How to counter 4-4-2

[shwanko07]

as I said, I'll post the result here, its my game result



my setting using 4-5-1v form is normal mentality, both flanks, press own half, normal tackling, with counter attack

ok .. played 4-1-4-1 vs 442 with same quality team .. i win 6-0 and he was watching.. next match lost 2-3 facing another team same quality who didn't watch .. explain that to me? this game has no logic at times

for me, reward is just a waste....

highly disagree mate .. big huge difference for me .. i noticed that most silly match i drop points are those i don't put much bonus

yeah, sometime this game engine is really suck...I dunno for sure what makes u lost for the second match but maybe your oppnent has better strategy order or it could be your player morale and condition was low at the time

Won against my main competition that plays 4-4-2 today, used the narrow diamond. 5-0. Almost same level of quality.

ppl are talking about formation as if it is so important,.... i think 65 % of result is squad quality,.. and 25% is luck and may be 5% for formation assuming u dont play with a crab formation,..... assuming condition and morale etc ,.. are the same

Hello everyone .. i have a game tonight .. after 4 hours .. my AMC is injured, so i cannot use the normal narrow diamond 4-1-2-1-2
so i thought of a 4-1-3-2 to counter a team with 4-4-2 formation, same quality
here is what i made
Will it work ? thanks in advance


as you might've noticed ... i have a 4 stars AML .. but this doesn't make sense if i am going to focus on mid ...


Oh.. and it's an away game

[kaelsux]

ok .. seems that no one will reply on time .. so anyway, am gonna go for the same formation and change only the mentality to normal incase i get a negative result..... depends on the outcome ... anyway will report my experience after the match ..

I just played a slightly better 4-4-2 team using the same. I won 3-2 (1st leg) but thinking of switching to a defensive formation for the away game, would 5-3-2 work?

about the 5-3-2 .. am against playing with 5 defenders .. but that's just me ... i would go for a 3-2-2-2-1 butterfly

i played my game with 4-1-3-2 as shown before .. had double the shots on target .. won 0-1 though ... he had a nearly empty stadium and didnt watch the match .. so i had 7% bonus possession ...
i think my tactic wasn't good enough .. or i wasn't that lucky in that match .. anyway am gonna try a different tactic next time .. Suggestions anyone ?
