Available in: Career Mode / Kick-off / Tournaments

Suitable for the matches that you’re trying to concede no goals and do counter-attacks.

The 5-4-1 formation is a particularly defensive formation, with an isolated forward and a packed defence. The lone striker is usually looking to receiving the ball for scoring on counter-strikes.
