    You are asking all the wrong questions.
    You are asking for a tactic...

    You should ask if the counters still work.
    You should start the mathc using one of the 3 counters(if they still work), and change the tactics during the game.
    You should never go with only one tactic(def/or/att) during a game as important as this.
    The game should be tight, so you need to see how your team reacts tothe tactics:
    If you are winning, don't change a thing.
    If you are losig, or not getting the shots, change something.
    If your ST's miss, change their placementon the field.
    If they miss again, substitute them from the game.
    If a player gets a yellow card, sub him, dont wait for the second one.

    The match is today at 18:41 GMT.

    Thanks for everyone's response. However I have not seen a consensus on formation or tactics. Everyone has given a unique option. Surely there should be option where many agree on a single option to counter and win

    Actually there shouldn't be a definite tactic to counter another formation. Formation is probably just half of the battle. The other half is made up of players & random game engine. This is supposed to probably add to the realism. You can counter specific threats with the right formation, but sometimes you cant counter the whole opponent especially if some are on form.

    Just read the suggestions and go with your gut. No such thing as a guaranteed winning counter esp if both managers are actively playing.

    Good luck mate

    I saw few games this season that this defensive formation beat match stronger offensively playing opponents 5,7-0. Defense doesnt means loosing sir

    they say 4-4-2 classic counters 4-2-2-2 hexagon counters 4-2-2-2 hexagon, however I wouldn't chose that formation. ive got some suggestions which could help you.
    3n-2dml/r-2-1-2 - through the middle, mixed passing, attacking, no counter and no offside with arrows on AMC and STs
    4-3n-1-2 - attacking, through the middle, short/mixed passing, no counter and no offside, arrows on AMC and STs
    3w-4-1-2 - attacking, mixed, mixed, no counter, no offside, arrows on AMC and STs

    these formations should be useful as they dominate the middle, and use an AMC against a formation which doesnt use any sort of DMC to counter it. and you should use HARD tackling, as he is higher quality than you.

    or you could use 3n-5-2v or 3w-5-2v with attacking, down both flanks, mixed, no counter, yes offside with arrows on AML/R and STs.

    NOTE: if a formation does not work for you, change it to a new one and if the formation is fulfilling your needs by countering the 4-2-2-2 hexagon, then leave it as it is.

    good luck mate, hope you win.

    Ok again thanks for all your suggestions. After doing more research on the forum and trying to find old results against the formation in questions. Also my opponent has lost only 1 match in the league and he lost from a weak opponent who used 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow diamond. So going by his recent loss to 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow diamond formation, i believe the game engine could be in favor of this. So my plan for tonight is below. If you think I can improve on any part please let me know. Thanks

    4-1-2-1-2 Narrow diamond :

    --ST---ST--
    ----AMC----
    ---MC--MC--
    ----DMC----
    DL-DC-DC-DR

    Mentality : Defensive
    Focus Passing : Through the middle
    Pressing : Own Half
    Tackling : Normal
    Passing Style : Mixed
    Counter : ON
    Offside : OFF


    or

    3N-2DML/DMR-4-1

    -----ST----
    -----------
    ML-MC-MC-MR
    DML------DMR
    --DC-DC-DC--

    Blue arrows on all DC and DML/DMR
    Red arrow on ML/MR/ST

    team mentality = Defensive
    focus passing = Down both flanks
    pressing style = half
    tackling style = Hard
    passing style = mixed
    marking style = Zonal
    Counter attack = yes
    offside trap = no

    and when things go wrong


    3-4-3 flat with

    --ST-ST-ST--
    ------------
    --MC-MC-MC--
    ----DMC----
    DL-DC-DC-DR

    team mentality = Normal
    focus passing = mixed
    pressing style = half
    tackling style = Hard
    passing style = mixed
    marking style = Zonal
    Counter attack = yes
    offside trap = no

    4-1-2-1-2 narrow diamond should be used with
    attacking
    through the middle
    short passing
    zonal
    own half
    hard tackling
    no counter and no offside
    red arrows on AMC and STs
