    I've had success using the narrow diamond against the 4-5-1 V. In theory the ND shouldn't be that effective, but its done well for me.

    I would think the 3W-4-3 would be very effective countering the 4-5-1 V although I haven't personally tried it. According to the counter formations table its the counter to the 4-1-4-1. Isn't the 4-1-4-1 very similar to the 4-5-1 V?

    Attacking, down the flanks, whole pitch pressing, hard tackling, short passing, man marking, no counter, yes offsides.

    nevermind, just saw this topic was from over a year ago!!!

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

    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 far

    Season 1: 1st
    Season 2: 1st + CL 1st
    Season 3: 1st + CL 1st
    Season 4: 3rd + Cup 2nd
    Season 5: Holiday all season. 4rth
    Season 6: Tried to get 8th but failed.. 6th
    Season 7: 4th
    Season 8: 1st + CL 3rd + Cup 3rd
    Season 9: 2nd
    Season 10: 1st + Cup 1st
    Season 11: 1st
    Season 12: Current season. Competition with 10 token buyers, CL with a couple tough guys and already out of cup. Might try to get 8th this season. (Won first few League matches. Currectly still 1st)

    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.

    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.
