4-4-2 B as title contender
-
I signed with Burnley (16th place target) and I started the season with a 5-4-1 B counter formation, turning to 4-4-2B Passing Game after building my squad to a mid tier team. But after transfer madness my squad's worth became by far the strongest and I took the lead of the competition.
But then I started wasting points left and right by getting a few 0-0s and I was wondering whether 4-4-2 B is not attacking enough for a top tier squad? So I started playing super offensive style around 95-85-90 but still I don't create as many chances as the other good teams playing 4-3-3s.
Is it okay to play 4-4-2B very offensively (in the beginning I played defensively and later more neutral)? I even let my midfielders infiltrate deep and it's not a problem for my defense. It's just that I create 11-15 chances every game whereas my competitors create 14-20 with squads that are 3x less worth, therefore they don't draw against weaker teams ever.
Shoud I have evolved to a more agressive formation? Now it is a bit hard because I have only 4 Strikers no wingers and I'm a bit loath to put players in unideal positions.
What do you think?

I have a similar situation. 4-4-2 B worked well as a mid pack value team however when my team became the most expansive I start having difficulties winning easy games. Doesn't look to me that this strategy works the best in this type of situations. I would say - and this is just my opinion - that 4-3-3 A or B are better choices in these circ

if you are wanting to attack, make sure your pressing, style, tempo and tackling should be in a attacking and aggresive

Yes, thank you, I have been doing this. It seems playing even ultra attacking just doesn't seem to be enough on 4-4-2 b to guarantee goals. Thanks to transfer madness, I managed to buy a much needed extra forward. I've even been playing 3-4-3 because my team rating is 115 and many teams are only 80-90.

Thank you. I've been trying this and even put all sliders to 100 in practice games and 90s against computer teams but it still feels lacking.
