3n-1-3w-1-2 have been working very well for me..through the middle..

I guess it depends on the strenght of the enemy team.

If they are much better and will probably have more possession, I'd might go for this:



If your similar or better for something like that:




Good luck, hope that helps.

Hi
I'm faicing 4-5-1 tomorrow in a cup.
I'm batter than him. I was thinking more about 3-4-1-2 or 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 flat as you've suggested but what orders in that formation (Attack from middle and sides to defend his wingers?)

Beat fire with fire. If your Q is better, u too play 4-5-1 flat. if not, then 4-1-3N-1-1 can be tried with defensive, passing through the middle, zonal marking, mixed passes(even long, doesn't matter), pressing whole pitch(to make possession). No counter or offside trap. AMC, ST, DL, DR on red arrows, DMC on blue. If losing, place MCs on red arrows or let them be as it is.

Thanks!
The game is within an hour so we will see. I'm got a better team but to be honest I'm thinking mostly about 4-4-1-1. What's your opinion about that?

3W-1-4-1-1 is even better. You don't really need 4 in the back for this one.

Ok so let's go with it. Thanks!
Middle attack (the whole midfield I would like to stay put to win the battle for a ball so no red arrows on wingers) the rest on normal?

Red arrows on DMC/AMC. No arrows on the others, since you're attacking through the middle. Normal (or attacking) mentality, and default for the rest.

You can put a blue arrow on the DC, if the opponent ST gets too active. Or if he's faster (more Speed) than your DC.
