4-5-1 v

----DR----DC----DC----DL---

----MR---MC----MC----ML---
----(up)--------------(up)--
----------------------------
--------ST------ST---------

attacking, mixed, own half, hard, mixed, zonal
no counter, no offside

I always win >3-0 sometimes 1-0 league and cup unbeaten.

Short passing for flat formations and so this means no counter attack and no counter.

If i meet a team using AM or DM should i use long passing or mixed passing?

btw the formation 4-5-1 v shaped also through the middle???

Doesn't make a difference, I don't think so anyway...

That is correct, it's best to use short passing with formations without DM or AM players. And for 4-4-2, you should be using down both flanks with it as well.

Hi dv8r, I often agree with you on most things but do you have any experience/knowledge to support this?

I play the 4-5-1V with short passing and I always get above 80% passes completed.

Flat formations are best used with the short passing, I don't understand why but it does work for me. For me, short passing for 4-5-1 v does not work as effectively as mixed passing. A former user, Adel Gamal also said the same thing and justified his reasons for saying it but the thread is gone now so I can't retrieve it.

I assumed short passing wouldn't work with teams using 4-3-3, 4-5-1 flat, 4-4-2 because there is no link between DC and CM and ST.
