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

[Trella]

i heard too much people speaking about
4-5-1V
everybody said that is a very good formation if you play it correct !!!

so which is the correct use of 4-5-1V ???

[FC Barcelona]

tbh, i don't know. I tried sevral times to set-up correctly a 4-5-1V... and my wingers underperformed. Same thing for narrow diamond, hard to set-up.

It's not hard to set up, you just have to understand the formation itself in order to put it to work. 4-5-1 V is based on zonal marking, good defense, once you get possession counter through fast and skillful wingers. You need a very good visionare DMC with accurate long balls to start the counters. when playing with 1st, he has to be penalty box type of ST putting away chances. Not only he has to be good with both head and feet, he has to have that instinct of a poacher because he won't touch the ball much but must be effective once he does. The wingers are the most important players because if they can't provide they have to be capable of doing it themselves.
4-1-2-1-2 narrow diamond is attacking through middle where the AMC plays as playmaker feeding the top 2 ST. You need 2 excellent fullbacks to go up and down the flanks creating space in attack and cover in defense.
1 is based in fast accurate physically team and the other needs to be more technically gifted.

You are talking as if this game is that technical and complicated. your philosophy works for real football, not for T11.

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.

playing almost 4 seasons the same tactic.
Almost the same orders,except that when i have against me 3Mcs (4-3-2-1) which is the most diff formation for me i paly short passing.

I dont use arrows at all,for me to use arrows to AMR-AML has no use (but maybe for some managers will work),and also i dont understand the red arrow to the ST.
i read other users of 4-5-1V opinion and i will try it to see what happens.
The only time i use arrows(red) is when i go with attacking mentality ,or i change it to attacking during the game and I put them in the DR-L s.

So typically u play with DMR-L.

The formation requires very good DR-DL,excellent AMR-L,and one decent DMC and ST

As pistolero said last 2 seasons my AML was my best player scored over 70 goals and gave over than 30 assists.
he was a 5-6* first season and a 5* the second .
Also last season i replaced my AMR which is an old 4* became 5* during the season and was my second goalscorer.

So for me u need excellent AMR-L to play 4-5-1V.

ps.From what i have seen after 4 seasons playing this formation my Mcs always suc...or to be more specific they are almost average,they dont score a lot ,they get injured very often ,and they get cards very easily.
Maybe it's the system's weakness,or another idiotic Nord bug,or just nothing.

do you use counter attack/offside trap?

[dimdim1]

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.

[El Pistolero]

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.

i think he means the tactics.....
