The other thing is that after 1,5 year you joined the forum you had only 1 post/question.
I don't know how many questions/post I have so far ... maybe over 200.
Anyway, my style of playing is
4-4-2 against a team, I start with normal mentality, if oppo has 2 (and maybe good ST) I set 2 blue arrows in my DC. If oppo has weaker DL & DR (or none, using only 3DC) I put my MR & ML red arrows and set down both flanks. No other arrows. If my oppo is stronger I use def. mentality and counter attacks.
If I am behind the score or want to have a big domination score, I set attack, full pitch and if desperate hard attack & hard tackling.
If my oppo has 2 ST and 1 AMC (OR 3ST) I don't use 4-4-2. I enforce more my defense.
Also I use 4-5-1 V, it's one of the most successful formations for facing stronger teams. I use it with def. mentality, both flanks and counter attacks. Still blue arrows in my DC and red arrows in my AML-AMR.
