About this formation
Basically you are looking to get the ball forward as quickly as possible so that your five attacking players can hound the opposing defence. With their work rate set to high they hunt down defenders and cause panic amongst the opposition. The use of the long ball was very important in my tactic whether it was hit to crouch to win a flick on or to set the wingers on their way to put crosses in. My philosophy was that once the ball was in the oppositions half then you could start to play football.
I was definitely impressed at how well the formation worked when put into practice. In the first couple of games i had my opponents pinned in their own half as my players basically got right in their faces. My finishing still wasn't up to scratch but my thinking was if i create more chances i'm bound to score more goals, which was definately the case.
I was pleasantly suprised to see how fast the wingers got back to help their full back and how the defence didn't seem under anymore pressure than when i usually play despite my much more attacking line up. I was still however conceding stupid goals through silly mistakes, but i was scoring more than usual so what the hell.
I was starting to win more games than i did before and in most of the ones i lost i was desperately unlucky. Recently though, i've not been using the tactic from the start, instead waiting until 60 mins or half time (if losing) to introduce it and It's been going down a treat.
