Yeah...4-4-2 is hard to beat with any formation as there is no effective counter for it.

Im leading my league using 4-1-2-1-2 ND this season and yesterday lost @ home 0-3 against a weaker 4-1-3W-2.

Every month there's an update to the game. I believe they (un)balance teams so they can keep the game unpredictable. What fun would it be if you could win just by following the charts?
