Because he played defensively with counter attack on ) Saying to win 4-1-4-1 easily with any specific formation is doubtful to me because there's luck factor also. If he defends well and scores only one goal and you cannot manage to score, that'll be it

The problem I think Is that you used 3W-5-2 V-style without ML and MR. Basically, your AMR/AML are blocked by his DR/DL and DMC. Your 2 STs will find it difficult to score if he put DOWN arrows on his DCs. So if your attack is unsuccessful and his team turns it into counter-attack down both flanks, your defense is simply torn down. If he has good ST and ML/MR, any counter attack can bring him a goal against you.

I'd use 3N-5-2 flat Or 3W-1-4-2.

I prefer 3N-5-2, go with attacking both flanks because your opponent has a DMC, you don't want focus passing to be mixed because that DMC can get your ball and turn it into a counter attack.

Because you use 3 DCs, should go for whole pitch and offside trap.

In summary, you can use 3N-5-2 flat against 4-1-4-1, the settings are Attacking, Down Both Flanks, Whole Pitch, Normal, Mixed, and Offside Trap.

Have a return match with my 4-1-4-1 arch rival.he now has bought an Amc/mc plus two Scout Players attacker and midfielder. Think he might Play with a slightly motivated Team.
what advice would u give on how to deal him the last deadly blow? PS we now have the same average.35/35
Plus i think he is still playing defensive with Counter attack am playing away should i go all out or be more on the defensive as he beat his last two opponents each 10 and 9 Goals to nothing.

thanks in advance for your reply
