4-4-2

[pcmacdaniel]

Truthfully, 4-4-2 classic is the most balanced formation in Top Eleven which makes it arguably the most difficult formation to beat. A strong 4-4-2 can make life difficult for any formation.

There are some formations that at times do fare well against 4-4-2 classic; such as 4-5-1 V-style (as mentioned above), 4-1-2-1-2 ND, 3n-2w-2n-2w-1 (butterfly) and 3n-4-1-2. Their may be a few others as well.

To best address the matchup, look at your opponents rosters and see if you can identify any poor performers. For example, midfielders (MC's and DMC's) routinely are amongst the poorest players in this game (poor ratings). If your opponent has a few players that average well below a "7" rating at these positions, attacking through the middle with a narrow diamond or something similar is highly recommended.

I usually either play the diamond or mirror the 4-4-2!!!
