Table of Counter Formations - What to use?

[P.F.C. Stompwijk]

4-4-2 is very effective for me it works almost on everything except the illegal formations

[Anaphros]

Versus 4-3N-1-2 *Level 2*
Having tried the 4-3-2(AML/R)-1 I was losing 1-0 on halftime and just to make it worse my right defender was injured and I decided to turn to a 3-1-3-2(AML/R)-1 and apparently this formation doesn't work at all since I lost 5-0 on a cup match.

Well 5-0 was a large score to turn around and almost managed it. I have to note that his team average (playing) was 20.6(scout ST) and mine was 21.1(no scout players) so we are about the same.

A 5-1-3-1 formation on the first half with red arrow on DL/DR and central ML with Hard Attacking lead to 1-0 with 65% possesion second half I switched the dmc with a 15(3star) striker and ended 3-0.

VS 3W-2-3W-2
I use 2N-3W(DMC)-2N-1-2
It's works for me one time

4-5-1 V-Style does not work against 4-4-2!!!

I did won the first match 1-0 (my Quality 30, he was 17) !!!

Second match he did won 2:1 !

All my players are from scout! I win against Quality 38 (im 30) but can't win (Q17) 4-4-2 with 4-5-1 V-Style!
Nothing wrong on my tactics, i always change them in game to bring some dynamics, i nearly never lose...

I bet, if i would play ANY OTHER Formation, i would have won !

Hello everybody ... does anyone have any idea to counter 3-2-1-2-2 formation :
----ST---ST----
AML--------AMR
-------MC-------
--DMC---DMC--
DL----DC----DR
-------GK-------

someone suggested to go for 3-2-2-2-1 :
--------ST-------
AML----------AMR
----MC----MC----
DML----------DMR
----DC-DC-DC----

attacking through the flanks with red arrows on the wingers... but I'm not sure :/

Illegal formation. Anything should beat it.

how do i beat 4-1-3w-1-1 and 4-1-3n-1-1? I always have trouble counter these 2 formations. At first i thought it is the same as 4-1-3-2 so i used 4-3-2-1 and 3-1-4-2 as show on the table of counter but i lost 2 times. Yesterday i tried 4-5-1 v but lost 3-0. Please help
