jasonboyacmilan Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I always have a hard time beating teams who play this formation. I mostly play a narrow 4-1-2-1-2, but it doesn't seem to work against this. Can anyone help me with this? Thank you! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmett8324 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Its because if the oposition have 5 in midfield then they will outnumber you. Try playing two wide men and tell the team to attack down the flanks. This way it will pull there widemen out further leaving more space in the middle of the pitch.

etlsenza Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 3-5-2 tactic is the best to beat 4-5-1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitruc03 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I play a narrow 4-1-2-1-2 as well. Usually start with Control and shout 'Retain Possession' and 'Play Wider.' If that doesn't work I'll go Attacking or even Overload and 'Pass Into Space' as well. Just played Newcastle in a friendly (I'm Arsenal)... didn't even have to change mentality to Attacking and I was up 4-0 by halftime (7-0 final with second XI playing the second half).
