help against 4-4-2 flat

[Sylerj]

Hello !

Today in Champions league, i Play against a much stronger opponent than me.
He is using 4-4-2 flat with 6 or 7 stars players.
I lost the first match 3-1 in my stadium with 4-4-1-1 defensive, mixed passing, hard tackling.

Do you have any ideas for countering this ?

Thanx !

play 4-2-1-3 with red arrows on your dl and dr and mixed passing through the middle hard counter on defensive...my 2 cents

[Sylerj]

thank you whtie rabbit, i'll test that

If u have DML/DMR then follow this:
GK
dc-dc-dc
dml-dmr
mc-mc-mc
st-st

Use only blue arrow at Middle DC
Defensive and counter attack...
mix pass/hard tackle/no offside/play counter attack...

Your opponent will get tired then u just need to score...
I won quite a lot of game that way with 4-4-2..
good luck

THank you Brian but DML and DMR are the only positions my players can't play

I am always playing with 4-5-1 V formation against 4-4-2 and I am usually leaving the game as winner. Red arrows on the dl,dr,aml and amr, but in your cause it will be quite risky give the fact that you are weaker than him.

Good luck!

I have lost 1-0 using 4-1-2-3, he was too strong I guess

why did u use 4-1-2-3? that's highly unusual. i beat a guy just now with 6 points q better than me with 4-2-1-3 through the middle 2-0...sorry for your loss
