I played 4 5 1 V and 1:1
add two cents in topic. counter for 3N-2(DML/DMR)-2-1-2 could be 4-1DMC-3W-2. i used it only once at away game. normal tracking, mixed passes, pressure on own half, red arrows on dl,dr,mr,ml. both managers were wathcing game (+5 for home team), but my team was a little better (39 vs 41). score 1-5, i won. stats for game - ball possession 45-55, shots 13-23, shots on target 14-7, and 3-7 for corners.
another tactic that never mentioned - 3N-DMR/DML-1MC-AMR/AML-2. i tried 3N-4-1-2. home game. my team was again little better (41vs38). normal tracking, mixed passes, pressure on full field. stas for game - ball possession 60-40 (he didn't show up), shots 15-13, on tagret 9-6, 7-2 for corners.
third tactic i found hard to counter - 4-2DMC-1-AMR/AML-1. almost same quality for both teams, 1/8 stagee of cup. home game was first, and i used 4-4-2, won 2-1, but second goal was at the end of match. normal tracking, mixed passes, pressure on full field. some stats - ball possession 54-46 (both managers was wathing geme, so i had 5% due to my stadium), shots 9-12, on target 5-5, 5-6 for corners. at away game i played 5-2MC-AMR/AML-1, normal tracking, long passes, pressure on own half, won 0-2. stats - 48-52 (+5 for him due stadium), stots 7-19, ot target 3-11, corners 6-4. so i find that 5-2-AMR/AML-1 more usefull that 4-4-2, and if you playing against that tactic, i'd recomend play this way.
and last hint, that i found wery helpful, if you playing against weaker team, that using 4-4-2. it could be easily beaten by 4-3W-1-2. normal tracking, mixed passes, pressure on full field, red arrows on dl,dr,mr,ml. if difference between to team more than 5-7, scores would be 6-0 or much bigger. it helps when goal difference could effect at final placece in league. for example once i beat some team 12-0 in the end of season, and it hepls me to get in champions league next season. sorry for bad english, hope my thought and experience will help someone
