    How to counter 4-5-1?

    Playing someone that has 2 fb 2 dc, lm rm cm cm cm, st st, not I'm set up for 4-1-2-1-2 atm but i don't think that will be too good against the 4-5-1, so I'm asking what would be a good counter to it?

    Ah sorry I just found the sticky, not much on the flat but it does have a suggestion of 3-5-2

    3-5-2 flat or 3-5-2 V. For future reference, the formation you've described is called 4-5-1 flat.

    Ah nice, why you're here may I ask, is there any basic guidlines for the tactics, mentality etc, for example - play normal mentality if you're about an even team

    Actually, it's a back 3. What arrows and tactics are you using? And what sort of team were you facing?

    3N at back .. lost at home in cup facing a team 2 points lower than me AVG wise , after drawing 2-2 away
    my mate who watched this game is my biggest rival in league, unsurprisingly today tried to use the same formation 4-5-1 after watching me losing at home yesterday
    what i did is i used 4-1-4-1 .. beat him away 3-0 with ease
    so my guess a motivated 4-1-4-1 work better than 352 .. i need to own the mid not only to control the mid but stop them attacking me .. that was where 3-5-2 flopped yesterday.. may be it will work against a team who are far worst or when playing abandoned teams but that means little tbh if you face someone who watch the match..

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