@Andreas, your formation is very flat. I believe a flat 3-5-2 could win against it, it might come down to home and away, or simply who's the stronger team. Personally, I never use that formation as I don't use wide midfielders, only attacking wingers if I go wide, but might change the build of my squad next season to be more flexible.

@sher, I come up with counter formations through the way in Justdome's guide in the thread started by Accy, it's quite recent in the forums. Every attacking player must be at least double marked, but I try to place players to triple mark the opponents. A player is marked when he is in a square right next to your player. I'm a big fan of DMCs as I start to mark from the opponent's MCs and forward, and DMCs can mark on all three layers; MC, AMC and ST layers.

I believe your formation is just as good, but do you mean you have no DL at all in your squad? And also, I don't mean the stars when I ask about the opponent, I mean the exact number of average quality. A screenshot of both squads would be better still.
