Good against all formation

[technotronic]

Hey!

Iv'e got a second leg of a cup match today. I won first leg 3-0.
My opponent changes his formation each match according to who he is playing against.
Now he changed the match time to 03:00 AM.
I cannot be awake at this hour, so I'm looking for the best formation that can play well
against all others (as I dont know what formation he will use).
My team is slightly better than his, 29 vs 27.

Suggestions?

4 4 2

Was thinking about doing that... What orders should I use, according to what I wrote?
Any other suggestions for a formation?

If you are 3 up (way or home...I presume), why not defend, and counter attack?
Would 442 be a balanced / middle line option?

I'm 3 up after a home win. That is what I'll do. I will post an update tomorrow. Thanks!

There is no one formation that can "beat all".

Oh, I was waiting for someone to be smart. Other people understood my meaning.
Sometimes it's better not to comment anything (Especially when I didn't ask for a formation that can "beat all").

He played something that looks like 4-1-3-1-1 so i played 3-1-4-2 and won 2:0. Oh yeah!

4-5-1 is also pretty neat, thanks to the greater midfield control, and high defense. If you put 3 arrows on the ML, mid MC, and MR, your attack would be pretty nice as well.

So far, I've been able to crush any "weird" formation I've come across with it. And it really is my go to format, when I'm not sure what to play.

Use the default orders (except for the tackle, you want Hard tackle). If after the first half you already got 1 in (preferably 2) you might switch to either Defensive Ment., or Attacking (your advantage is worth the little risk, and anytime I made the change it yielded even more goals.)

If you go for Defensive in the 2nd half, better put blue arrows on ML, mid MC, and MR, and activate Counter-attack. Better yet, if you have a good DMC you might even prefer him instead of the mid MC, at this stage (=> 4-1-4-1).

For the Attacking Ment., keep your 3 red arrows, and the initial 4-5-1. Or better yet, once again, if you have a good AMC, replace the mid MC with him. => 4-4-1-1)
