If your opponent has a counter attack he is very likely to score. Especially if his striker is a good dribbler.
He beats one then another...
I always stick with 4 defenders
Last season, half my matches were 3-5-2V & half were 4-5-1V and rotating between those two formation served me well.

To play 3 defenders you need very good defenders. I played 3 narrow at the back against 1 striker or sometimes against a weaker opponent, I've succeeded in playing 3 DCs vs 3 STs. Have to say that my strong defence last season has been key to winning the league.
