When your playing an opponent that also plays 4-4-2, I have found the 4-1-2-1-2 narrow diamond is a good choice to play against 4-4-2, the 2 central midfielders in the 4-4-2 cannot deal with the 4 men diamond in the 4-1-2-1-2 narrow diamond. Might be a good idea to read through the "How to win against any formation" topic, but for most games I am at 4-4-2, simply because I have a much stronger XI than most of my opponents on the same level as me. My Quality is 93.8 vs most teams in Level 14 are less than 85.0
