What do you guys think are the best orders to use againts the 4-4-2 classic formation.
As it´s a general all round solid formation do you think mixed focus on passing and mixed passing style will work well, whole pitch pressing, normal tackling and i´ve gone for attacking mentality as i´m the home side, zonal marking and no counters or offsides.
Would anyone do anything different, i´m a 74.4 quality and he´s a 72.6, so pretty similar really.
I have the same problem
i tried formations like 4-1-2-1-2 narrow diamond , 4-1-3w-2 and 3w-5-2
and all lost against 4-4-2
although my quality is 30% greater than the opponent
The orders depend of the weaknesses of your opponent, you need to see were do you have the Best players and were does he have the weaker ones.
Well at the moment if i´ve come up against a 4-4-2 then i´ve played the same formation , and my last 2 opponants have played a 4-4-2,Quote:

Well to be honest where pretty equal i´ve studied his players and my defence is stronger than his 2 strikers and his wide men, my strikers are stronger than his defence but his dl is a Little stonger than my mr, but my ml is stronger than his dr, hope your following me,lol, our mc´s are really the same i hav 2 74´s where he has a 74, and a 75, my players in there sectors have scored more goals than his players, so overall it´s pretty similar, as i said i´m a 74.4 and he´s a 72.6, in my favor i´m home and will be watching with a full crowd so 13% to start, i think today will boil down to who takes their chances, i´m currently on an unbeaten run of 8 with winning the last 7, where his last 8 are wwlllwwd, not that it makes a blind bit of difference, lol.Quote:

Just to let you know i won 6-2, i had 56/44 possession, he had a man recieve a 2nd yellow card on 40 mins, but i was already 2-0 to the good, so i think matching the 4-4-2 formation seems to work better than trying this, that and the other, thanx for your view tho, good look for the rest of the season.
