- The 4-5-1 formation is designed to pack midfield in order to starve the opposition attack of possession.
- It normally relies on direct play to a striker playing in a lone role supported by one or more attacking midfielders.
- This is the standard version of the tactic, and instructs three of the midfielders to support the front man when possible.
WHO IT SUITS:
- Teams looking to play in a solid and organised but positive manner.
- Squads containing players that are technically weak, but contain fast and fit midfielders able to support the striker when the opportunity arises.
- Teams with an FC who is both tall and physically strong enough to win balls, and hold up play until the midfielders are able to join attack.
NOT SUITED TO:
- Teams looking to either play very attacking or very defensive football.
- Teams lacking a strong centre forward.
- Teams with technically strong and/or physically weak players who are suited to a less direct style of play.
451 Attacking
- This is the attacking version of the tactic, and uses four midfielders to support the attack whenever possible, whilst one remains back to shield the defence.
WHO IT SUITS:
- Teams looking to play in an offensively adventurous manner.
- Squads containing fast and preferably attackingly-able midfielders able to support the striker when the opportunity arises.
- Teams with an FC who is both tall and physically strong enough to win balls, and a defensively minded midfielder able to protect the back four.
NOT SUITED TO:
- Teams looking to play largely defensive football.
- Teams lacking a strong centre forward.
- Teams lacking attackingly able midfielders.
451 Defensive
- This is the defensive version of the tactic, and instructs a team to play cautiously and generally use only one midfielder to support attack.
WHO IT SUITS:
- Teams looking to play with caution and/or protect a result.
- Teams containing players that are technically weak, but contain fast midfielders able to support the striker when the opportunity arises.
- Teams with an FC who is both tall and physically strong enough to win balls, hold up play and operate in a largely lone attacking role.
NOT SUITED TO:
- Teams looking to score lots of goals.
- Teams lacking a strong centre forward.
- Teams with technically strong and/or physically weak players who are suited to a less direct style of play.
