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

[Michalis23]

This game irritates me some times... Just lost to a guy 1-2 in my home and he had a much inferior team.
Neither of us were watching the game and I was shocked.
Can you please tell me how to counter this?

[Rezylainen]

Theres a guy whos suddenly winning everything in my league, he plays a 4-3N-3. Will my team be able to beat him?

This is my team.

Also I drew at home earlier to this guy, my team should be much better than his. Could someone explain why?

Also, what whould be the best tactics with my 4-2-3-1 setup? How can I use my advantages in my formation?

Huh
1st, was match already played? I
f not, could you post screenshot of his squad?
Your team has quite weak defence. I would suggest you to play through flanks, to put blue arrows on mc's and amc, but still it might not be enough.
I usually use 3dc+dmc defence against 3ST formations, but you don't have good players on those positions. Moreover, your best defender DL would be on bench if 3DC defence was used.

[El Pistolero]

Bit of advice against this would be appreciated



He favours defensive formations so I know he's lethal on the counter.

Playing 4-3-3 seems the only way to overpower but I don't want to get carried away.

@El Pistolero
I would suggest 352 Flat,

[Duncton]

I'd play 4-4-2 with long passing. Or maybe 3-4-3, 3-5-2, 3-1-4-2. Depends on the strenght of his strikers and your defense.

[El Pistolero]

Doesn't matter. Played a friendly against him using 4-2-2-2 and won 7-1
So he played against me changing a striker to CM and I won 0-1

So I should be fine starting with 4-3-2w-1

[El Pistolero]

I can't unless I play a player out of position, no MR.

I guess I could play 3-5-2v

Hm, I would like to avoid playing with AML/R against DMR/L, but if that's your only choice, then...

I know, don't really have much choice. I'll let you know the trail anyway.
