4-5-1 V style

hey guys,
So i've been using the 4-5-1 V style for some time and it suits me well. Allows me to switch to a normal 4-1-4-1 when i need to defend.
so in my league the top guy uses the annoying 4-3(N)-1-2 :mad: and keeps winning. our first encounter he won 2-0 (his team was better rated back then) and i barely had a shot on target. we play soon and i need to win. how can i use my formation to beat him? (i think i dont have the best tactics for my 4-5-1 V style).
help with beating him (my team has a better rating now :cool:) and also generally what tactics go best with 4-5-1 V style??

if he still use it (4-3N-1-2) try this:

It's not a 4-5-1V but you need only an AMC, at least.

I don't really have a good AMC :( it would lower my rating

Does your team suit 3N-1-3N-2W-1? If so, use it because it actually works a treat against it.

hmm i think i can pull it off. you mean this?
gk
rcb cb lcb
cdm
rcm cm lcm
amr aml
st
and what about tactics and arrows to go with this? (home game for me)

Exactly, Hard Attacking-Long Passes-Through the middle-Counter Attacks on-low pressing- Normal tackling-Zonal marking-no offside trap.

I know it seems strange, but it really works, trust me :) I was really surprised by the result when I played with this for the first time :) But of course, try it in one or two friendly games to make sure.

4-3(N)-1-2

I would play 3DC-1DMC-3MC-AML-AMR-ST against this

Agree. 4-5-1V does not like much 3MCs.
