However, the hardest battle is just in the front of our doors; our next match is against very strong cup opponent.
Mine team:
11x scouts (10x Q90 + Q91)
8x 5* players
2x 4* GK with high defensive skill
His team:
14x 7* (Q95+) + 1x 6* (Q94), one world class defender is suspended
other players have 1*

Which setup would use against him? His formation is 442.
I though about 3DC-3DMW-3MC-1 or some 451 formation, but I'm not sure. Average difference between our squads is around 7 marks (over 100 skill points per player)
This screenshot was taken yesterday, before he bought ML 6* and before he changed formation to 442.
Before considering which formation, go to his squad and try to find out his best players.
Goals to games ratio + form + assists. Go to his league and check his goal difference.

Now, you can take a defensive approach and play 4-5-1v or you can use the most popular counter for 4-4-2 and use 4-1-2-1-2.

Hope this helps.
