desperate: How to counter 4-3-3

[HeavensAAA]

thanks, i tried 4-4-2 defensive, counter on, low pressing, zonal, mixed passing, normsl tackling - and lost ;( Bad tactics?

by 4-1-3-1-1 u mean dl,dc,dc,dr,dmc,mr,mc,ml,amc,st? which tactics would you recommend?

by the way, yes most of his quality is in his offense. i also have most mx quality in my offensive players and lowest in defense maybe a bit unfirtunate

4-1-3-1-1, with ST & AMC pulled back the most possible; DMC & MC slightly pulled back. Fullbacks at default marking wingers at default positions


4-1-3-1-1, similar as above, but both DMC & MC also pulled back the most to handle strong STs. Flat back-4 to handle AMs played as wide forwards (parallel to ST)


Could mix the above depending on opponent’s winger’s position and STs strength.

AMC & ST are used to fully control AMC area to win, so ST should stay away from DCs as much as possible in this case.

Mixes, zonal, offside on, counter on, low press (could change to high press & man-on-man in 2nd half if needed)
