i love people who post 'my mate played 442 with 15% possession bonus and still didnt win' like 442 is the holy grail of formations or something. I think 442 sucks and i've probably played most of the more standard formations you can play in this game during my 6 months and i won't ever go near 442 again, i think its just too exploitable.

People moan loads when they cant beat inactive teams or guys who dont ever turn up to games, well playing a flat 442 isnt gonna get you too far playing against proper thinking managers who dont just have one way of playing. When you cant beat bots and play a system every decent manager knows how to exploit, you really do need to come up with plan B or start playing another game, so to sum up... tactics are important!
