    Interesting thread here i bring you the zones covered by each player when you are using 4-4-2 formation using zonal marking. I hope this will be useful for the thread. Thanks.

    Awesome! Do you also perhaps have info on how this varies after using a specific arrow?
    Favorite Formations : 4-1-4-1 // 4-5-1 (F/V) // 4-4-1-1 // 4-4-2

    I have a theory on arrows, i believe you can use them to fit a square on the field, example if you have a DMC and you put red arrow on him, he will try to play as a MC ergo he will fit that position an cover the zones of an MC but slightly less efficient, same for blue arrows, if you have a MC and you want put blue arrow on him, he will try to cover that space and all the adjacent squares.

    PS i kinda use always blue arrows on strikers. Last season i scored +110 goals in lvl 3 league. In lvl 4 now and i won my first 10 games in league. Always using blue arrows on strikers.

    Each player can influence everything around him, and that influence gives the position "1 point". The numbers in the upper box (the one with colours) represent the total amount of players influencing a given position.

    Example :
    The first number is 1, in a green box (upper left corner). That means there's only one player influencing that section of the pitch, which is the left ST.

    Im still new to the game but this has been a fantastic read. I have been playing mostly 4-5-1V but have been noticing that 4-4-2 seems to always do pretty well.

    I am playing a game tomorrow and am countering his formation (left) with a kind of narrow diamond (right). I was wondering if this is messing with 4-4-2 too much with having both a DMC and a AMC but they both seem necessary. Do you think I am doing the right thing?
