CL final against a 4-1-2-3

[influenze]

Hello,

Tomorrow i will be facing a formation i've never played against in the CL final:

-------GK-------
DR-DC-----DC-DL
------DMC------
---MC-----MC---
----------------
---ST-ST-ST---

His middle ST is a worldclass player (7*)

I'm thinking to counter his formation with a motivated 4-1-4-1 but if anyone has played against that formation and know a solution i would like to hear about it

I suggest you to go for 3N-3(MCs)-2(AML,AMR)-2. If you are afraid of 3 at back then go for 3-5-2 V That's my opinion I won several times against this formation using 3-5-2 V or 3-3-2-2. It's up to you

Thx, i will try it, i supose you go hard attacking, press whole field, short passing through the flanks? No offside trap with his worldclass ST

What about the avg quality?

What about the avg quality?

I have slightly the better team, almost all my 4* players 1 skill point away from next star, he has 1 great player, quality 45 (7*)
My team:


His team:

Ok, i agree with RedSeth. But if you r not sure, you can use 4-5-1 v style

btw why hard attacking? :/

btw why hard attacking? :/

Which orders you recommend, normally i play formations with normal mentality but this looks to me like a very offensive formation.

Btw, thank you for the response

[influenze]

Finally, i decided to go for a classic 4-4-2 with attacking mentality and it worked
We both watched the game, i had 10 shots on target, he none.

Special thanks for July Fourth!!!

Very attacking is not usefull, it's just a waste of condition, i suggest you to go for attacking mentality, own half pressing, mixed passing, attack down both flanks, hard tackling if he dont have free kick specialist, force Counterattacks, no offside traps. Dont go whole pitch because he has fast ST's and you wont be able to stop them. Red arrows on AML, AMR, ST, ST. Good luck
