5-1-2-1-1

Any recommendation have to play against this formation, so it is basically 5 at the back and a diamond in midfield?

3-5-2 v style will be good :)
Attacking mentality, short passing, both of flanks, own half, zonal.

Thanks for your reply, that was my first guess but have since changed to 3-1-4-2 to cover their AMC what do you think?

3-5-2 v tyle cover their amc too, it seem like dis
-------st----st--------
-aml--------------amr-
------mc----mc------

I will try this, thanks for your help!

But if you don't have a good aml/amr, you can use ur own formation. and post the result here.
Ooops, what about avg qty?

Lost 2-1 - they scored with their first attack, then on 55 mc gets injured and I level 1-1, i replaced injured mc with striker and they score again on 58 but replacement does not come on until 63 and after that we could not break them down.

Poss 49 - 51 to us
Shots 12 - 18 to us
on Target 4 - 9 to us

Their ave quality 66 and mine 69 and I do consider myself to have good aml/amr just too many defenders I guess.

u played right into his hands, you had to overload the flanks, create 2 v 1 situations. shame i didn't spot this earlier

Ehhhmmm, sorry to hear that. The fact you have much shots. I think the problem is moral/stamina/perform of your team.

That's ok, must be performance as moral & stamina are full.
