Don't fool yourselves because you're beating much weaker teams with the 3N-5-2v.. I played against a very strong 4-1-2-1-2ND in my CL and I almost lost using the 3N-5-2v... I changed to the hexagon and won 2-3 in the end... My other friends are getting bad results with 3N-5-2v also. I would prefer using 4-1-4-1 perhaps or even a 4-1-3W-2... 3 defenders at the back is not good.
i play ND for 3 seasons and i must say that i scare the most are 4411, 4312, 41311, the other formation i don't thinks they can counter ND.

but otherwise, this game like every game have a random facteur and you need to keep your formation till to the end to see if it is a true counter formation or not. sometime they come back from the end 3-5 goals. if you change your formation during the game, we couldn't say anything
