For this formation to be successful, a fast attacker with good shooting is essential, since you play with only one. Midfield is strong, capable of supporting both attack and defense.
Wingers can be poor, as long as central midfielders are fast and skilful.
Defenders must be fast. Average defenders will do. The two midfielders must be fast, or you'll be too weak in this area. Attackers can be slower and weaker, but good wingers are a must-have. This formation doesn't work without fast and good shooting wingers.
