4-5-1 V style counter for 4-4-2 ?

[Kylos]

The above screenshot was opponents in the league, not mine... Though I did lose to him yesterday 3-2 (with 4-5-1v)

[Bubba]

Here's my contribution, played defensive way, with counter on and long passing. Also he's 8 quality points higher than me.



Oh...and i forgot to say..i haven't got wings! Played with two ST's as them!

The following are my three favorite approaches against the 4-4-2 classic.

1. Mirror it
2. 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Diamond.
3. 4-1-2-1-2 Wide Diamond or 4-3w-1-2. This setup is if I suspect they're better offensive threats are on the flanks, or are passing down the flanks

As for formations of note,

Someone in my league has won three straight against either 4-4-2 classic or 4-2-2-2 hexagon with the 4-3w-2n-1 X-Mas tree. Among these wins, was a 2:1 win against a token buyer running 4-4-2 classic.

Very nice! Thanks

I'm giving this a go today (451 V, flanks , defensive, mixed, hard tackle, zonal marking) will let you know how I get on!

[Kylos]

Still prefer long passing when counter attacking in on. Rather use mixed passing and turn off counter...

Won 2-0! flanks counter on defensive against top of the league . Red arrows on aml amr only. I would do long passing but the risk is you give the ball away more
