By the way talisman, there are indications that 4-3N-2W-1 has been underpowered this season. I have tested it once only though, but so far, it seems to be weaker than expected. You may concede more goals than expected when using this formation. 4-2-2-2 Hexagon seems to be the reverse this season, that is overpowered and conceding less goals.
Those effects goes against the logic of football tactics though. Normally, 4-3N-2W-1 should be stronger defensively and also appear to dominate matches more as compared to 4-2-2-2 Hexagon. There is even a team using 4-2-2-2 Hexagon that has not lost in it's league (14W, 0D, 0L, 65GF, 7GA); those statistics are anomalous for a team using such a formation.
So, this adds to the fishy things going on in this game this season.
