Hi, I'm paying same formation 4,3,2w,1 I was playing 4,1,2,2,1 but seem rubbish suddenly problem is my dcm is really good young player. What positions do you have going forward? Thanks

In this season i played 2-3 matches vs diamond formations @cup ang @league and won them. But agree with 4-4-2, its doing magic right now.

Just like the real Borussia Dortmund, my team has been terrible in the league, but has been fantastic in the Champions League. As many of you know i use 4-5-1 v style, but in the league this season my 4-5-1 v style has been pathetic. Has anyone else been running into problems with 4-5-1 v style?

Have you kept your team updated!, have you tried changing formation in match play?

Still working well for me, although I find I use it more c-a now because I'm Q-leader less often.

Same problem here. I almost lost against a way weaker team using 4-5-1V. Switched to 3-5-2V and won 2-1.
4-5-1 V was my fav. formation in the early stages,but I think 3-5-2 is more useful.

As much as we all like favourite formations any formation can beat any formation! there is NO ONE guarantee formation!!!!, there are so many variables in each game that go towards how the game sever predicts results so if like RJSlow, you are are not getting the required results then its time to look at your squad, key areas, check the stats of the players to see who is under performing, you may need to rest some players!, you may need to change some!, try starting with a different formation then go back to 4-5-1!, Are you rotating your squad?, even when I used to have a full 22 man 50T team I still could not win the treble every season!, so ask yourself, am I playing the same team to much?. am I over training them?, are they getting to old?, am I giving them enough booster packs etc!.
Make a record of say 10-15 games ofYOUR TEAM, what you played and the orders you chose and those of the OPPOSING TEAM!, eventually you will get a rough guide as to what you need to change to play against any given formation.

I'll change 451V for 361. I haven't used 451V that much before, now I started and i think this was wrong time to start with it.
How it works? It doesn't work at all, complete disaster. For me it is myth about 451V as one of the best formation is broken. 451V is sh!t.
