Thanks very much for the advice.

I'm not sure I have the requisite players to fill out the midfield, ie I only have two MCs. I have two pretty good MRs though, so could stick one at MC for one match I suppose?

Would a 4-4-2 classic work as well as 4-5-1? I read on another forum it might.

And lastly (apologies for the plethora of questions and lack of knowledge!), what does the 'v' stand for in the 4-5-1? Just that 4 defenders, 5 midfielders and 1 striker resemble a V?

Thanks again.
