Any suggestions on beating?

Thanks.

i would say

4-2-2-2 hexagon

or

4-1-2-1-2 narrow diamond

How would a 4-2-2-2 hexagon look?

Thanks for the quick response.

4-2-2-2

I've had great results using narrow diamond against 4-4-2 :D

Only thing I don't what tactics will be better for you.
I've tried short passing, but I think I get better results with mixed and long balls!

mixed passing are OK

But I never play long pass because long pass are for counter attacks

I play mostly with 2-3 MC's to control middle with short pass
but you can use mixed pass

After scoring 1 goal I later changed to long + counter to manage score more goals and It worked!

I think I did that when I was 1-1 while playing an important game :)

you did well

as i said long pass goes only with counter attacks
it did well to you because when other team plays attacking mentality you can easy counter them

Just curious.
What tactics would you use against 4-4-2 using Hexagon?

Down both flanks with red arrows on DL-DR and AML-AMR?

well for 4-2-2-2 you put RED Arrow on AML / AMR

but if you see you need extra attacking you can change to :
attacking mentality
with offside trap : ON
then put Red Arrow on DL/ DR

I have a game with my other team in CL 1/4 final aswell and I won home game 3-1 using narrow diamond.

I have away game in 10 minutes and will try your hexagon formation since I have the right players for the formation :)

I will post result here also!

I tried hexagon and It was bad for me :O

The other team shot like 10 times and I just once (first half)
I switched to narrow diamond and managed to have more control over the game.

I lost 3-2 and my best player was injured again... nordeus wants some $$$ (same player was injured against this team in 1st game! at 90' lol)

I made it to the semifinal I will ask for some help! :)
