How to beat 4-5-1 V-Style

[Brian Dang]

with 4-5-1V..I choose head to head or 4-1-4-1 or 3-5-2V to counter

4-5-1V is in fact a counter formation on 4-4-2. My last cup game against a stronger team I won 8-0 Against a 4-4-2 using 4-5-1V. Also I always lost with 4-4-2 against any 4-5-1V team

So it is. Despite that I've always found that 4-4-2 is quite effective against 4-5-1 V if you set it up correctly with the right orders.

4-4-2 classic works quite well in countering 4-5-1V style.

I've actually been using the 4-5-1 V style to counter the 4-4-2 classic, and its provided me with very good results so far. It's basically total madness tactics and arrows out of the V.

What arrows orders do you use with the 4-4-2 classic? I'm thinking I might give it a try against the 4-5-1 v in a friendly match in a friendly or something.

Yeah - like someone pointed out earlier, that's what should happen - maybe I've just been lucky, or guessed their orders correctly? I wouldn't advise using 4-4-2 against 4-5-1V when you consider that 4-5-1V is meant to counter 4-4-2.

This is the answer for how to beat 4-5-1 V.




The rival team average quality is slightly better than mine. Both were watching the match, both used right players in right position. My team order was attack mixed, hard tackling, mixed passing style, rest remained default w/o counter or offside trap. 4-3-2W-1 really counters 4-5-1V with same quality.

Let's see if 4-3-2-1 will work against this formation (Match in 30minutes)
