need Best tactical order!

[Rene Du]

I'm playing a 4-1-2-2-1 now! (Picture)



What the best tactical order for this formation?

mentality: Offensive
pass focus: both flanks
pressing: own half
tackling: normal
passing style: mixed
coverage: man-to-man

Counters: On
Off-Side trap: off

Any improvements?

[Kibica]

-----ST-----
AML(?)-----AMR(?)
---MC--MC---
-----DMC-----
DL(?)-DC-DC-DR(?)

The ? means put attacking red arrow on that player

Use this orders as well:
Mentality: Normal
Passing style: Mixed
Focus passing: Down both flanks
Pressing: Own half
Force Counter attack: Yes
Offside trap: No
Marking: Zonal marking

tactical orders for that one?

I like playing the 4-5-1 V as well. It's difficult to pinpoint a best tactical order for this formation because its very flexible. It's effective both in defense and offense. The following are the orders I use.

Defensively: Defensive/normal, passing down the flanks, pressing own half, mixed passing, hard tackling, zonal marking, yes counter attack, no offside. Red arrows on DL/DR. Blue arrows on both MC's. DMC has be either a red or blue arrow whether you want to emphasize supporting the midfielders or back 4.

Offensively: normal/attacking, mixed passing, pressing whole pitch (if attacking) own half (normal), short passing, hard tackling, zonal marking, no counter, no offside. Red arrows on DL/DR, DMC, both MC's.

My question: Do AML/AMR benefit from red arrows? I think it means red attacks one position above normal position, while defending normal position; blue being defend one behind, while attacking from normal. Is this correct or not?

I spent lots of time thinking about this formation while ago. This formation is super with zonal mark indeed, however i only put red arrows on mr,ml and amc with attack mixed, passing mixed, own half, and no counter, no offside. Will try this on my sub acc soon!

Counter attack is worse than useless with an attacking mentality - in fact it will actually have a negative impact.
