How about arrows , and 4-3N-1-2 or 4-3W-1-2 and one point is your team stronger or weaker or equal . Thanks for share

I just watched a match . 4-1-3-1-1 can beat 4-4-2 but i don't really know about details of the formation . I guest attack , thru the middle ( because his team attack alot , and the ball always around the middle when his team attack ) . Somebody know some details please share below here

I found 3N-1-3W-1-2 works really well for me. Perfect resuls and stats. Ironically 442 is listed as a counterformation.

i have always won with 4-1-3-1-1 against 4-4-2

ive tried 3-2-2-2-1 butterfly, 4-5-1v style, 4-1-2-1-2 nd, 4-3n-3, 4-3n-1-2 and it never beats 4-4-2 classic. well ive beaten 4-4-2 with 4-5-1v a few times, but its not always reliable. anyone got a perfect formation that works for them? tell me arrows and orders of your formations please. thanks

You won 5-0 because you were 13.1 points stronger than your opponent. IMO your tactics and formation do not apply. The result I had on the previous page was against a superior opponent. It means a bit more.

I will see if I can post a picture. I used 451V with 2 red arrows on your DL and DR, a blue arrow on your DMC and two blue arrows on your DC's while adding two red arrows on your AML and AMR, focus passing over both flanks, normal mentality, normal tackle, mixed passing and forcing the counter attack. I also press my own half while marking zonal.

I am using this setup facing equally strong teams, while the are watching the match. Maybe I am just getting lucky, but I usually controll possesion and smother attacks early when they are trying to build up.

Before the match I would set up 4141 and change it to 451V right before kick off.

thats a good idea. league rivals last season did that. ima out cheeky them by setting an illegal formation, then when the game starts ill set my usual formation in hopes of them being too cocky and sending in their reserves >;P

i actually think the 4-4-2s weakness is in the middle. they have 4 wingers and 4 centerers (or centreers), pretty even right? theyre missing a CDM, the most overpowered position. since there arent any other teams using the 4-4-2 other than me and myself (aint no 'I' yet), ill probably try it on both, both ways

oh no you brought dem arrows! must, remain, strong...
