What to use against 4-4-2?

[Silviu S]

I match in UEFA Champions League

I used 4-5-1 in League and beat me .. 1-0

I want to know what formation, tactics, arrows do you recommend?

Been having the same problem with 4-5-1 v style for the past few seasons.. I've been trying different formation and 3n-4-1-2 seems to be working.. Also think its the way your players adapt to their formations. I know its frustrating as 4-5-1 v style is a great formation to play with!

[Bubba]

uhmm...by my way too much arrows...You forced your player to overtime work!
I think the formation should work, try defensive mind and counterattack on, red arrows only on DL/DR and DMC's
and also...isn't better Ibra in place of Silviu (ahahahah...please, tell me is a coincidence!)
Ah...hopes that a meteorite falls on the head of his ML/R...so he has no substitution!

[Kylos]

Looking at ur squad, remove arrows on the 2 MC and 2 DC, red arrow on DMC and wing players...

Like Bubba said, don't use too much arrows. It is hardly a 4-5-1v like this.

bubba: Ibra is holder

4-5V-1 is my standard formation, and use it against the 4-4-2 when the opponent isn't overly strong.

I use a Blue defense arrow on the DMC and Red forward arrows on DL & DR. I run Attacking, Mixed, Own Half, Normal, Mixed or Long, Zonal, Off, Off.

[Silviu S]

Well, my opponent is strong, how about I use?

[sheva75]

I always use this formation to beat 442c : 3DC 3MC 1AMR (Red Arrow) 1AML (Red Arrow) 2ST
And the Order : Attacking,Down both flanks,Whole pitch,Normal,Short,Zona 1,No counter attacks,Yes Offside trap.

So far I'm always win with that formation, even my opponent strong than me.

Another option you can use 5-3-2 formation.

Good luck...
