Is this possible? NEED AN ANSWER FAST BEFORE MATCH

Don't give up. I faced similar situation and eventually won the series for several times before. A big victory in second match is possible.

If you have a capable backup GK, suggest you replacing the starting GK with him in the 2nd match. Your team may not need to start next match with very attacking mentality. Your opponent has many defenders. I don't like to be too attacking against them. However, if your team cannot score lately during the match, you should change. I do not study counter formation. But I will avoid put a AMC against a team with DMC. I prefer to use a MC instead of a AMC. Your opponent's defense in both flanks may be weaker. You may try to explore this.

Sorry that my analysis may not be useful. Anyway, wish you good luck in next match.

If you want to have some friends supporting you in matches, friend-requesting the opponents' supporters in this match can be a good start. I like to add supporters of any matches as friends, because these managers like to attend matches.

Thank you. That is actually very helpful. I think I could turn it around. However, the match is while I'm at school and can't attend unless I change the time. What formation would you advise? My AMC is my best player so I could drop him back into a MC for a 4-1-3-2 or have an AML and AMR for a 4-5-1v. I'd appreciate any help for tactics.

I do not study counter formation. Generally, I insist to put my players to their natural positions. So it is hard to adopt various counter formation. I build my teams for formation 4-4-2 and employ some versatile players to facilitate minor formation changes.

For your case, if your starting players are your best ones and have already been placed in the best formation, I suggest to put a blue arrow on the AMC, red arrows on the DMC, ML and MR, and then set focus passing to both flanks. If you can attend the match, I prefer to start with defensive mentality and observe. As usual, identifying inactive players and then make substitution and change attacking focus during the match. If you will not be present, I think setting a normal mentality will be safer.

Please note that I rarely set so many arrows like these. I just try to use your team with my tactics. I am not sure if it works.

BTW, I rarely employ pure AMC, even though 2 AMC were among the best players in my teams' history. But I have at least one AMC/AML or AMC/AMR in my squad so that I can make in-match adjustment to set AMC if necessary.

Good luck.
