In my cup match today i play against an opponent 2 levels my senior (im s7) but with pretty much equal quality, who used a very difficult formation which is not listed in the OP's "counter formation" table so this can be added together with my counter solution.

He played a 4-2(centre mid)-3W(att mid)-1. I've seen this formation used with more regularity now and its very attacking while reasonably secure at the back when the centre mids have blue arrows, so it's not an easy one to navigate past.

But I did I won the game 6-0 and dominated - first time this season and against my hardest opponent.

I set up with 3W-2DM-2(wide mid)-2(centre att)-1

Defensively this covered all his attacking players without letting him play in front of me as my 2 dm's could cover that space. I used blue arrows on all 5 of my defending minded players, even the DL & DR so as not to leave my only DC one-on-one with his striker.

My 2 wide midfielders had red arrows to exploit the empty wings and avoid his 2 defensive minded CM's. Then for my 2 central attacking mids i put BLUE arrows. This meant that when he had possion of the ball they would drop back into CM and cover his 2 CM's, but then when i had the ball they could still wreck havoc on his flatback 4, especially with my 2 over-lapping wide mids. My striker had no arrow so he could roam and get more involed with my attacking plays.

The tactics i use were... Team mentality : Normal (not def coz i need to attack and get a good result in a cup game. And not attacking because i didnt want to be left too open).
Focus Passing: Both flanks (I felt that is where his formation was weakest. Could equally use mixed for better possession)
Pressing: Whole Pitch (This is to stop him playing in my half and was vital to the outcome i think).
Tackling: Hard (I didnt want to be bossed)
Passing Style: Mixed (to bypass his overloaded forward players but keep as much possession as possible)
Marking: Zonal
No Counter / No Offside trap

... 6-0 Great result!
Hope this helps if any of you come across this formation. Good luck!
