How to beat 4-4-2 and 4-1-3-2 plz

[talisman]

4-5-1v defensive

OP said he doesn't have AML/AMR - so any V formation is out...

3N-4-1-2 for the 4-4-2 Classic. EDIT: no AMC - damnit... 3N-4-3? 5-3-2?

The 1 MC formation is a weird one, I would be tempted to pack defence and use something like 3N-2(DML/DMR)-3N-2 or 3W-2(DMC)-3W-2, but if OP hasn't got AM or DM players then options are limited.

If OP could post a screenshot of his squad, then we could help further...
