Champions league final:

I also played against a similar level team that played 4-4-2.

My team:
Formation: 4-5-1 (V) = GK - DL,DC,DC,DR - DMC - MC,MC - AML,AMR - ST
Arrows: DL↑, DR↑
Team Mentality: Hard Attacking
Focus Passing: Down both flanks
Pressing Style: Whole pitch
Tackling Style: Hard
Passing Style: Mixed
Marking Style: Zone
Force counterattacks: NO
Play offside trap: NO

After I scored I switched to Normal mentality with counterattacks, and he switched to 3-5-2 (Flat) and immediately scored back for 1-1. I switched back to Hard Attacking with no counterattacks, I scored for 2-1 and switched my formation to 4-1-4-1 with hard defending 25 minutes before the final whistle.

I won 2-1.
