5-4-1

5-4-1 is mostly used for training defenders

Defending trainers will pretty much always have problems in matches, because they have to play with 5 defenders in order to receive proper training. But there are different options to make the best of it. Because the defence ratings will be good, CA is a good option against teams that are equally strong or stronger. Two formations can be used by defending trainers: 5-3-2 and 5-4-1. Both have their advantages, but 5-3-2 is most used. Here are some variations:

Formation A

FO		FO

Formation B
