Sorry, I'd go for something like 4-5-1 V style - hopefully that will give enough attacking power whilst keeping a solid enough defence.

Agree, or alternately 3N-2W-2N-2W-1 - I'm playing that against a similar formation (3W-1-2N-3W-1) today, attacking down the flanks.

Yeah, that might work better actually.

I won 4-1. His AMC was injured off after 20 minutes (I was up 2-0 then, but he scored from the resulting free kick), and my MC (who injured the AMC) got his 2nd yellow in the 65th. I had played a blue arrow on that MC to encourage him to drop back on the AMC, I guess it worked too well!
