ZentSPB is on a distinguished road
Default 4-5-1 formation

How do you play against it? I usually play 4-4-2 or 4-1-2-1-2, and whenever I come across 4-5-1 I seem to struggle. My team gets less of the ball, which is understandable, I suppose, but more annoyingly there is no coherency, no order and the only chances are long shots. Is there any way of countering a 4-5-1 without actually mirroring the opposition's formation?

Your best bet might be the tactics forum but:

The general rule of thumb is (and this is greatly simplified):

4-5-1 beats 4-4-2

4-3-3 beats 4-5-1

4-4-2 beats 4-3-3

Your two wide attackers have to help out as much as possible and counter-attack very well.
