Much difficult to beat 4-4-2c !!!!!! help needed.....plz.

[Atletico Madrid(ATM)]

First few seasoN (From 1-4level) i have played with 4-4-2c. But since i changed my formation and this 4-4-2c like a nightmare to me(except low quality 4-4-2c). i used 4-5-1v , 4-3n-1-2 , 4-1-2-1-2ND , 4-2n-2w-2 hexagon . But always i get lost/drawn (with few times win).

I m now at lvl 17 . But result is always same.

I hv seen matches of other managers using 4-4-1-1, 4-1-3n-2 , 4-3w-1-2, 4-1-3w-2, 4-1-2n-3 . Every time 4-4-2c dominates and win ( in rare cases it loses and that is exceptional ).

i am a fan of 4-5-1v and am not a token buyer/token farmer. My achievement is pretty good.

i dont want to use 4-4-2c . Plz help me to counter against this formation and suggest COUNTER ARROWS AND TACTICS also.

no, you are vulnerable from his flanks !

I won lately with a 4-5-1 V but it's also a matter of day or form of the players

u suggest the formation like=
3dc-2dmc-2ml/mr-2amc-1st?

[ElTerrible]

Yes.Arrowhead formation

[pcmacdaniel]

4-4-2 classic is the most balanced formation in the game, hence the most difficult formation to counter. I'm not sure a hard counter for it exists.

I'd recommend identifying what formation your players have the best form in, then determine whether or not 4-4-2 classic is a natural counter to that formation. If not, then play that.

bro i hv tried this formation and i didn't get a win . May b my bad luck!!!

[Atletico Madrid(ATM)]

seems like something good fomation with "attacking mentality" can beat this . because i tried many times "defensive mentality" with COUNTER ATTACK . IT always get me lose/draw .
Then i tried NORMAL MENTALITY but it also get me a draw.

May b attacking mentality against 4-4-2c should do the work.

But from yesterday to today i have seen near about 40-50 matches of 4-4-2 of other manager from different level. Most horrifying fact is it won(80% cases) ,get drawn(15% cases when opposite team is stronger ) and get lost(5% cases which is depend on GOD).

those 5% cases against team using 4-3n-2w-1 and 3w-5-2flat.

tomorrow is my 2nd league cup match away . 1st leg i get drawn 3-3 at home against 4-4-2c where i used 4-1-2-1-2ND . i cant experiment on tomorrow match.

so what should i do guys?
