The Attacking 5-4-1 CHALLENGE !!!!

5,828 20

Want to write for our blog? Get in touch about becoming a sortitoutsi writer.

I know what you're thinking! Theres no such thing as an attacking 5-4-1 you mug, you have 5 defenders on the pitch!

The Idea: So I play a lot of FIFA 12 and because I find the defending on it is an absolute battle, so to counter this I play 5-4-1 (Diamond). Can I do this on FM12 (or soon FM13)?

Has anyone tried this?

Do you want to help me make it possible?

I thinking about a youtube series about this. Contributions welcome.

I am so on board for this. We should do a podcast about the attacking 5-4-1

Not really, it can mean you have 5 attacking players so balancing it out? It would be nice for some of us to support someone who's actually FM posting rather than being arrogant flowers about it

Ay saying you can't play an attacking 5-4-1 is ridiculous. If you've got wingbacks and some adventurous midfielders it can act more like a 3-4-3, but without completely throwing caution to the wind. I've always wanted to try and make a successful team with wingbacks but can never make it work, although I usually i'd go for a 5-3-2, this also means you can have two holding midfielders for ultimate defensive stability.

My greater question however, is why you've added this as a guide in the guides section

Great I want to make a video for my youtube channel on this, but we could also make it a podcast if you know how to do this.

private message me your ideas.

This actually had me laughing out loud, not too helpful though.

This also made me laugh. And was helpful. Perhaps a ball playing defender? I was also thinking of an Advanced Playmaking Midfielder/Deep Lying Playmaker combo.......?

Good question. I think the site re-design through me a little. Can you suggest another area to post it. Or I could rename it as a guide to completing the 5-4-1 attacking challenge.

Hey, I PM'ed you about the podcast, but in case you don't get it (sometimes PMs get lost) you need to download Skype, a skype recording program and then invite me to a Skype conversation and then record it. That's a podcast. I'm totally down for it.

Here are some ideas:

Is the attacking 5-4-1 a myth?
What animal is the attacking 5-4-1 most like?
Would the attacking 5-4-1 beat Godzilla in a fight?
Does the diamond at the heart of the attacking 5-4-1 make it more appealing to women?

I've got a ton of other ideas so get back to me!

Your ideas sounds great. Definitely something different to what I've done before. Like the comedy element though. I have Skype. I know of a good skype call recording program too. I also have FRAPS, which can be used to record FM at 480p.
Where were you thinking of uploading the podcast? On here?

Didn't get your PM, my skype is: theprince7121.

Considering he has links to dozens of youtube videos featuring his voice, I'd say he was real. So good job ruining the fun.

Leading someone on for a joke just to make them look stupid at the end of it isn't my idea of fun. Plus the YouTube link means little as you could have easily have found that yourself then pretended to be him on here.
