I would only use arrows against teams with 3CBs and put red on fullbacks and wingers.
This formation is weak against narrow diamond so swap a striker for a DMC.
The good thing about 4-4-2 is orders can vary. Attack against weak teams, normal against equal and defend against strong teams.
What's your form with that?
So far in all pre-season games, and Cup games I have lost and went out in the first round loosing 4-1 then 2-1
Ok, you have a good squad there so try this
Attacking
Mixed
Low
Normal tackling
Mixed style
Zonal
No counter
No offside
If you find yourself losing, change to high press, hard tackling, arrows on wingers and fullbacks and play offside late in game.
Avoid 4-1-2-1-2 narrow formations, counter this by 4-5-1v
