4-4-2 classic overpowered?

[Mike Slagmolen]

Always play a 4-3-3 situation but with some accurate adjustments To have rotating players. Keep it narrow, play midfield. Basically what you have to get is one of your strikers moves into a slight Amc position in defense. Mid Mc into a dmc position and one Dc going over the wing during attack (pref a dc/drc) this way you keep plenty defense against 2 strikers, you have enough power in midfield and enough scoring power in the front but one very important asset is the fact you shut down their wingers.

keep mixed passing. Counter and offside off, zonal marking, attack play, normal tackles, and pass through midfield.

The backs stay as is.

I just did this against a 4-4-2 classic while i was the away team and he had a stronger team. I won 4-0. Thank you!

[eltek]

he had way better team than mine cause hes lvl 5 and im 3 only seems that 4132 may be effective

[Pete Cuffe]

just tried your tactics in a cup final, lost 4-0 both lvl 12, 80.2 v 78.3 ive tried everything this season against 442 lost 3 drew2 won 0, the 2 draws i played 442 agaist weaker opponent, still no idea !!!!! haha

This post is good if everyone could post personal experience with LVL - Quality and tactics and not just the tactics and formation alone hehe

[Mike Slagmolen]

Lvl 6, top of the competition with 64 goals.

[SoMBrA]

Which formation is the worst for you?
If you play 442 then you can help us.

I was thinking 442 narrow diamond

[Adam Marszał]

I've got my final in 20 minutes. And have simillar situation. He's better and he plays 4-4-2 but I will probably start with 4-5-1 flat and switch if needed to 4-4-1-1 or 4-4-2.
But I've got a question about the red arrows on dr and dl does it really helps?

[André Costa]

dr/dl with arrows give virtually 7 middfielders, so u may control de middle...didn' t put any in the amr/aml because thought that would leave a big hole in the flanks (where he probably attacks..) arrow in the amc because he didn' t had any dmc, so..

Good luck.

(Please, post the result)

[Adam Marszał]

I've won the cup!!!
thanks!

I've played 4-5-1 hard the rest on normal or mixed. Red arrows on central midfielder and both wingbacks.
Got a bit lucky cause he was not watching and he lost his mc due to injury in 40th minute.



Thanks for all the help!
