How to beat overpowered 4-4-2
As the leader of my league (110%) i had to play an away match vs the second place (91%) using his bull**** 4-4-2 (lost 0:2 at home to him)
As i was the better team, i decided to use 4-4-2 as well, starting defensive, long balls through the middle and counters on. Then i activated 12% ofensive bonus.
Game started, first shot - oponent scored 1:0, second shot 2:0, third shot hit the goal post, 4th was saved by my goalie. All within the first 30 minutes.
So i changed in minute 40 to a 3n-4-1-2, still long balls through the middle, counter off, but now playing ofensive tactic with 12% defense bonus avtivated.
Between min 50 and 75 i scored 4 times and at the end won by 5:2.
Hope that helps other who are also pissed by this 4-4-2

442nd counter formation
After in-numerous matches with very strong opponents (same q or a bit higher) the counter formation I have used with 0% loses, 5% draw, 95% wins

3DC-1DMC-2MC-3AMw-1
3DC-1DMC , arrows down
2AMw , arrow up

Attacking, from flanks, mixed, counter on
Low (High during the game), normal tackle, zonal, offside off.

At time you sense that oppo turns to attacking style and presses high, switch to defensive mentality without changing anything else.

Surely if you have the best quality team the opposition should have to counter you?

You mean 4-1-2n(mc)-3(st)? It's just a variation of ND.
Use 3n-1-3n-2w-1 or 3n-2n-2n-2w-1 against it.

I am facing awfully lot of this formation nowadays. What is the best counter & orders for it? I tend to play 4-1-4-1 and 4-4-2.



Thanks in advance for all your replies.
