How to counter 4-2-2-2?

[Seangomes12]

Your main goal in countering this formation is
1)dominate possession in midfield by playing formations like4-5-1 v style,3-6-1,3-5-2etc.as he has only two central midfielders it will be tough for him to hold the ball

Whichever strong midfield formation u are choosing,go thru the middle.

If u r going down the flanks,which is another great option as the defenders are completely exposed due to lack of wingers,go for formations like 4-3n-2w-1 and 3-6-1 where ur wingers will be advanced and u will have more midfielders in central positions than the opposition

I think Ill go 4-5-1V. The guy is 7% stronger than me so it will be very tough. I've never played through the middle, but Ill give the a shot this time. Ill also go with short passing and No counterattacks. Its shame because my aml,amr are killers.

What about 4-2-3-1 with AMC? Through the middle, short passing?

I played 4-2-3-1 in the first game, mixed focus, mixed passing. I had more shots. 21-17 total, 4-7 on target. 4-2saves. 59-41possesion. 82-88% completed passing. He obviously played short passing. I might go with 4-2-3-1 with short passing through middle. I dont know if Ill be more exposed if I change DMC to AMC??
