How to beat 4-4-2?

[Icekiddo]

Any formations to beat 4-4-2 other than 4-1-2-1-2?

[Lucas2321]

4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Diamond, 4-5-1 V-Style, 3-2-2-2-1 Butterfly

[Icekiddo]

Neither 4-5-1 v style nor 4-1-2-1-2 narrow diamond not working, i managed to have a draw match

[Tirtodimedjo]

4-4-2 hexagon, 4-2-3-1, 4-1-3W-2...

[Icekiddo]

orders?

[Tirtodimedjo]

play defensive, mixed focus passing, whole pitch, long passing, zonal marking, normal tackling, force counter attack.. and dont forget to put red arrow on your midfielders..

[hph404]

4-5-1 V is not working
I think 4-2-2-2 hexagon may be ok.

[hph404]

If I used 4-4-2 to fight against 4-4-2 is workable?

Use butterfly formation. 3N-2(DML,DMR)-2N-2(AML,AMR)-1. Attacking mentality, attack down both flanks, zonal marking, pressing own half, mixed passing, force counterattacks, no offside traps, normal tackling. Red arrows on AML,AMR, ST. Good luck.

[Mister M]

just played an away match against a 4-4-2 system. his average quality was 32,6 mine 32,3...

i decided to use a 4-5-1 V, red arrows on dmc, aml & amr...

mentality: normal
passing: mixed, through both flanks
pressing: own half
marking: zonal

+counter attack

i had about 55% ball possession and WON the game 2:4 (0:3), waisting several other chances while he really just had those 2 chances which he converted into his 2 goals...

cheers
