So we have Played a few games now. Does anyone has a solution allready for the overpowered 4-4-2. The only counter formation i use is 4-4-2. With the other formations i lose. I allready have tried the 4-5-1 flat with arrows. Not working.

4-1-2-1-2
Tryd loads of counters to 4-4-2 this season and lost them or drawed them all against weakers teams. Im just gonna use 4-4-2 myself when im up against someone playing that formation.

with a same Q opponent i used 3-1-4-2, 3-5-2 V and ND and all three gave me 60% possession and pressure over them.
The outcome depends on how the 4-4-2 is motivated. If have noticed that formations with 5 midfielders can do quite well.
There was another thread where a forum user explained the setup for 4-5-1 flat with offensive arrows on wing and defensive on central midfielders. In the cup I noticed a 5-0 victory for a 3W-5-2 against 4-4-2 (both similar quality), but I did not watch it live, so I can not state anything about support, tactical changed (but no substitutions or cards were displayed in the match report).
442 strikes again 50 v 40 cl match, home with 13% 3n 2w 3 2 lost 2-1 , used everyting no joy might but a right winger haha
I had a cup rematch 3 days ago against a 4-4-2 of similar quality. I had lost 2-4 at first leg using Morgan O'Bree's 4-5-1 variant (I'm not saying it doesn't work. It just didn't work for me). In the second match I used the formation below with normal ment, mixed passes, mixed focus, no counter no offside. No arrows.

I scored at 34' and 84' and one of my opponent's STs suffered an injury at 47'. I won but was disqualified according to away goals rule ( I'm not saying this formation works. It just worked for me during that match)
I have the same problem... i´m playing the cup rematch at home against 4-4-2 today and need to score two more goals than he does.
Right now i´m thinking to use 4-1-2-1-2 or 3w-5-2.... Other ideas are welcome ;-)
well cl return match 442 , used 3 2w 2 2w 1 no arrows , normal, mixed, zonal and won 3-1 away (lost 2-1 at home) with 3-2w-3-2 who knows
diamond is a problem u got less midfiled
Than 3w-5-2?
Good luck! Well i don´t have a DMR or DML...
I started with 3n-2w-2n-2w-1 i had like 56% Ball position and 8 shots on goal he had 7 shots on goal. So i change my team in minute 60 in a 4-4-2 formation (sorry didnt had the balls to finish is with 3-2-2-2-1.) and i scored 2 goals and won the match 0-2. Ill try is vs a weaker team again.
In the fist match (at his stadium) i played like him 4-4-2. I had more ball possession 55to45 but i had just 13 shots and he 22 (on target 12 for him 3 for me).
I think my orders been first half: (he scored his two goals in the first half)
normal
flanks
own half
hard
mixed
zonal
no offside no counter
(red arrows on ML/MR)
second half:
offensive
flanks
hole pitch
hard
mixed
zonal
no offside no counter
(red arrows on ML/MR)
I tried a lot of different formations and orders ( including those discussed here) to win against 4 - 4 - 2 classic but still lost. so imo, only 4 - 4 -2 can beat 4 - 4 -2.
When a formation is overpowered, it will force all players to use it. and as a result everything will go to money you put on the game :)
hope that nordeus will make a game engine update so top eleven wont get boring with " 4 - 4 - 2, 4 - 4 -2 Everywhere"
