This formation is successful due to counter attacks and aml/amr.
In my opinion, it is not balanced in this game. It is weak in attack, but forcing counter-attacks seems to compensate for that.

Like I have said above, 4-5-1(V) in real life is different to the one in this game; they function differently.
