4-5-1v is also my primary formation now. However, when my team face 4-4-2, I usually use a MC to replace the DMC. Actually, I only use a DMC if opponent have a AMC in place.
According to my league record, both my teams use 4-5-1v for over 30% and 4-3-2(AMR/AML)-1 for over 60% of the matches. So far so good.
But I still think both 4-4-2 and 4-5-1v are best formation for inactive teams.
I have always conceded first against 4-4-2, so swap the generally poor form DMC for an ST. Yes, the ST scores. I guess I'll now have to start with my previously favorite hexagon against 4-4-2
