Benjamin Andre Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I have only ever seen Brazilian league teams use it. What does it do? I can't imagine it. How do you get any width? Im talking about the one where the mids are both central mids. _ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyxx20 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 some italian teams play it in fm, lazio did in fm 10 anyway. i would expect it to be very slow tempo along with very narrow short passing, with possibly 2 complete forwards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnhughthom Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Well your width would have to come from the full backs, with two defensive minded midfielders to cover them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The width comes from the full/wing backs who push forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vector Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 In FM10 I used 4-2-2-2 wide with Fluminense (wide is when you place AMCs instead of CMs). And yes, it's very common in Brazil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Brazilian Ricardo Gomes is Barcelona manager on my game in 2028 and they are using a 4-2-2-2 and having a lot of success. Helps to have full backs with lots of pace and stamina in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you get any width?Im talking about the one where the mids are both central mids. _ Here's a couple of really good threads you might want to look at, from Tactics & Training: Brazilian Tactics Discussion Thread, by Uncle_Sam Uncle Sam's Brazilian 4-4-2 (4-2-2-2) *not a plug-and-play* tactics set, by Uncle_Sam There's probably about as much detail explaining the Brazilian 4-2-2-2 as you could ever hope for there. Might be worth you adding Uncle_Sam as a "friend" in your forum profile options too, as he usually does a 4-2-2-2 Brazilian thread with each release of FM. I've yet to see anyone present more detail and information about the system on these forums. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenco Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I've seen a couple of teams play this formation against me, most recently Man City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
