1-1 at home in CL vs weaker opponent playing 4-4-1-1

4141 is your best formation to counter it.. up arrow on all players at wing.. i normally meanwhile leave one as LM (up) and the other as AMR (without up so he can be more around mid are for possession) .. but problem you conceded an away goal so you may need to make sure to score and the other issue is that his flanks are well protected .. so may be is better to focus all attack in center .. with 3N-2W(DML/R)-2N-2(AMC)-1 or 1 AMC and 2 attackers with all attacks focused on central axis .. that seem better option now... i will start with 2 AMC bcz it will give me the domination over his 5 in mid, and if you failed to score will switch to 1 AMC and 2 strikers

So many different options to choose from. In terms of having my best players selected, 4-4-2 narrow diamond would be best, as I will have 6*/7* players in 8 positions. As you can see from my squad pic a few posts above,
