4-2-2-2?

[FC Barcelona]

Hi guys,

I usually never try to counter a formation, but in cup & CL anything can happen and i never faced this :

ST - ST
AMC - AMC
MC - MC
DL - DC - DC - DR

I'm 33.9 and he's 23.4. I planned to keep my 4-4-2. Do you think i will have troubles without using my DMC? My other option was to use 3W-1-2-2-2 like this :

- - - ST - ST - - -
AML - - - - - - AMR

MC - MC
DMC
DL - - DC - - DR

But with 3 only 3 defensive players, i think i will be more in danger than a simple 4-4-2. Don't you think?

Thanks guys, Cheers!

he's running a very narrow formation. Between your better team of players and the width a 4-4-2 will give you, I dont see this team giving you any problems. I don't think you need to change your formation.

try 3W-2DMC-3W-2 both flanks, defensive with counter attack

Try
4 1 3 2
Normal, Mixed with counter atttack

I played against a team like that, I played 3 (DC DC DC) 4 (ML MC MC MC ) 1 AMR 2 (ST ST) and I won with no problem ( 4 - 1 )

ps: orders: very offensive minded, short passes
