4-4-2 classic overpowered?

[André Costa]

any news to beat 4-4-2?? cup final today against a stronger team...guess i will use, 4-4-1-1...

Winner!! Was close..he was able to score 2 goals, but inth end los...i had more shots and possession...red arrows on dl, dr and amc...mix attack, mix pass, hard, zonal, no offside, no CA...

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)

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!

i think 4411 is good against 442

[Mohamed Sultan]

Attacking through middle.

He won't know what hit him.

Man-on-man, mixed passes, and you can even try defensive with counter attacks.

I'm level 9, I play only scouts at a minimum, I play 4-4-2 a bit. The one formation I get stuck against is the 4-1-3w-2. Teams that play that formation seemed to really dominate me early last season. At a guess they were playing defensive with hard tackling (no of cards given). Any formation with a strong AMC was also tough, found myself watching the commentary and if the AMC came up, changed the formation.

maybe 3-2-4-1?

---DC-DC-DC---
DR------------DL
