I got quite an exact scenario with you bro.. I played 4-5 1 V style with offensive mind placing red on wings amc but a 4-4-2 average quality with 0% extra possession scored 1st and for the rest of the game I stay the same formation and score ended up 3-2 with him leading 3-1 all the way.. I would say 4-4-2 plays very well against a V style Offensive type formation but haven't try using a V style blue arrows formation .. maybe i should try it and see the results
