About 4-5-1.com
Traditionally favoured by European teams, the 4-5-1 formation is becoming ever more popular in the Premiership.The 4-5-1 - that is four defenders, five midfielders and one striker - is often seen in European games where teams face a tough away fixture and the manager chooses to pack the midfield.It can be very effective, particularly at keeping possession, and with five midfielders covering the defence it provides a solid base.
