Champions League Help

My favorite formation (at least starting with) is 4-5-1 V but it failed many times vs the 4-4-2 classic.
my thought is that 4-5-1V or 4-4-2 ND looks like they can be good counters vs 4-4-2 but in every game there is a logic of the rock- paper- scissors.
You don't know if in this present match, you 'll be the rock and 4-4-2 will be the paper or the scissors.

Today I had the 2nd leg in my semi CH.L. vs a team using 4-4-2.
After a fail (0-2 at home) in the 1st leg (using 4-5-1V) and having about 1/2 * better quality, today I used also 4-4-2.
Well, it worked and I passed.
I was lucky as oppo manager wasn't attending.
Anyway, the most important thing I believe vs 4-4-2 is the good coaching ("read" the game and make the right moves).
