formation i have never seen before

[cracicot]

I've seen that formation and have played against it,i'd suggest you to play like this.
The time i did i won pretty easy considering all his players got 7's+ and some of them 9's while my player had a abd day and didn't play well (won 2-0)

I agree with this.

But I would probably go with the 3-2-2-2-1 butterfly. Its a proven winner vs that formation for me.
