Unfortunately, a hard counter to the 4-4-2 classic doesn't exist. The 4-4-2 is the ultimate generalist formation, the most balanced formation in this game. Its ability to pass through the flanks or through the middle and change its focused passing w/o making substitutions or changing a players position makes it extremely adaptable. There isn't a universal counter, but their are formations that sometimes do well against the 4-4-2, such as the 4-5-1 V, 3n-4-1-2, 4-3n-1-2, 4-3w-1-2 etc... (some seasons Nordeus might tweak the game engine to favor some formations against this goliath formation, so checking how other formation do against 4-4-2 is a wise idea too).

I recommend looking at your opponents players form and see where the weaker form guys are and attack those players and/or focusing the passing through your better players, then cross your fingers and hope for the best. Maybe their quality can also be used to gage what their orders are.
