I put red arrows on my AMC's and DL,DR
Always win against it.
I played against 2 strong teams in my league (5% quality lower than me) won 3-0 and 4-0.
Hope this helps others
I've been playing with the 451v style for about 6 seasons now and in my experience it's not weak against any particular formation, the 451v is easily adaptable u can press high with your am's you can focus mixed by putting an attacking arrow on one of ur mc's and he can even outscore ur wingers If he is very good.

People complain that strikers don't score in this game but with my 451v my st is my highest goal scorer for this season he has 30 in the league and 49 in all competitions and I play in a +1 level cup and champions league. All u ave to do is put the down arrow on ur st and up arrow on aml/amr it will transform him to a beast!

However just as pep Guardiola said it still comes down to having good players If u want to win trophies I will advice that u buy the assistant manager recommended players look out for the ones with rating as good as this 10-10-9-10-8 .
