Why people play attacking with 4-5-1 V? It's counter attack formation.

It's one of the weakest formations in the game. It works best as a counter attacking tactic with organised defense then long balls to the wings for the fast wingers to counter attack. It only works well if you have a monster of a team, total domination in quality over the opposition. The biggest problem with this formation is the space between the players are longer than most other formations making it difficult to link the defense with attack. Another problem is most players that adopt this formation are wing play fanatics. They are mostly CR7 fans but there's only 1 CR7 in the world and attacking through the wings with 1 ST is pretty weak in general. So simple! Attacking middle = shoot, pass to front/side or dribble >>>> Attacking wings = cross or dribble. It's a shame most managers do not understand the basics and over-rate this formation. In order for this formation to operate successful as an attacking formation, you need 2 super powerful wingers that can pass, dribble and score. You would have very low chance to opt an attacking mentality against a better opponent even if he has 3 DC.

Hi fmldotcom, you have your point about 4-5-1V style. I played it the whole time last season mostly counter attack however it do not work anymore for me.
I wonder what kind of formation you are usually use and how to use it effectively Thanks
