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

[Chris Rath]

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.

I was actually searching to find something else on this forum but your post got my attention and I logged in to reply for you. So yes, straight to the point. I believe you are right about the Narrow Diamond. I'm season 18/level 18 and so far I used the ND formation and won all but two leagues (ended 2 times 2nd). I lost matches, ofcourse, but no dramatically strange scores or things you sit and wonder about, supporting managers have better chances. From my personal experience I believe the ND formation is the strongest on Top Eleven. I also believe there are plenty of you out there who wouldn't agree on this but also, I haven't seen a single team yet with the same percentage of no1 trophies as I have and numbers don't lie.

Edit:
P.S I've only bought 3 times 176 Tokens in the past

It's nice to see more experienced managers joining in to share their know how.

That's where i read it, Chriss, thx!
Not the same formation, as it has 2 ST's and only 2MC's not 3, but similar.

i also think that ND is one of the strongest and 'winnable" formations in the game,but i can say that some formations vs ND dont work so good in some servers or in some teams..I remember that 4-5-1V worked fine vs ND in my first seasons ,then 3-5-2V ..now both of them dont.

So my opinion is that their no magic formation vs ND and definetaly no magic vs any formation,,it depends on the trollness and randomcy of the game.
