This season I played vs. narrow diamond 6 times 1W 2D 3L.
I tried with 4-5-1v-style,3-5-2v-style,4-1-4-1,3n-1-3n-2(aml/amr)-1,3n-1-4-2(big mistake).
Now I'll play vs very strong narrow diamond team and I haven't idea what to do
Can you help me?

My friend is playing this formation and is quite unbeatable, with 18W 2D 0L in the League for lvl2 and is ranked 1st since the second matchday.
I have played 2x friendly matches with him and went up in a tie in regular time. I am also lvl2, but I won 1x with penalty shoot out and the other time in the extra time with just 1 goal extra. I use the 5-2N-1AMC-2N.
He only lost the Cup match from a tough player and he is still in the CL, but lost the first match. Have to see the return, because it is also a tough player for him.
So basicly in a fair, decent matching player quality you can tie up with the narrow diamond with the v style. I found a site suggesting to use the v style and 4-3-2-1. Similar to v style but DMC is now MC. You can also put down arrow on this MC when the opponent AMC is taking advantage.

V-style is no longer counter to narrow diamondfor 4-3-2-1 i think I'll have possesion, but only two def in the middle is risky. You give me idea to modificate your 5-2N-1AMC-2N to 5-2N-2(AML/AMR)-1 with red arrows on DL,DR,AML and AMR, down both flanks/hard tackle/shot passing. What do you think?
I started 4-2(dmc)-3w-1 in first half end 1-1 but I haved better statistics in second half i change to 3w-2n-2n-2w-1 i score and win.
Thx guys for help.
V-style, with top notch AMR and AML, the Diamond is toast! Guaranteed.
Oh, I play ND 80% of the time.
In football it is better to be Lucky than Good.
I play V-style or 4-1-3N-2 depending on how I feel - and whether my semi-defensive MCs are suspended XD. Starve ND of the ball in midfield and it withers imo. If you don't then your toast.
