Greetings from Antalya, Turkey 
As I've been a big supporter of 4-5-1 formation, I decided to try a 4-4-2 formation this year and satisfied with the results.
First of all I'd like to talk about the formation. As you know there is a big tradition in basketball, "Offense Wins Games; Defense Wins Championships". I'm not gonna promise you more than three goals in each match, but I will promise you the trophies.
Formation
Let's talk about the instructions.
Defensive Midfielder: The player who interrups opposition attacks and starts our attack. He must be strong, good at tackling and his work rate should be high. It will be good if he is a tall player. Take a look at tall players when signing for this position. (Like Busquets, Fellaini, Kuzmanovic)
Midfielder: Heart of the team. He should be able to play in box to box role . It means that this player must can both play defense or offense. He should be fast, his work rate, first touch, passing and technique should be high.
Right Midfielder: The player who is more capable of defensive options must play here. He should use his right foot.
Left winger: One of the key players in the formation. More offensive than the other wing. It would be better for him to use his right foot because we want him to cut inside. (Like Stoch, Nani, Pedro, Quaresma) Howewer you can use a player who uses his left foot (Like Malouda)
Forward: The player on left in the formation. He will come deep to get ball, move ball to the flanks and create his own positions. You should look for fast, strong players and their finishing and technique should be high.
Striker: Target man. His strength, finishing and heading must be high. He would be a good poacher if his pace will be high.
Hope you enjoy my tactic.
