Counter 31323

Hi and welcome to the forum!

First of all, you'll have to attack his flanks due to the absence of wing-backs and ML/MR. You can use AML/AMR with an attacking arrow or just ML MR. Keep an eye on his strong midfield, as he's using 3MC, which could be tricky to go against. Try DMC+2 MC or 2DMC+MC. In the end, everything comes down to what players you can use. Last but not least, make sure to check whether or not his wingers are second strikers. I break them down on this video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AM36VpXHGKE

Good luck!

I used 451(V) and lost 4-1 :/
He’s in my CL group and cup bracket so will be a tough season

A few important notes:

1) when playing against 3MCs, never play 2 MCs without ML & MR. Midfield would be lost. And that is also why 4-3-2W-1 is the perfect counter of 4-5v-1
2) 15%+ disadvantage means your team should go defensive with no more than 2 attacking players if you prefer a result. Better use 4-1-3-AML/R-ST attacking 1 flank with much better match control (aggressive setup will lead to knockout stage losing by goals conceded)
3) if you just have 1 very good attacker, may well go 4-1-4-1 (flanks) or 4-2-3-1 (middle)
