Best tactic for newbies?

[Darkey]

heyho guys.(sry for bad english ^^)

im playing since ~5 days and actually using 4-4-2. (the middle of def and mid is free)
i got some questions now.

1. is 4-4-2 ok, or is there any better way? i know it depends on enemie alot but i want a tactic which i can use against everyone.

2. which settings should i use? its actually like that: (dont know exact english words)
offensive play
passes: both sides
pressing: whole place
tackling: hard
passing: mixed
zone defence
counter: no
offside trap: no

3. are players playing better when they are fit or not? is there any difference?

hope someone can answer.

greetings

depends in your opponent. 4-4-2 it's pretty strong formation but if your opponent is much stronger than you with an AMC AML or AMR it will be pretty hard to get what you want. i suggest 4-4-2 Red arrows to your flanks with counter attack, passing mixed tackling normal and pressing to your half. otherwise use 4-1-2-1-2:
---ST-ST---
___________
----AMC----
___________
--MC---MC--
___________
----DMC----
___________
DL-DC-DC-DR
___________
----GK-----

ok thx and

?

[Nanoworlder]

Yeah it's better to put him in the right place. Also depends on the player's quality and the quality of your opponent. For example. If your DMC is 1 star and his AMC is 3 stars then it's better to put at least 4-5 stars MC in the right place with blue arrows without playing your 1star DMC.

Agree with all other opinions

4-4-2 , narrow diamond and 4-5-1 V style are the best options to chose.

Formation which brought me 2 league titles (lvl1,2) was :

------ST---ST-----
-------------------
ML---MC-MC-MC---
-------------------
-----DC-DC-DC--DR
---------GK--------

Could be opposite (DL, MR)
Good flanks!

Passes mixed,
tackling normal,
pressing :
4-4-2 (like this formation) mixed, narrow diamond through through the middle, 3-5-1 V style both sides.

Wish You GL !

Have you ever tried 4-5-1 V style against the 4-4-2 classic formation?
if you could post the results of the match i will appreciate it.

4-5-1 V style is my favorite formation. Usually wins with narrow edge (V style has only one striker, but one of my wings is shadow striker).
