Must have been an error ahahnever used easy tackling on 4-5-1 myself..usually goes with normal
I did set high pressing there cause I've got 4 players in defence, 5 in the middle (one defensive and two attacking mids) and for some reason with high pressing the AML AMR play better while pressing whole pitch.
In fact i only set high pressing for 4-5-1 Defensive, if you look up at other defensive formations they'r set to press own half of the pitch
cause they've got 0 or 1 Attacking mid.
Playing 4-5-1 defensive pressing whole pitch makes your team work better in both attack and defence for some reason, i've tested every possible settings on this formation and that's what worked best for me.
Managed to get more shots on target and concerned less goals this way.
I see your point there and i know you'r right and I'm not trying to say that this would work in real football, in fact.. it's a controversy but that's TopEleven
The mistery of defensive 4-5-1..
Here's a game I had against an equal opponent.. he even watched the game but couldnt do anything.. won 0:8 using 4-5-1 defensive down both flanks pressing whole pitch.
You should try and see if it works good with your team, once you test different settings on that formation you'll understand
what im talking about
