Yes, this season, hard attacking, mixed, hard tackling, whole pitch.

Blue arrows on players in own half, red arrows in opposing half

tactic? arrows? pass? strong opponent or lite?

Guys, stop saying X formation works when you won 1 or 2 games with it. Also, playing against a weak team doesn't really count because quality made the difference, not the formation.

I have tried most of the formations with a test team on another account against 4-4-2 with a similar quality and only 1 formation stood out. While 4-5-1v may work, it gives the opponent more chances because of the lack of wing coverage. So move the wingers to a ML/MR position and use a 4-1-4-1. I like to play mixed passing but you can experiment a little with the orders. At this moment in time, 4-1-4-1 is the best formation I can think of that can counter the 4-4-2. I've watched my friends use it and they succeed with said formation.

So I would like more people to try 4-1-4-1 with attacking tactics, mixed passing and red arrows on ML/MR and ST and show their results. It's pretty much how I play it but if you want to change the orders then feel free :) You won't win 100% of the time but you can win the majority of your games.

Recently I was a bit unlucky against a 4-4-2 when I used 4-1-4-1 and got a 3-3 result, it was the only time that I have struggled against it with the formation and I'm pretty sure it was a one-off.

I will try this for sure. Thanks.

Hi dv8r,

I tried these tactics against a slightly lower 4-4-2 team 66.4 vs his 63.8 and I lost 3-1. I played the match attacking with mixed mixed focus and mixed passing with red arrows on the ML/MR and ST. Just wanted to post my results for the game that I had, have another game later today vs the same 4-4-2.

dv8r i tried with your orders, red arrows on ml, mr and st.
