This is old thread, but some players might still see it. I've just finished my cup match against this formation, he is slightly worse than me in quality. He beat me in the first game because I didn't even attend to it 3-1, I had Narrow Diamond then. In the 2nd leg I used 4-1-3N-2 and played 3-1 until 90th and in additional time I scored 2 more, so total was 5-1.

This was my formation and orders:

---------ST-ST----------
-------------------------
-----MC-MC(up)-MC------
-------DMC(down)--------
DL(down)-DC(down)-DC(down)-DR(down)

Defensive, through the middle, own half, normal tackle, combined passing, zonal marking, force counter-attack.

If you play against this formation soon and you use my tactic, please reply in this thread. I wanna see also your results.
