Whenever I face weaker teams they always switch to this formation. Basically it's a classic parking the bus strategy. Nowadays I have really learnt how to tame this formation.

I always go for 3N-1-2(MC)-2(AML-AMR)-2. But here the key is, you have to press high and always go for Short passes and play wide if not down both flanks. I.e. make sure you avoid playing down the middle.
When I faced last time, it was in the league and I smashed the opponent 6-2. πŸ˜€.!!!
