Hi,

Has anyone come across this formation.

4-2DMC-AML-AMR-AMC-1

So to confirm, that's a flat back 4, 2 DMC and no midfielders. Instead he is playing 3 attacking midfielders and one up front.

It was clear this was going to be a counter attacking formation so I was cautios, played 4-5-1 diamond with force counter attack but having taken the lead he beat me 2-1. 2nd leg in champions league semi final is tomorrow with me away from home.

FYI I have the better team. Was thinking of flooding the midfield, something like 4-5-1 or even 4-3-1-2 but wary of not having a DMC. Any thoughts?
