Which formation should I take?

---ST--ST--
AML-----AMR
---MC-MC---
----DMC----
-DC-DC-DC-
-----GK-----

or

---ST--ST--
-AMC--AMC-
---MC-MC---
----DMC----
-DC-DC-DC-
-----GK-----

I need to beat a 4-4-2 classic
Also how do I set the orders? I was thinking about red arrows to both MC, and no counter, what do you think?
All help is much appreciated

With two words...You must have at least 3 defenders (DL/DC/DR),or 3 DC's.You must have wings DL/DR ; DML/DMR ; ML/MR ; AML/AMR... At least one of them.On the second one that you post there are no wings.
But for better explanation read this post : http://forum.topeleven.com/formation...ion-rules.html

why you dont choose of this formations :
--ST----ST----
-----AMC------(red narrow)
--MC----MC----
------DMC------
DL--DC--DC--DR

Orders :
Mentality : attacking
Passing : Trough the middle
Pressing : whole pitch
Tackling : Normal
Focus pass : Short
Marking : Zonal

sdw: Really thanks mate :D
Moenze Gayo: I don't use to play with DL/DR in any formation I use, so I don't have players for that
I'll finally pick first option, but does your setting fit to my formation? or should I use another one?
Thanks guys :)

I use this formation..
---ST ST---
----AMC----
ML--MC--MR
----DMC----
DL---DC---DR
-----GK-----

Can someone give me some advice to improve it...thanks..

i would use the following if the opponent is stronger

-----ST-----
----AMC----
ML--MC--MR
----DMC----
DL-DC---DC-DR
-----GK-----

3N-2-2-2-1 butterfly works the best aganist 4-4-2 classic...

Thanks guys, but i'm unable to use DL/DR/DML/DMR/ML/MR...so I'll pick first option, but i need help to set it :(
passing short? attacking? Thanks :)

Mentality : attacking
Passing : Down Both Flanks
Pressing : whole pitch
Tackling : Normal (if ure rating balanced with ure enemy/ "Hard" if u lower than them)
Focus pass : long
Marking : Zonal
