According to your experience what would be the best formation against 4-4-2 classic? And what orders do you usually use?
Butterfly for me.. Normal/attacking, down both flanks. The rest is depending on my mentality but usually full pitch, short passing and offside trap. That's just me though
for me its 4-5-1 V . attacking , down both flank .and all default. up arrow on DL and DR , up arrow on AMR n AML
Thank for your comment. Yesterday I played against weaker team about 5 quality point. It was an away Champ game, he present + his friend + full home supporter, however the total possession for the match is quite even his 49% and I got 51%.
I use butterfly, normal but switch to attack after the 1st half, down both flank, pressing own half, short pass, no offside. I dont know what I did wrong but I lost 1-0 at min 14' and cannot score even 1 goal.
Even though in the second half abou 60' I change to Narrow Diamond 4-1-2-1-2 attack, through middle. However it was useless.
The home game is tomorrow I dont know if I should use butterfly again since it was not working? Or might as well use 4-4-2 just like him to see what happen. Anyone please advice thanks
4-3-2-1 and 4-5-1 V style are the best against 4-4-2
i use always 4141 and work with me!!
this counter formations is pretty much one big ****, i tried 451 against 442 several times, opponent also had two players on wrong position, and also 4 points weaker then me, so how it finished, simply, double shots for him, i lost 1:0, and i can for sure say that this game is one big ****ing ****
4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Diamond is working very well for me against the classic 4-4-2.
Red Arrow on the DMC, attacking, full pitch, short passing.
3-2-2-2-1
----DC-DC-DC----(center: down)
DML----------DMR
----MC-----MC----
AML----------AMR(up-up)
--------ST---------
attack, flanks,own pressing, short, force counter
hi koiila,
Indeed, 3-2-2-2-1 is couter formation against 4-4-2. However for some reason it do not work in my case for the first leg since I lost 1-0. I dont think I will risk it for the second leg.
This time I am thinking Narrow Diamond with 2 strikers, through middle, attack, hard, short pass I hope i can get more goals.
BTW, you are attacking why do you for counter my friend. I though counter is only for defensive/ultra defensive or at least normal. Please explain thanks
I keep the DL and DR without red arrows just in case his ML and MR have red arrows and to double block his ST's with 2 defenders DL+DC / DC+DR.
I'm attacking through the middle.
I'm cofused if you mean tackling mentality with "Hard mental" if so then yeah, i'm using hard tackling only when i'm playing home against same QL Teams or stronger ones than me and in the away matches normal tackling. You get way too many cards if you play hard tackling away.
FYI,
Narrow Diamond 4-1-2-1-2 work great against 4-4-2 classic. First leg I lost 1-0, second leg I won by 6-1. Thank you for all of your help and comment. Cheers
I prefer to use 4-4-2.
Is a 3-1-4-2 good enough?
i played today in cup match vs 4-4-2 and here is my result :
Attachment 4290
what oders u make to counter this.. need win in champs league..
i mean u win 6-1..
I used 4-1-4-1 against 4-4-2 today evenly matched teams and lost 2 nil
I personally think if you have the better quality than your opponent by at least 5, then you can use 4-4-2 to match your opponent, as you are likely to outplay them
before 2 days i win with the person who was the first in league, he use 442, i used 4 -1DMC-2MCs-1(AML or AMR)-2. i used AML bcs he had a weak DR
My last game was 2 days ago and I ended up copying 4-4-2 formation and won 1-3 away game!
I was suprised because I could not assist game, totally forgot about it!
Today I have home game and I will play again the same formation... last time I played long ball and center attacking and worked great!
