Why always 4-4-2 classic???

[cracicot]

This morning I just play CL against classic 4-4-2. This guy is also in my League, right behind me. He always play 4-4-2, he is token buyer and never present at the game.

I play counter formation 4-5-1V home game I won 1-0. Yesterday, away I play 3-2-2-2-1 butterfly also counter 4-4-2 and I lost 1-0 even though my team is much stronger and I present at the game at 4:33am (damn it). Luckily the penalty shoot out I won by marginal 5-4 if not I would be very piss off.

Thus 4-4-2 is still a damn strong formation and even counter formation cannot always win. I think that counter formation is not working any more or at least not as much as it used to be. So be yourself !

Maybe you should have tried the best counter for 4-4-2: 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Diamond. You probably would have kicked @ss in both games with this formation.

don't bet your money on it. what if he has quality wingers motivated and he focus passing down the flanks? it's 50-50

You are so right about my team. I have very good wingers and focus passing down the flanks especially on the right where the opponent's defender is only 3 stars while my AMR is 5 stars. I also motivated red arrow on my AMR, he was very active during the match however so many miss chances therefore I lost 1-0.

Are you sure 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Diamond is much better against 4-4-2 classic compare to 4-5-1V and 3-2-2-2-1 Butterfly?

i never play narrow diamond. never. it's too risky and i don't take risks. both 4-5-1 v and butterfly are good against classic 4-4-2 but i believe that 4-3w-1-2 with motivated wingers and the amc is superior.
