Does counter attacking still work

[Hoodiemchood]

I generally play a 4231 (DM Wide) formation both home and away - usually a controlling setup and home and easy away games and try to counter for most away games.

Full back - automatic
Central defender - defend
Central defender - defend
Full back - automatic

Ball winning midfielder - support
Defensive midfielder - defend

Winger - support
Attacking midfielder - attack
Inside forward - support

Complete forward - attack

Team shape - tried flexible, fluid and structured (makes no difference)

What instructions should I be setting out or other tweeks I should be making for a good counter attacking formation?

Cheers
