Would be interested to know what you would do if your average is higher or lower than your opponents playing the same formation.
Its absoluelty fine to stay the same and play a mirror formation match!, you will have to watch the game stats very closely to see who is winning the key areas ( Tackling, shots, possession) and alter to suit!, you could try 4-3w-3 and see if it pegs him back, or be more conservative a nd play a back 4 so 4-1-3w-3 would be a good start base!, if you do come across this which I have only on a handfull of occassions then set attacking to normal, no forced counter attacks at the start then change later on say HT!, changing to MOM marking is worth a try! I have never used it in that situation I like zonal to much as MOM I think also drains players energy following his opponent but that just me thinking in my head I dont know for sure if it has any effect.
