Help me to Counter 4-2-1-3 (15% Stronger opponent)

[Der_Ryan_M]

Thanks, maybe I should have posted earlier. I played with custom 4-4-2
(3DC+DR/Mr)
(ML+DMC+MC±MR/AMR)
2 (ST)
Basically, I Shielded my left and Attacked with right side, it's going well untill 85 min. Then a free-kick killed my hopes. He had 18 shot with 2 on target, on the other hand I had 3 out of 7 on target. His team is far better, I wouldn’t mind drawing, bad luck.
I have another opponent of same formation tommorow, his team is even stronger players. I'm thinking about using 3W-1-2-3-1. Should I play tall striker or fast one?

It depends if he is playing 4-2-3-1? You didn't confirm it and I didn't understand previously...
An advice I can give you is to never play the same formation in the first and second leg of cup/CL/association, always change something. The 3W-1-2-3-1 works well against 4-2-3-1 I mostly use it.

Height is only cosmetic, just try to play your best team.
