    Semi final vs 4-2N-1-3

    I have a 2nd leg coming up having lost the 1st leg away 4-2 (was 3-2 but he nicked a fourth near the end). We edged possession but they still had twice as many shots, in terms of team strength we are actually stronger. I played my usual 4-5-1 V style which is recommended as a counter, however it seems I'm going to need to do something different for the home leg. His team are all 5* and his shape is:

    ------GK------
    LB--CB--CB--RB
    ----CM--CM---
    ------AMC----
    --ST--ST--ST-

    Given I need to be offensive to make up the deficit, I was thinking 5-3N-2 might be a good counter, as that way you should nullify the offensive capability of the three up front plus dominate MF, only downside would be a lack of width. To get around that I'd have red arrows on the full backs, play all out attack and press high up the pitch. Any thoughts/other suggestions? Note I can't play any formations using wingbacks.
