How to counter 4-2-2-2 hexagon (?)

I'm not sure if he use 4-2-2-2 hexagon...but the opponent have this formation:

-------GK------
DR--DC--DC--DL
-----MC-MC----
AMR--------AML
-----ST--ST---

my idea to use 4-4-2 ... defensive and counter attack :)

Classic 4-4-2?

4-2-2-2


DL--DC-DC--DR
----MC-MC----
AML--------AMR
------ST--ST----
Some people however may change the MC-MC to a DMC-DMC, don't worry too much about this as it will not effect the formations provided and would enhance your ball possession.

The 3-2-2-2-1 Butterfly is no longer effective vs the 4-2-2-2 Hexagon

4-5-1V Motivated

-------------ST-----------
AML----------------AMR
-----MC--------MC-------
--------DMC(UP)--------
DL(UP)---DC---DC-----DR(UP)

The 4-5-1V Style Motivated is also another option to use against the 4-2-2-2 formation.

------DMC-----
DL-DC-DC-DR

Red arrow to DMC and AMC

I post this because I read on the forum and I didn't found the right solution against this formation and I had many problems when i faced with 4-2-2-2

Tested with normal mentality against opponent average 33.4 and mine 31.9...I won 4-0. (First match with this opponent I lost 2-0 and I played 4-5-1 V style) .Now I have 19 Win ,0 Draw ,1 Lost , he was the only one who beat me. The 4-2-2-2 was the only formation who created big problems for me and not only in this season.

Hope this will help all players with problems against 4-2-2-2

I lost 3-0 to a much weaker opponent when i played 4-1-2-1-2 ND
