Went straight 4-4-2 (Blue arrows dc's red on dl, dr ml, mr,) 4-0 up on 52 mins changed to 3-5-2 as most say go with. (blue on DC's, kept red on MR/ML. Finished 6-0, but 4 goals second half).
Mentality normal, passing mixed, pressing -own half, tackling hard, passing style mixed, marking zonal, force counters. 0-6 away from home I was happy.

That formation seems to beat me almost all the time. Moreover, it equals/dominates me during matches, even when my team, quality is higher significantly.

Can someone refer me to a counter formation against this devilish 4-4-2 wide (and weird) diamond formation? I must win!!

Team Info:
Orders: Attacking mentality, Mixed passing down both flanks(devastating wingers), tackling whatever, pressing own half with counter attacks (which dies not seem to profit much rather than fatigue). Zonal marking of course
Arrows: AML/AMR both UP
