Maybe the Macarena can counter 4-4-2...

LoL...

anyways, formation is one thing, opponent's orders are another. You can counter formations but rarely can you counter team orders, because you can't see wht is set. So I am skeptical about one formation countering another perfectly.

Even if you follow the suggested counter formation & orders to the dot, there is a 20% chance it will not work because the opponent might have A. One outstanding player or B. Their teams order neutralize your threats.

So really, it's all about getting your best players to play (best here doesn't mean highest star) and hope that they will turn up for the match.
