4-5-1V vs 4-1-2-1-2

[Castreal]

Yup, 4-5-1V is not as reliable anymore It was an attempt with reference to July Fourth's deleted thread on counter formations + my understanding of counter formations.

But I believe its mainly due to system randomness, whereby a 1-2 star defender can easily block acttacks from 6 Star attackers, and 3-Star forwards have no problem getting pass 5 star defenders and scoring goals against 6 star keepers. I was stunned watching the whole match, its like the system had mixed up my player stats versus opponent's stats.

@Eugen Cristea: Gonna feel ****ty huh if u were beaten by that other 1-3 star team? My jaw dropped looking at how the opponent's 3 star forward scored 2 goals against my (one-on-One) 6 star Keeper, and the other by a 4-star midfielder. Seriously made me think "why the heck do I even buy tokens"

@dv8r: I wasn't expecting to win SOLELY because I had a counter formation, but mainly because I have 12.6 Quality on average more (that's easily 2 star difference) than the opponent, with my good players on field with Superb Morale and 99% Condition.

@Incredipede: Same here. Its weird.
