Nope... It doesn't look like a tree

It doesn't look like it to me neither but I've seen it being called Christmas tree, lol.

This formation is really good, i should think about use it myself, good defense as the dmr n dml cover the flanks, and up look strong too, i would go with long passing, n through the middle as his centre of the pitch has a gap with long passing u bypass the 2 cm and face his 3 defender cause no dmc, good luck

[RJSlow]

Both those formations can be called christmas tree. As there is no official body that controls formation naming, you can call it whatever you want

[Buffs Mad]

I'd call it the upside down scarf.

Sorry I'm no help here.

3-5-2 would work better i guess :P ya
i just won my 1st preliminary against a christmas tree formation with 10:0 using 4-5-1 V style but it was messed up team and i had 80:20 possesion so it may not work against a team with decent line up

[Emiron Josepha]

Well RJSlow i followed your suggestion by going with 3-5-2 and because i feel more comfortable with two strikers then 1! Also got a red card #lol
The result is here:





I played normal, but in the second half i put attacking on and then both goals came and also when i put red arrow on my midfielders as wel
