I have seen 4-3-2w-1
It's
DL DC DC DR
MC MC MC
AML. AMR
ST
Do you mean this? If yes it isn't 4-3w-2w-1 but 4-3N-2w-1
I usually counter this with 3w-1-3-2w-1
Tiger FC level 1
no it was 4-3w-2w-1.
DL DC DC DR
ML MC MR
AML AMR

I haven't seen someone using this formation. Try 4-4-2 or 4-4-2 narrow diamond [emoji184]

I have faced that formation past 2 seasons. Lost the first 2 times 2-1 2-1. After that I changed my formation to 4-2-2-1. 4 DEFENDERS (DL DC DC DR) 2 MC 2 AML AMR 1 ST. attacking mix or short passing to the middle no counter. High pressing, tackling normal/hard. Depends. Zonal and counter on. Well after that I won 7-1 then 3-1 3-1 2-1 to 3 different opponents. Or you can just go 4-1-4-1. With hard defending or defending long/ mix passing counter on. High pressing man-man normal/hard tackling and NO OFFSIDE. and yes your ML/MR need not go attacking but should be straight with central midfielders defensive/ normal mode. Not attacking. Than I am sure u can see some positive results.

4-2-2-1?
4+2+2+1=9 +1 keeper = 10
Only 10 player?
Well to be frank i used the older version then with no arrows. But i'd say focus on attacking in the middle. Place your players concentrated in the middle. Short passes or mixed. Or go for the 4-1-2-1-2 diamond focusing in the centre. Or if you are not at all sure and he's stronger or equivalent to you, go for this 4-1-4-1 like pep guardiola used in man city vs arsenal. With defensive mix passing and mix focus. Man-man tackle hard and low. Counters on and offside off. Be online during the game and use possession when you give bonus. This might help

Mid game if you are 1-0 down, go for the 4-2-3-1 formation attack. Short / mix passes. Offside on ,high pressing, tackling normal and counter off

1st one - 4-2-3-1
2nd one 4-1-4-1
3rd one 4-1-2-1https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...aa82987d92.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...64ba2ca76a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...55d50bf2c8.jpg

Narrow diamond won't usually work.
The key to counter formations with 3 players on each side is to use formations with 2 players on each side and attack at least partly the middle.
this can be a defensive formation with dl/r and ml/r which counters through the middle, or an offensive formation with dl/r and aml/r which attacks mixed. In the second case this means that you should probably have also an amc, and probably press high.
I favor the first solution. 4-4-1-1, 4-3w-1-2 or 4-1-4-1 depending on opponent's strength would be my choice in this case.
