advise for cup game

I did not wanted to create a new thread for that but i did not get any answer on the other post.

I have a cup game tomorrow against a team level 8 ( I am level 2) avg 44.5 ( 26.4 for me) I am sure to be eliminated but I would like to resist the maximum.
His formation is something really different than usual( at least for me)
And I checked with the first round, it's not an illegal formation, just very very offensive

---------------GK--------------
-------DR---DC----DC---DL----
---------------DMC-------------
----------------------------------
-------AMR----AMC-----AML-----
-----------ST-------ST-----------
All scouts

I understand that my chances are close to nil but any idea how to bug him
I plan 5 defs DR/DC/DC/DC/DL
2 mid def DMC/DMC
2 mid MC/ MC
1 striker ST
Set to hard def, hard tackles
Any other idea
Oh first game I play home

I will go:
Dr/dc/dc/dl
DMc/DMc
Mc
AmR/aml
st

Defending counter attack hard tackle mixed zonal

I won a couple of big games against stronger opponent with this.

I would say - This season the way the games are played - you probably going to lose 8-0 or so... most of the games are like this... Sorry bud but is a hard season for you and low level managers in Cup.
1) You only need 3 DC's for his formation
2) you need at least 5 Midfielders
3) at least 2 attacking wings and 2 ST's

you might get a chance or two to score.

The same to me. I have to play with the 9th level manager (i'm now only 2), he plays with flat 4-4-2 formation (69.1* avg).
I intend to setup my team as follows:
---------------GK--------------
-------DR---DC----DC---DL----
-------DMR----DMC-----DML---
--------------MC----MC----------
-----------------------------------
------------------ST--------------
Pls advise me in this case (I try to have a drawn) . Thanks.

How to Win Against Any Formation?

This tread will help you find what formation to use against any teams. Take a little time and do your research - Only you know ALL the details on your own players and your opponent teams. It is very hard to give advise to someone with so little info - and who ever gives you info they are telling you what works for them, they don't know what works for you. You will have to find yourself what works for your team and how your players respond to different formations and settings.

I hope this link will help you understand how to adapt your team to any formation you face. Once you learn how tactics/formations work it will be much easier for you and much more fun to find out yourself how to counter any team, instead waiting for some "Expert" to tell you what to do.

Have fun and enjoy the game
