Is Narrow Diamond getting out of controll? (like 4-4-2 back in the day)

3N-1-2N-2W-2 works!!!! I won today against an equal Q opponent in cup and two of my three goals were scored by my AMR and my AML.

3N-5V-2 works most of the time. Two seasons ago I lost 2 matches with 3N-5V-2 (normal, mixed poassing down both flanks, own half pressing) against 4-1-2-1-2s (equal level to 1* lower quality). The opponents probably played weird versions of it (red arrows on wing backs, long passing down both flanks or something like this), but against the standard version your system works.

I play most of the times assymetric systems when facing it now.

but it seems that could be not enough mc`s,my dmc with only 3 stars. would it be enough?or better put one more mc with blue arrow instead dmc? and what is the best 3 dc`s or dl,dr,2dc for me?my attackers are good but they r not scoring enough and i dont know why no matter if i play with 2 or 1 st`s
and please advise about orders .TY

A good MC with blue arrow, changes the formation.
His AMC will be free, so i don't think that's a good ideea.

ok man, i`ll try, but in my situation (3 star dmc) what would be better 3 dc`s or 4 defenders?and what about the orders?thanks in advance

IMhO, the formation, is more important than the orders.
So go with what the "old timers" suggest.
Will try tomorrow, with the ND in CL, me 35 Q overall, him 33.9.
It will be a good test. And i'll post the screens, and explain the orders and changes.

Don't think so.
You attack with 2 ST on 4 defenders.
You don't have superiority in the midfield.

I have a new idea: 3n-1-3n-2w-1

[Eugen Cristea]

Thank you Suransh & Dman2pt. Very good advice.






So, I watched, he didn't, but he had a supporter.
He scored in the first minute, and after my(only) substitution.
I scored from a 2x corner, and didn't score from the second 2x corner.
I substituted a ST, and in the time after i hit "save" to his substitution, he scored, and got injured

So the score without Nordeus bugs: 2-0 for me.
I think 3-5-2 V-style really works.

I read this worked, from someone trustworthy, not the likes of bigbetty, can't remember where...
The thing is, you only have 1 ST, and he must be a good one...
