    4-4-2 Diamond Tactics?

    So far I'm in Season 3, played a standard 4-4-2 up to now with both wingers set to run forward and team tactics set as:

    Team Mentality: Normal
    Focus Passing: Down Both Flanks
    Pressing Style: Own Half
    Tackling Style: Normal
    Passing Style: Short
    Marking Style: Zonal

    Counter Attacks: No
    Offside Trap: No

    I've blitzed the leagues, and got to finals of both cup competitions, however I have now switched to a 4-4-2 diamond and was wondering if I should change my tactics in anyway?

    Obviously currently I am focused on wing play, but as my team has progressed it's ended up that my wingers are my weakest position so its probably not a good idea anymore to rely on them?

    Any help would be appreciated

    Meant chance of winning matches higher...At level 6-7...few season back.. Our favorite formation also ND..My biggest achievement so far for 1 of our 3 teams: Team Winning 11 (Now level 10) was also at level 7 with Double Champion and 2nd place in CUP with Narrow Diamond mostly (ofcoz sometimes facing too strong team or funny formation then u MUST switch or adapt another formation)...
    How w played: Attacking/through the middle/hard tackle/mix or short passing/no offside/no counter/
    Depend on the opponent I have blue or red arrow on DMC but always red on AMC...

    Focus Passing: Mixed
    Passing Style: Mixed

    This wont be bad to if u change because u have players in every place of the field and it will be a good thing if u try them.

    Focus Passing: Down Both Flanks it a good order if u are playing against a team with formation that has a just DL and DR or DML and DMR or ML and MR or AML and AMR.

    Ahh sorry I thought with a 4-3-2-1 you meant DL - DC x 2 - DR - MC x 3 - AML - AMR - ST.

    Is it only the MC x 2 and 1 AMC then?

    Will try it out in a Friendly game before I play my league game later on today.

    Actually ignore that, I was trying a 4-3-2-1 out and got it all completely mixed up with this tactic haha. Sorry
