With this formation I can be very competitive using a 2 star Toronto FC team vs. one of FIFA 09 Powerhouse 5 Star's. I'm still playing 09 and have yet to move to 10 to try out this formation. FORMULA316 is my GT to see this in action.

do you use that formation online? playing with no midfielders sure take some guts

Anyone know if any teams from La Liga or Premier play with 5 defenders as their default formation? I haven't come across any.

I sure do.

I run 3 variations of the formation, all with the same on-field positions with
the 1st a more defensive stance with minimal attack, the 2nd a balance of both,
and the 3rd an all out push, usually reserved for the final 10-minutes.

I find the formation interesting because it tires out the opposing online players.
Those that constantly 'double team' to chase me down will have greater fatigue.

I'm a fair player, winning 30% to 40% of my games, mind you I usually switch
between 2-star Toronto FC and 4-star Napoli and for the most part play against
5-star user teams. If you're on Xbox Live, my gamertag is FORMULA316

4-1-2-1-2 is by far the best formation in the game..especially when using inter..no one can penetrate that defense and then u send it up to eto or balotelli all game long with sauzo and quaresma on the wings for maximum speed
