Against a kind of N Diamond.

Hi my friends
I had a match in the CUP with an opponent LV5 who played with this system.

Attachment 30160

His Q a little bit higher but I had possession (he wasn't present). I played like if he had a diamond but a bit more attacking. Orders Att/flanks/half/normal/mix/zonal, 2 red arrows to AML,AMR and two blue arrows to DMC and c DC. Would it be better to play (out in the 2nd round) 4-5-1 defending/counter ? Why to use 4 defenders (like against a ND) if his main power is in the middle ? Whats the purpose of DL & DC ?

Thanks for the advices :)

For me 4-1-3w-2 & 4-1-3w-1-2-1 always had good results angainst 4-4-2nd. I dont have faith on 4-5-1v enen many says is the best to counter nd. Καλή Επιτυχία φιλαράκι.

" 4-1-3w-1-2-1" you mean 4D- 3MC-1AMC-2ST ?
almost all the threads I read are saying to play with wings (AMR-AML or MR-ML red arrows) against a ND.
My opponents formation is like a diamond style. I am sure that with DMC-MC-2AMC-2ST his orders are "from the middle".
So why I spend a DL and a DR instead of a 3(DC)-2-2-2-1 or 3(dc)-1-2-2-2 more attacking ?

Thanks Niko :)

Use 4-5-1 V style

Why not a 3-1-5-1 ? Why put DL and DR ? His power is from the center ...

V formation seems appropriate or a solid 4-1-4-1 for that extra midfield control.

Even if his power is from the center, his defense can still get through your flanks (I've experienced it many times).

"V formation seems appropriate or a solid 4-1-4-1 for that extra midfield control."
I can do both because I have MR/AMR and ML/AML (also DC/DR,DC/DL and DC/DMC) :)
As I can guess from his games in 1st round (he won 7-0, 9-0) and from his profile ;) , he 'll start attacking, so I would think playing 4-1-4-1 def, wings, long pass, counter, with red arrows in MR,ML . What would you say pal ?

Don't know about long pass, I think they get intercepted by DMCs/AMCs. Try a mixed passing just to be sure. For the rest, I agree, seems like the strategy to go for.

" intercepted by DMCs"
Thanks pal for the reminding ...

A blue arrow on DMC or maybe in one of the MCs would help ? because he has 2 AMC ...
or maybe in one DC I have with sa DW ...
What do you say Vahid ?

If you have 3 DC, why blue arrow on DMC? He has DC behind him...
I use blue arrows on 2 DC and leave middle DC without arrows.

I don't really like putting blue arrows on my DMC. I feel like he's better just staying in his area taking care of his zone

Like preventing from long shots ?

That but also pressing AMC and/or a 3rd ST

I put blue arrows on DMC when my team uses formation with 4 defenders

Hey guys, I appreciate you both for you knowledge but there are some things (not some, many :confused:) that belong to unanswered questions of NORDEUS programming.
You must try a match with exactly same conditions (all the players same condition/morale :p) about 10 times to have a clue .

For your interest, I lost the game 4-3 with a free-kick in the end :mad:.
Anyway, I couldn't get much longer against 2 lv up teams anyway.

I can focus now in CH.L. and training.:p

The game is always unpredictable. I have better possession and shooting in almost all of my matches but that doesn't ensure win. I dominated opponent in 2 cup matches but first ended draw, second my defeat.

Unlucky. Were you leading in the score ?

"unpredictable" factors. After 0-1, I had to go to pick up my little kid. Not a chance to put some Hard def. or hard tackling or substitution :(

Wow, you were owning this. Clearly Nordeus didn't want you winning this or your players decided to go home after three goals

Yeah, anyway.
Thanks guys, you were great.
I ''l need you for CH.L. final now (my league is ok :cool:).
Probably I 'll play with a tough guy from A group (T buyer or farmer) with a team full of scouts.
Do you take the challenge ?

I take all and any challenge. I like to see if I can come up with a good formation every time. Going against a strong dude as well in CL. Hope it goes well.
