AI always use the 4-2-4 formation when they are left behind. And problem is top tier clubs like Arsenal could always find 4 world class striker and therefore make lot of trouble in last 5 mins.

At moment, I am trying to pull defense line deep and make full backs always stay back to fight against the 4-2-4, however, there'are still lots of accidents...

Do you guys got good idea to get rid of the 4-2-4 quick and wide tactic?

This occurs mostly 90+ minutes. I use 4-4-2 tactics with wide normally. And if opps change to 4-2-4, I take my DR and DL man marking with FL and FR respectively. Tempo is very slow, time wasting is often works well for me. I don't change any other things. No defensive line changes and no mentality.

In theory... offside trap.

I agree with dreamsay. I dreaded the 4-2-4 until i tried man marking the FL/FR with your fullbacks, increase time wasting, click counter attack. Of course some times so good teams will still break you down, but it works quite well.
