Counter 3W - 2W - 3N - 2N

[misterr]

Hi guys,

I'm having a cup match today at home 2'nd round, after I lost the first one 1-0, against a 3W-2W-3N-2N formation, while I was using 3N-1DM-4-2 formation, mentality attacking, focus mixed, passing mixed, force counter. He had 53% possession, 10 total shots, 5 on target vs. 47% possession, 13 total shots, 3 on target for me.
We're both level 2, I'm quality 18.3 and he is 18.5. Please advise a suitable tactics in order for me to go further in the competition.

Thanks !

ps: i've posted this also on the thread Table of Counter Formations, but no one answered and i'm kind of pressured because the game is today

maybe a 4-5-1 throguh the middle... defensive and counter. ... or a 4-4-2 classic

I was thinking of 3N defenders that should take care of his 2 strikers, 4 midfielders to create superiority on his 3 players, 1 AMC because he ddoes not have DMC, and 2 strikers.
Attacking because I'm playing home, and I need to score, and he's not a lot better than me (18.5 vs 18.3).
What do you say ?
