I watched the match, basically the goals that Barcelona were scored came from a counter attack and a double corner so it was very unfortunate. At the start, July Fourth had a bunch of opportunities to score but they kept missing from 1 vs 1 chances. All of Petersen's corners were headed out...it was more of a troll result really. Formation shouldn't really matter considering the quality gap.

I see, but you know alot of us are having trouble with 442!

Troll result from a troll team, they have given me trouble in all 4 games I played them this season.

Damn, so that is 2 troll results against them but what concerns me not only the q diff but the lack of shots on target, is this a new bug?

[reddeviljohn]

This was my Cl leg against a 4-4-2 user with slightly lower Quality (59 vs 54 with several 1* benchers), and the butterfly worked good. Same for ND so far in the season. But still, did he score on counters?

Could you see this working against higher Q?

My issue with the butterfly is that a lot of the players are just dotted around the pitch, leaving free space to exploit. I'd be happy to test your orders with this formation and see if it does well for me. But 4-1-4-1 is what I use now after having 3 seasons of disappointment with the butterfly.

Actually... tell you i am playing against the butterfly tonight in a dead rubber CL match. I will use the 4-4-2 classic and see if he gets anything on me.

I experienced it too a lot in the first part of the season. like the team is going through a lack of concentration/form overall. If you noticed this season, even easy wins against mediocre opponents and illegal formation has the opponent's shoot counter high no matter what dominance you apply. In the past seasons i even ended matches with 0/0 from the opponents, but this seems to have been changed.

League round 15

What a terrible result. We missed so many chances. Defense and goalkeeper from opponent were good in this match. Started with 4-1-4-1 and scored quick. But after that we couldn't score any goal. In 73' we switched to 4-3-2-1 with no succes. Couldn't score any goal. Goalkeeper from opponent saved 2 freekicks. But after this result we are glad we have the victory. We are most succes against 4-3n-3 with 3n-3n-2-2.

CL 1/8 final match 2

Both managers were present and opponent manager had 1 supporter. We have chosen for the formation 3n-3n-2-2 and it was a good choice. This formation we play better than 4-1-4-1 and 4-3-2-1 against 4-3-3. It was a good game for us but also a though game. We are trough the next round.

I played with red arrows on AML/AMR and central DC to act as sweeper (he is dc/dmc), Normal mentality, whole pitch, mixed focus, mixed passing, normal tackle, zone marking.

6 of my 11 main players were on bench. Overall i played with 5 scouts and 6 5* benchers. Minimum prize for cl match, and the 5 scouts already played the League match 3 hours before.

EDIT: since i play with red arrowed DC as sweeper, he's my top assister.

My problem is my 2 best players are AML & AMR so to play 4-1-4-1 with them I can only give them blue arrows so don't know if that is costing me using that formation against 442 or if I should put in weaker q players and play them as ML & MR if you know what I mean
