4-5-1 V Which is the correct use ????

[mzaini_18]

Yes, I'm using 4-5-1V at most match depend opponent formation and strength from level 1 to level 5 (now level 6). But this formation look like not working well since end of last season and cause i lose my league title. I'm also lose my cup match yesterday. I also bring in more quality player with SA, set max match price, condition and moral at 9+%. My team also easy to concede goal from corner, even though my defender has aerial SA. Should i change my team formation? Need your input and thanks!

Agree with this 100%

My orders are
Team Mentality: Normal
Focus Passing: Down Both Flanks
Pressing Style: Own Half
Tackling Style: Normal/Hard
Passing Style: Mixed
Marking Style: Zonal

Blue arrows on DC's, Red arrows on AML, AMR.
If your opponent has an attacking mid, blue arrow, if no AMC, red arrow on DMC.

I won the league with my non token squad. lost 2, drew 1, won the rest. My right winger was my top scorer.

do you use counter attack/offside trap?

do you use counter attack/offside trap?

NOPE TO BOTH.

be careful with of side trap...if the opponent has AMR-L never use of side trap.
Counter attack i have used 1-2 times (against very stronger 4-4-2) CL final last year which i lost ,but i had set defensive mentality.
I never use it dont know if it works.

I had no problems in my league last year,even though it was the toughtest season for me ,since my quality dropped(NO TOKEN ,BOYCOT)
and cause my league had 3-4 decent and active teams.

Had some problems in some games,but i always have a back up scenario(3-5-2V) And (4-3-2-1).
Haven't noticed problems with the formation,keep it in my opinion .

Try to change some key players..DR-DL-AMR-AML and see what happens.

The problem from the corners u have maybe its a bug, maybe nothing.Try to see what is the quality of ur defenders(DCs) in the head and give them some extra SP in defence.

do you use counter attack/offside trap?

No, never. Only play offside with 3 defenders who are faster than strikers and opponent has no AM players.
With counter, you lose possession and it's never benefitted me with this formation.

Is it necessary to focus passing on both flanks when playing 4-5-1 v?

And how does it work against 4-4-2?
