A Nice formation to beat a 4-3-3 with quick wingers?

[Perfectio]

Hello, I'm Gustavo from Uruguay, and I play PES6 with Real Madrid, when I play against my mate, he uses Real Madrid too (we're both RM fans)

The thing is... he uses a 4-3-3 formation with Ronaldo as a right winger and Robinho as a left winger, with Ruud as CF.

He oftenly uses through passes to Ronaldo or Robinho on the flanks and the "generic" goal or whatever passing it to Ruud, I HATE THAT...

I'd like to know a good formation to have this covered.
My actual formation atm is:

--------------------Casillas--------------------
Ramos----Helguera--------Cannavaro---R.Carlos
------------Diarra----------Emerson-----------
Beckham-------------------------------Robinho
-----------Ronaldo-------van Nistelrooy--------

wierd, this 4-4-2 formation is what I use to counter the 4-3-3 attacks. Because they don't have a side midfielder, you can easily use your side midfielders to attack their flanks and give a taste of their own medicines. Also, since your side mid and side back are more closer than their wing forwards and side backs, you should be able to take on their wingers easily by double teaming them. Don't know if this helps you.

Also, use :R2 a lot to cover on the wing.

Beckham is slow and cannot run fast, you'd have a hard time against a speedster like robinho. Try using Ramos to man-mark robin, and get Emerson to man-mark van nistelrooy, it is a key to mark the post players.

This is exactly what i use against 4-3-3 and especialy with a team like inter to beat chelsea and barcelona. Those teams you meat very often online. I play stankovich and figo as lmf and rmf and they can pass to zlatan and adriano. My online score with this formation is at the moment 64%. Not bad what do you think?

I just read that in your "editing reason" you said that Becks is my weak point...and actually, he isn't... my weak point would be Robinho and Roberto Carlos when they go forward, and there's the space... HIS Robinho is kinda covered by Becks ( I defend pretty well with David ) and Ramos.

Anyway, when you say "double-teaming" them... how? with my RMF/R Back ( or LMF/LB ) or with my RMF and one of the defensive ones?

Thanks for the help you've given till now, I really apreciate it.

If roberto carlos is leaving to much space, change his role to cb and he wont wander!
