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.
