Best orders for 4-4-2?

That is correct, it's best to use short passing with formations without DM or AM players. And for 4-4-2, you should be using down both flanks with it as well.

Hi dv8r, I often agree with you on most things but do you have any experience/knowledge to support this?

I play the 4-5-1V with short passing and I always get above 80% passes completed.

Flat formations are best used with the short passing, I don't understand why but it does work for me. For me, short passing for 4-5-1 v does not work as effectively as mixed passing. A former user, Adel Gamal also said the same thing and justified his reasons for saying it but the thread is gone now so I can't retrieve it.

I assumed short passing wouldn't work with teams using 4-3-3, 4-5-1 flat, 4-4-2 because there is no link between DC and CM and ST.

I just go by his judgement because he's very experienced. I have tested short passing with attacking tactics involving AML/AMR and the passes are usually cut out, change to mixed and we scored more.

Ohhhhh, I don't play attacking unless I need a goal. When I go attacking, I change to mixed to pick up the tempo

I like to play attacking, it's my style... Hardly ever normal these days, although I might use that for the CL final should I get there
