Table of Counter Formations - What to use?

[MadbullJT]

Can I assume the 4-1-4-1 formation is flat DL-DC-DC-DL/DMC/AML-AMC-AMC-AMR/ST? Or can the DMC be interchanged with MC depending on quality or availability of players? Or interchange the offensive 4 across the ML=>MR line for the same reasons? Obviously, doing this presents a more defensive posture. Also, I notice there are no indicators for use of red/blue arrows in the table for any formations.

No it's played with ML-MC-MC-MR

Also, red/blue arrows are totally up to the manager and how they want their players to play.
