From front page:
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.

4-4-2 Classic as you can find it at 1st. Page here!
I played against this formation twice in the Champions League group stage.
It's basically the 3-2-3-2 formation but with wide defenders.
I used 3-5-2 V
-----ST----ST----
AML-----------AMR
----MC---MC-----
-------DMC-------
----DC---DC--DC---
Down both flanks with mixed passing, attacking mentality, no counter, no offside trap, normal tackling and zonal marking
Or if he's better then use defensive mentality with counter attack
Won 5-0 with that tactic
