I only use a few formations. 4-4-2 being one, and often switch mid-game to 4-3-1-2 I sometimes use the ND, as it seemed to be effective for others.

It's as much to do with your orders though, I have also beaten every formation thrown at me at some point ot other, and I have seen them all.

I use mixed attacking, zonal, own half only and force counters.
