4-5-1v is also my primary formation now. However, when my team face 4-4-2, I usually use a MC to replace the DMC. Actually, I only use a DMC if opponent have a AMC in place.Quote:

But I still think both 4-4-2 and 4-5-1v are best formation for inactive teams.
I have always conceded first against 4-4-2, so swap the generally poor form DMC for an ST. Yes, the ST scores. I guess I'll now have to start with my previously favorite hexagon against 4-4-2Quote:

I have one rival in the league who played with 4-4-2, and literally won all the home games, he beat me 2-1 and it was the only loss I had in the league, even though I dominated the game with 4-5-1V, but then the way game I challenged myself and thought I will still play with the same formation as the first game except with the right tactics, and I played on his weak points, and I won 4-2, now me and him are on top of the league with only 1 game lost and I am on top with goal difference.
So I would say 4-4-2 is really overpowered but you can still win over it.

for myself against the 4-4-2 formation i either go 4-1-4-1 or 4-5-1v which is best as its so versatile with a couple of arrows .for your game id go 4-5-1 defensive with long and counter on,flanks,low pressure blue arrow on Dmc red on your wingers AML/AMR like i have my team set up below,i hope this helps

4-4-2 its very good with the right players, and as narrow diamond can surprise any team strong, but its not the best formation, I still think counter formation and right orders are the best, that's how I play for few seasons and so far it had been very successful.
I always believe 4-5-1v is the formation which places players most evenly in the field. However, after implementation of live matches, I believe that midfield have become more important area because the ball now really always passes through it. As there are 4 midfielders in 4-4-2, I prefer to push up a the DMC to MC to enhance control of midfield. As such, my formation changes from 4-5-1v to 4-3-2(AMR/AML)-1 in this situation. I am not sure if this theory is correct. But my 2 teams are really hot recently with these strategies that except 1 loss and 1 draw of my L23 team, they won all matches in all competitions.Quote:

Now 4-1-3n-2 has weak (virtually no) wings and my fullbacks can run into the space, paired up with my wingers they'll destroy the opponent. That's why I tend to keep the fullbacks more or less balanced.Quote:
