how to beat 4-4-2

[Georgi Enchev]

1st match I had 2 injury players .. so i lost 0-2 . Today is my second game.. i have DMC injury so i need formation without DMC I thinks to use 3N-4-1-2 .. Please give me some orders for this or other formation I need to win 2-0 or more

Use 1 good MC as a DMC and go for 3-5-2 V-style, attacking mentality, red arrows to AML/AMR, blue to DC's. Flanks passing, full pitch pressure, no counterattacks, offside trap ON.

There are some risks, but you need to win anyway...

Hey! im in the same situation. I lost 1st hand @ home 0-3 against a slightly better 4-4-2. I used 4-5-1 v in the 1st half and allowed 2 goals. Then changed to 4-1-2-1-2 nd and allowed another one. The 2nd half is in 2 hours. I was thinking 3-2-2-2-1 butterfly. Any thoughts?

thanks!

I WIN 5-3 but.. my MC fked me and get red card.. and worst is that she score 3 goals in my home.. so 5-5 but goals on enemy home my formation counter 4-4-2 well + that she was better quality on players

[tgog79]

And what formation did you use?

[Georgi Enchev]

3n-4-1-2 + injured ST in game

4-5-1v still works for me vs 4-4-2 classic. Use red arrows on DL and DR so that they block opponent's MR and ML while also feeding passes to your AML and AMR. Also you can put red arrow on your DMC. If you are playing defensive style, use long passes through the wings, whole field tackling with offside trap. Otherwise, if you wanna use normal mentality, mixed passing with whole pitch pressing + offside trap, through the wings.

Hexagon works too
V
V
attack mentality, downboth flanks, pressing ownhalf, long passing, force counter attack, offsidetrap..
Red arrow for 2MC+2ST, Blue arrows for all defender.
