how to beat 4-4-2 formation?? my squad average quality is slightly lower (1) than my opponent,,,,and i have no LAM or RAM so which formation and order will be good against him????? pls help !!!!!!!!!

[Marian TFn]

A while ago i encoutered a 4-4-2 in cup , first leg i used a 4-3-2(AML/AMR)-1 and i lost 5-1 , for the second leg i countered him with a 4-1-2-1-2 narrow diamond , i beat the crap out of him 7-0 ... So i'll definitely recommend you a narrow diamond !
As orders i used attacking , short pases , trough the middle , press own half , normal tackling , zonal marking , no counterattack no offside. Good luck !

If I was your opponent you are out already. The reason being that I would never use flat midfield against diamond. When I see you are using diamond I switch my formation. Its a deadly formation, so, as you are planning to beat me with it I am also try not to lose. The manager didn't care since he won the first leg with a wide margin. And you gave it to him. Nice one though.

ND not effective against 442 i think 3w142 works good

the only 2 games i had against 442 with the same quality, i won playing 4-4-1-1...i had already lost against weaker teams playing ND..u may score going throught the middle, bur he will kill u in the flanks...

from what i have seen, to win against 4-4-2:

a) control the middfield; 4 our more players.

b) cover the flanks.

c) attack through the middle.

Assuming, we play to win, few formations can do that, 4-4-1-1 or 4-1-3w-1-1 may do the job..i wil test the last one..
