How do I break down a 4-5-1 formation?

I am in desperate need of a prompt response. Thank you so much!

Just go out there, tackle hard, find the target man, and call it a day. That’s really all there is to it! 🤷

But what if he decides to run a double fullback system? I’ve personally tried that whole "parking the bus" tactic and playing like it’s the 19th century... but every single time, it just ends in a 0:0 draw.

We absolutely need Torres up front to break through those counterattacks.

Torres plays better when we run a three-striker formation... he’s worth at least three players on his own. I was actually thinking about experimenting with three left backs just to catch them off guard on the counter-attack, you know? Just to throw them a curveball...

So, you're playing with Chelsea? That's a solid thought—just slot in Cole, Azpilicueta, and Eto'o and you're basically set for victory.
