How to counter 4-5-1?

[shwanko07]

Screenshots would be much more helpful, but I'm glad you've found an alternative formation which works for you.

look at the difference .. both cup and league teams had almost same average
both players watch the match, but keep in your mind that my possession at home could be be better with 352, but i got 5% home advantage , so it is more 50-50 really without it , while away one you need to add 5% more bcz my mate was playing at home

Which orders did you use with 4 1 4 1 ? I have to face the same formation as you today, I really need to win. Arrows on DL and DR ?

Sorry for the bump, but I'll have 2 important games wich the opponents are using 4-5-1 flat and in the thread of "Table of Counter Formations - What to use?", says the best formation against is 3-5-2 Flat or 3-5-2 V-Style.

By the screenshots above, it seems 4-1-4-1 give us a better results than 3-5-2 Flat or 3-5-2 V-Style.

I need some suggestions/advices from somebody, about wich one I must to use.

ST - ST
AMC
MC - MC - MC
DMC
DL DC DR
GK
attacking
throw the middle
own half
short pass
man to man

offside Trap : ON

he will attack you throw the flanks
your strong side with is the middle with your AMC + 2 ST's

Put Red arrow on your AMC

Really hard game. He lost the 2nd leg in the semi-finals and his opponent has used also 4-5-1 flat.

What about 4-1-4-1?

4-1-4-1 is also good formation

but.......i would say its more defensive because you got 5 players at the back so if you want to play defensive with counters attacks go for it playing only with 1 ST is risky your attack will be based only on him.

I like attacking formation batter because its 1 game only you wont get 2nd chance so either go ALL IN or play safe.

4-1-4-1

i would play

Defensive
throw the flanks
own half
long pass
man to man

Offside Trap : OFF
counter attack : ON
