The formation I use to beat a 4-4-2 currently is either one or 2 formations, 1. 1-2-2-2-3.
2. 1-2-1-2-1-3. This stifles their formation, out of four games using these I have won 2 Drew 1 and lost 1. It scored 9 and conceded 5.

It is very good for over the top balls and counter attacks, I was all over the first place team who won a Quadruple this season, the game score was a 1-1 home draw, but that defence only conceded 7 goals in 26 matches and in that match they conceded 2 counter attacks and 3 through balls, we drew the game 1-1 and that was only because my players were retarded in front of goal we should have won 5-1 and put them to shame but a draw was still a good result considering they were stronger than us.

The Strengths of this formation

1. Very Good at exposing teams defensively and is a ruthless counter attacking formation.

2. Very Good at crossing.

3. My team scored 200 goals and about 60 of them came from ruthless through balls over the top of the opponents defence.

4. Is mostly very good at defending crosses and Corner Kicks.

5. You can score 200+ goals potentially in a season with this formation with the right players.


Weaknesses.

There are only a few weaknesses in this formation but this weakness could be fatal in huge games.

1. Can be prone to sudden counter attacks about 16 of my 32 goals I conceded this season have come from the opposition’s counter attacks.

2. Not as strong defensively as my previous formation (can’t remember what it was) my average goals Conceded this season was 0.61. Last season was 0.32. So this formation is a bit weaker on defence than my previous formation.


PS: This is just from my personal experience, this is my opinion and I think it is good also this formation may/may not work for you. Just a caution.
