The best formation against 4-4-2

[singaboy]

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

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

I would also friend the classic 4-4-2 with defensive attack against the long pass, MC + arrows up and down arrows MC DR + DL hug from Brazil

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

4-3-2-1 and 4-5-1 V style are the best against 4-4-2

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 ****
