need help with my 4-5-1 tactics please!!

[robisok]

i have been trying to devise a good set of 4-5-1 tactics using the tt&f guide i am playing with Rangers and some times they play really good and other times they are terrible i have uploaded my tactics and screenshots of my players i wonder if anyone could have a look at it and see if they can see where i am going wrong or give me some pointers thankyou in advance. Also if it is not to much to ask can a ultra defensive (shut up shop) tactic be made to go with these. Again thankyou

Just a thought on the actual formation, 4-5-1 is a defensive control formation which relies on counter-attacking and an excellent target man to hold up play.

How about switching to 4-1-4-1 for true defensive variants, and at least 4-4-1-1 for true attacking variants?

Ihave changed to a 4-3-2-1 formation and slowed the passing down a bit and so far so good i never really looked at 4-5-1-as a defensive formation when set to attacking and the midfielders supporting but you are right looking at it so thankyou again and i eagerly await your new tactic sets and i just wish i had your knowledge but we live and learn lol!!!
