How to Win Against Any Formation?

[elric78]

Hey, I have to beat 4-5-1 Flat.

I tried this:
4-5-1
I haven't faced 4-5-1 flat often, but when I did I used the formation 3-5-2.

3-5-2 against the 4-5-1 flat would be best used with long passing with zonal marking. Attacking tactics should be focused on long balls. This requires a forward with good pace and speed.

4-5-1 is similar to the 4-5-1 V Style... 3-5-2 is also effective against the V style.

but this don't work last time.

I see some matches were 4-4-2 was used, but I don't know the orders.

Any other Ideas how to beat 4-5-1 Flat????

I would like to get advise.

Cup Final Against 4-3-3 wide. He uses 3 DCs instead of a DL.

ST-ST-ST

ML----MC----MR

---DC-DC-DC-DR

I was thinking of these formations:
1. 4-5-1V -> (both flanks) or 4-1-3MC,MC,ML-1(AMR)-1 -> (right flank)
2. 4-4-2 narrow diamond

What do you suggest? The match is today.

I'll answer you only because it's a great match and I hope you won the trophy

If you saw the 1st page you will find this :
4-1-3-2 Wide
4-1-3-2 Wide 3

DL-DC-DC-DR
DMC
ML-MC-MR
ST-ST

Countered by 3-2-2-2-1

DC-DC-DC
DML(UP)-DMR(UP) (If using DL/DR as DML/DMR, remove the red arrows)
MC-MC
AML-AMR (Red arrows if AML/AMR also play as strikers and you want some extra punch)
ST

Short passing, through the flanks, attacking mentality, zonal marking,
pressing whole pitch with offside trap.
OR
Own Half, counter attack, defensive, mixed passing

Other formations known to beat 4-1-3-2 Wide 3:

3-1-4-2 and 3-1-4-1-1 using normal mentality, zonal marking, own half, short passing, normal tackling, no counterattack and no offside trap.

But the problem is that I have no AML/AMC/AMR...
And if I use 3-1-4-2 I won't be defending the flanks...
But thanks for answering btw =)
