The three most common Extreme formations are:
These three formations, and only these, will not sacrifice training for the week as long as they are played with at most three players at each position.

One notable exception is with 5-2-3 with two wingers and counterattack tactic; such teams don't want any possession at all, solely relying on their counterattacking ability to score.
