4-5-1 V orders

[Idrak]

What's your order

[Idrak]

As in whether short pass or through middle or counter... Please

[actrancoso]

I'm starting to use 4-5-1 V and with my best 11 I have 2 options.
1 - 4 defenders, 1 DMC, 1MC (one side), 1MAC (other side, slightly forward), 2 Wingers, 1 Striker;
2 - 4 defenders, 1 DMC, 2MAC, 2 Wingers, 1 Striker;

What are the common midfielders for this formation? 1 DMC and 2 MC? 2 MAC? or 1MC and 1 MAC?
Would option 1 work?
Is option 2 too offensive? should I re arrange agaisnt stronger teams?

Thanks in advance for the help.

@actrancoso, not clear what are you asking for, anyway, as your screenshot it is not 4-5-1v; the way your players are standing or take position it is 4-0-1-4-1;

4-5-1v is like:

st
aml amr
mc - mc
dmc
dl - dc - dc - dr

your best 11 can play following formations:

4-1-0-4-1
4-1-1-3w-1
4-0-2-3w-1
4-0-1-3w-2
4-1-0-3w-2

3w-2dmc-0-3w-2
3w-1-1-4-1
3w-1-2mc-3w-1
3w-2dmc-1-3w-1

Have fun

So, what you are saying is 4-5-1 can't be played with 2 MAC it needs to be with 2 MC.

Which formation do you think I should play agains very even teams?
I'm, 120%, running for the title agains 2 teams with 119% and one with 121%.
My main opponent plays on this formation:
4 -3 MC wide-1-2.

Thanks for the help

don't understand what do you mean "wide" 4-3-1-2, is it like 4 def at the back then ml+mc+mr at midfield, amc with 2 st
or 4 def at the back then 3 mc at midfield...

anyway, I don't play any fixed formation but I like 4-1-4-1 and 4-5-1v
I always try to counter my opponent formation.

for example: as you said 4-3 wide (?) -1-2 then

if it is 4-3 mc -1-2 then counter

3N-1-4-2, 3N-1-5-1, 3N-5-2V, 4-3MC-2WAM-1, 4-5-1V, 3N-5-2

if it is 4-3w [ml+mc+mr] -1-2 then counter

4-1-4-1, 4-5-1V, 3N-1-4-2, 3N-1-5-1
