Yeah, i'm kinda in favor of V-style play... But, since you all noticed, it came to my attention too

first league match I played against 20 points weaker opponent playing narrow diamond.
It wasn't my best team playing the 3-5-2V, but still he had more chances than me to score a goal.
It was away match for me so the stats were 16:21(8:6 on goal shots)... and the final score was 1:3 for me, but still, it should have been much higher since I had 72% possesion and a much better team playing counter tactics.
I thought that 3 dc could stop his 1 star sts, but i was wrong

My conclusion, 4-5-1V works much better if opponent have 2 strikers. I won much more games playing 4-5-1 with normal or attacking mentality than 3-5-2... it's just mind boggling how can more cautious formation be more productive against that much weaker opponents... o.O
