How to play against strangest 1-4-3-2?

[zNc]

Hey guys,

first post in here!

Tomorrow I'm going to play this formation:

1-4-3-2:

---------ST---------ST---------
---------MC---MC---MC---------
DML----DMC---------DMC----DMR
---------------DC---------------

Sort of weird... i guess him to have down arrows on his DML/DMR and probably on the 2 DMCs as well.
I have no idea how to play against this formation, because there's no free space on midfield..

Hope someone can help me with this strange stuff

merry christmas to all btw

You should have an easy match, he only has one real defender so the formation should be deemed illegal, you will get 80% possession. Attacking him down the wings would be easier, but due to his offence, it will be hard to fit more players on the wings. Try to use a formation with two ST.

----ST-----ST------
AML-----------AMR-
----MC-MC-MC------
--------------------
----DC-DC-DC------

Just my suggestion, zonal marking, or man-to-man if you're stronger.

thanks
should i set up a defensive mentality?

How do the teams compare? Player qualities? A screenshot of both sides would be good.

Considering his formation, I would ask you to go offensive, red arrows only on the wingers, and partially red arrows on the MCs, not all of them, though. A couple of blue arrows on the DCs would help your defence too.

I won the match 3:1 with defensive motivation.. I had 22,4 and he had 12,3, so it was kind of secure.. but still, i think i could have win higher.. thank you anyways!
