4-5-1 V-Style: Keeping it simple is the best choice :)
Hi,
A couple of days ago I started playing in 4-5-1 V-Style formation with no arrows and the following instructions:
Team Mentality: Normal
Focus Passing: Mixed
Pressing Style: Low
Tackling Style: Normal
Passing Style: Mixed
Marking Style: Zonal
No counter-attacks, no offside trap
Yeah, very simple and pretty much the default configurations. I'm in level 32, and I was struggling with my old fancy tactics, so I started to play with this simple 4-3-3 and guess what? The results came, even against strong teams (my team is 5*, the average quality in my league is between 5* and 6*). I just have this things on my mind to ensure that all goes well:
1) Morale and Condition must be at least in Good
2) Against much better teams, I can also change to 4-1-4-1 (put the wingers in line with the MC's), with Defensive Team Mentality and Counter Attacks
3) If loosing, I change to 4-3N-2-1 (just push the DM to M), red arrows on the wingers, Attacking Team Mentality, High press and Offside Trap
4) If things are going wrong, I add a team prize to win the match, to keep the players motivated. I also remove that prize if things are going well.

I can post some more SS, if you want. Also, I don't have any more tricks to share, like I said, the key for me is to keep things simple :)
Please share your results, and feel free to correct my English if needed :)
