If you look a my post, I was just saying that 4-5-1 V has always worked well for me, but I attend to struggle a bit against teams equal or better than me, in which I attend to only face in the cup. I have won 6 out of 6 leagues with 4-5-1 V, but I'm thinking of giving 3-1-2-3-1 a go this season. As in:-
GK
DC
DC
DC
DMC
MC
MC
AML
AMC
AMR
ST
Have you ever tried that? I have seen it a couple of times & they had also won their league and their cup & their team wasn't as good as mine. So I'm thinkin of giving it ago to try and have a better cup run.
I keep changing my formation, depends on my players perform, and the opponents formation,
but my favorites are 4-4-2, 4-5-1 flat and 3-5-2 flat. If the opponent has an AMC I would use a formation w/ a DMC..(4-1-4-1, 3-1-4-2 etc) :D
I'm not a fan of changing formations depending on my opponents. I like to stick to one for the season and keep it consistent and give my players regular games to improve their skills. I have been playing 4-5-1 V for 6 season & won all 6 titles & I think I've only lost a total of 7-8 games over the 6 league seasons.
My view is to find a tactic you like & stick to it... its worked for me, although I do fancy a change now, lol
I use this, very successful

not sure how working out later but last season #1 | 24W | 2D | 0L | 120 goal | 9 goal against, also won CL
+ can switch Hoyle / Fedan to create classic 4-1-2-1-2 if need
The deciding games were played with the 433 "total football" formation:) I think the "Catenaccio" formation including orders is my favorite:))
My win against lv5 manager is cup. he 5Q better then me + was away match :o
last cup i got kicked because of 1-1 and 0-0, enemy team much much much stronger and use 5-4-1, i using 4-3-3.
then switch to formation above and won everything :)
4-4-2 Hex has always worked well for me, as It's extremely flexible, and I usually swap an ST for DMC, turning into a 4-5-1V when more defensive tactics are needed.

You'll need good wingers to pull this formation off though.
