Someone posted in another thread that he tried 4-1-4-1 unsuccessfully. Another team in my league also try 4-1-4-1, losing both matches by 1 and 3 goals. I had tried 4-5-1V with arrow up on my AML and AMR to support my attack, losing once and draw once and it exposed me to more counter-attacks. My mentality is attack, down both flank, mixed passing, no counter, no offside. If I try normal mentality, I will tick forced counter, the rest is the same. The three of us are about the same quality.
He tops the league now with 19 wins, 1 draw, 0 lose, scoring 88 goals and conceding 6.
