Congratz, i expected a bigger win but its a win Next time if you can counter it with 3 DC.
I dont give bonuses in the competition and CL poule, only in a further stadium of the CL. Cup depending of my opponents strength.
You are asking me how to counter the narrow diamond but you have so many more experience, level 19 and me level 4

Yes but you may have more experience about formations.. Because since today I started looking up for counter-formations.. I saw agains 4-1-2-1-2 (narrow diamond) the best is 4-5-1 (V-style)
Lol,sorry but I don't get it,in 15 minutes here or?

Play with 3 DC's
Put red arrows on 2 of your middle MC's (normal mentality, passing through the middle and long passing)

use your DR or DL as DC. doesn't matter that it isn't their original position.

When you play with a player out position there is a 5% posession penalty

is it really 5%? coz whenever I do it it seems much much less. I've even had 2 players out of position and not noticed much of a possession loss.

Started with 3-5-2 and in the first half its 2-2 (attacking mentality,down the flanks, long passing ) then changed to 4-2-2-2 Hexagon (attacking mentality,through middle,mixed passing,own half pressing,zonal,normal tackling) and finished with 5-2

I never see a problem against it,with 4-5-1 V style.
