Thx for help!
Mentality depends, if hes stronger, defensive, if weaker, attacking (on defensive, u can use hard tackling if u like, i dont usually like it coz a red card may mean a lost game easily).
Passing, down both flanks mixed (your strength with 4-5-1 V is the 2 AMR/L, they are going to be the nightmare of your opponent even if he has 4 def).
Defence in ur own half and zonal.
Most of the times this are the orders for 4-5-1 V, the counterattack orders may work if ur opponent has no DM(C/R/L), not the case. And offside trap is not needed. Dont motivate, as u need your DMC to block his AMC and narrow diamond is quite strong in attacking through the middle, so better to have your 2 wing def ready to help in def... Probably if you have more score than him, you could motivate your DR/DL to give an extra punch to your attack, not sure about it thou. But... im a beginner in this, i just read some and tried some
Hummmm.... ok, is he stronger than you then? Did u setup orders as recommended by me just now? Even thou 4-5-1 V is a goood formation, for a narrow diamond we have some better ones. As its narrow and probably hes just using the center for attacks, 3 DC may do the trick, and as you need to kick back, i will change the def to AMC... bit risky maybe... or maybe as a MC will work too, you will have the centre dominated, For this i will use short passing style, down both flanks. But wait for the master answer
I am facing a 3-1-2-3-1

He is weaker than me, its the second leg of the semifinal of the Champs, and i wanna beat him! On the first leg i won 0-2 so i have a nice advantage, but he can cause some harm with this (specially if he goes hard attacking).
Probably a 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow diamond can be a good counter (attacking through the middle), but not sure. Usually i use a 4-5-1 V style, wich may work, but i think i may need an extra punch in defense... maybe 4-2-1-2-1 with 2 DMC and 2 AMC? That should give me good possession, attack the centre where he is weaker and strong defence on the centre and sides... this shall come with short passing centre, own half, def ment, counter may be on... What u think?
