Why are there only five tokens?

5v5 means five per team, goalkeeper included. You cannot place a sixth starter in this format.

Which preset should I start with?

2-1-1 is the usual flat shape. 1-2-1 puts a single defender behind two central players. 1-1-2 leaves two players high.

Football 5v5 Formation Creator

Five-a-side uses the whole side in one picture: one goalkeeper and four outfield players. The presets are a 2-1-1, a 1-2-1 diamond, and a 1-1-2. On a small pitch the distances are short, so drag the front player deeper or push the pair of defenders wider after you pick a shape. This page opens with five players already on the grass.
