how to counter a strange formation 4 (2dc,2dml/dmr) 2-2-2

I will use 3(Dc)-2(Dml, Dmr)-2(mc)-2(Aml, Amr)-1 ( prlly it is called butterfly ) or 1 Amc & 2 St (depending on whats available in the squad).....Defensive / Attacking depending on what you want your players to be in mindset of ..mixed pass, Counter, i dont use offside if my opponent is better rated .........I am not an expert in this as I am still in level 4 only ...All the best ...and I would like to know the result and what formation you finally used

41212 ---doesnt have wingers to counter your opponents wingside attacks so your squad may be a vulnerable there .....may be some of the experienced members might be able to explain in a better way

i would play 4-4-2 classic. he's using an illegal formation because it has only 2 defensive players, his 2 DC. DML and DMR are being considered midfielders. so you'll have the possession.
