are offensively motivated.

Good luck.

Thank you for your answer, but im confused now!
4-4-2 or 3-5-2 v?

[RoA6]

He just changed his formation...




WTH?

[Chris Rath]

That is an illegal formation. He has less than 4 players in your half. If he does not change it, you get 80% possession.

4-4-2 and 3-5-1V should both work with the first system. Which is the best system depends on how he motivates his players (red/blue arrows). At both systems I suspect the other manager wants to play counters with his world class forward, take care there. If he motivates the MCs 3-5-1V is probably the better choice.

[RoA6]

well.. is there a way to know if he motivates the players?
