4-4-2 is BAD for 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Diamond (lost couple of matches trying against someone almost 10 points weaker)... Better 4-5-1 V (you have it explained in the first page man :P)

ok, thanks but i saw that post 1000 times and it still doesn't say what should my orders be when playing 4 5 1 V.

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

4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Diamond


----ST----ST--
------AMC----
----MC--MC---
------DMC-----
DL-DC-DC-DR

The Narrow Diamond is a very effective attacking formation, however the vulnerability of this formation is the lack anything to protect the flanks.

A 4-5-1 V Style formation can take advantage of the flanks of the diamond with an AML and AMR as well as defend against the AMC by using a DMC.

4-5-1 V Style:

---------ST--------
AML---------AMR
-----MC--MC---
------DMC-----
DL-DC-DC-DR

Another variation on countering the narrow diamond would be by using the 4-3-2-1:

4-3-2-1

---------ST-------
AML---------AMR
---MC-MC-MC---
--DL-DC-DC-DR--

Although there is no DMC with the 4-3-2-1 it is still a very effective attacking formation to counter the Diamond with, mainly because of the strong middle as well as having attacking flanks.
If during the match you feel the AMC is taking advantage, then a simple (DOWN) arrow would be placed on the middle MC which in turn effectively would be turning this formation into a 4-5-1 V Style.
