Table of Counter Formations v2.0 - Which formation to use?

[padrino]

I have an important match tomorrow against the 2º on my league (I'm 1º with 40 points, he has 39), he uses 4-3w-1-2 in every match, on first round I used 4-5-1 V against him but lost 2:1, right now I'm planning to use 4-1-4-1, not sure about the orders and not sure if my formation will work correctly against his one.
There are pics of my team and his one:

Are there any different options I could use, or is this fine?

4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Diamond is better, surely.

Try 4-5-1v, attack through the flanks, counter ON or 3-2-2-2-1 Butterfly, through the flanks, counter ON

4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Diamond is better, surely.

Nvm, he switched to a different formation, he is using this right now:

GK
DL DC DR
DMC
MC MC
AML AMC
ST ST

Any suggestion? I thought about 4-1-3n-2, since I would be using 3 MCs against 2 and 2 ST against 1 DC, so I would have a big advantage focusing my attacks on center.

Edit: Nvm anymore, won 2-0 using 4-1-3n-2.

Ideally, i'd play a central attacking formation against this, such as the 4-1-2-1-2 ND or 4-3n-1-2 to exploit that lack of central midfielders.

Based upon your roster personnel though, I'd just switch out your DMC (Filipovic) for Jocic (ST) and play a 4-4-2 classic. normal/down the flanks/own half/hard/mixed/zonal - no counter/no offsides. red arrows on DL, DR, ML and MR.

Please update the table, there are some formations that doesn't counter others as the table shows:

3-5-2 V doesn't counter 4-5-1 flat anymore:




4-3n-2w-1 doesn't counter 3-2-2-2-1 Butterfly anymore:




My team is much better than both opponents, and I couldn't win, and forms were terrible in both matches, I lost very important points because of this.

which is better against 4-4-2 ? 4-5-1V or 3-2-2-2-1

which is better against 4-4-2 ? 4-5-1V or 3-2-2-2-1

Choose one according to form of your players. Put in players whose form is better. Besides that, if you have double position players in team DL-DML, DR-DMR and DC-DMC in team, then you can change formation during the match without doing substitute
