hi, im currently managing ipswich and the USA. after managing in the world cup i noticed that France where playing this 4-2-2-2 formation. it looked and interesting tactic to try out, has anyone else tried it out and had any success with it, did you have and problems with the space in the middle of the park?

Played for Celtic for 4 seasons with a similar 4-2-2-2 tactic playing with 2 MC, AML, AMR and had great success. Won the league convincingly all 4 seasons and each year getting better in the Champions league. Do a search of my name for posts and you should find a screenshot somewhere.

ive just took a look at it. i like my wingers to create the goals and put a fair few away as well (id be happy with 5-10 a season tbh), but in a flat 4-4-2 even with arrows i wasn't getting enough players up top, there for most chance where long shots by my strikers leading to lots off shots off target, but i was keeping clean sheets.

i then went to a 4-1-2-1-2 (4-4-2Dimond) but my amc just doesnt do enough. hes gets the odd assist and the odd goal but hes usually stays in the gap and doesnt get foward often enough.

in the 4-2-2-2 formation what do you midfields do, are they sort of box-to-box players defending and attacting at the right times?
also how did you do on clean sheets.
