Formation with a very good striker

[precator]

My Striker is by far my best player ratings wise and was wondering if someone could recommend a good formation if your main guy is your striker. Any recommendations would be appreciated..

dv8r, do I space out the 2 mc's or leave them together in the middle?

[dv8r]

2 MCs spaced out and down both flanks

the best for one ST is 4-5-1 v style or flat !

3-2-2-2-1 & 4-1-2-2-1 are both good depending on the formation they are up against.
4-1-2-2-1 can struggle against flat 4/5 MF motivated.

6 man MF's rule the roost in general so for a general formation that you do not want to change much, 3-2-2-2-1 is best, when playing against one striker open up the the back three to DL/DC---DC---DR/DC if you have them that way you can close them up if he brings on a second striker.
When playing with defense wide focus should be, both flanks, narrow mixed, IMO and dv8r's
