What to use against 3N-2W (DML/DMR)-2MC-3ST

[devilswater]

Hi Was wondering if anyone had come up against this formation before. Very attack minded with 3 strong ST. Had thought of 3W-2DMC-3W-2ST as a counter with blue arrows on DC and 2DMC, Red arrows on DR and DL , MR, ML and 2 ST. Nothing on MC. How would you rate this. Also DEF, Mixed, Whole, normal, mixed, force counter no offside.

3W defence is suicide against 3 strikers

Try a 4-1-2-1-2 narrow diamond.

I'll give it a bash. Any ideas on arrows or orders????

Approx 34 so more or less equal. I think I have stronger midfield but his strikers are all 38/39. Defensively I'm on 36/37's so don't know if this will be strong enough to hold off his 3 attackers!!!! Will Playing the narrow diamond not leave my wings exposed to his dml/dmr???

I agree with dv8r. Normal mentality, through the middle, own half, mixed passing (i prefer to mixed, but you can change it) zonal marking. And no counter attack/offside trap. While the match, you can change the order to attacking mentality with short passing, if normal mentality doesn't work

Lost the game in the 70th minute to a single goal!!! lost out on possession 56/44 due to him having home advantage, watching and having another spectator. had 12 shots to his 7, 3 on target to his 4. looking at the player ratings my amc and one of my mc's was non existent, both strikers were poor even though 100% morale and fitness. May need to have to play around with players and formations. I think at home i'll have him as i thought i was unlucky but the game has been throeing up some poor performances for me recently. Obviously won too much last season!!!!! Thanks for your help today it was appreciated!!!
