New guy needs some advice + how to counter?

[padrino]

Hey there,

i'm new to the game and just wanna know how to handle it with "W", "V", or Diamond Formations. How do they look like? Or how can i recognize what a "V", "W", "D", or "c" is?? . Could someone of the Veterans here explain it please?

Here's my next formation i have to encounter:


So, what kind of formation is this? 4V-4V-2 ? And how to counter?

Thanks for your patience and your advice guys

V style is midfielders at V shape( DMC - MC - MC - AML - AMR). W means wide positions, example DL/DC/DR is 3W defenders. Diamond means midfielders with DMC - MC - MC - AMC. N means narrow position, example MC - MC - MC or DC - DC - DC.

That tactic is illegal in old days, but not anymore. I recommend you to use 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Diamond or 4-3n-1-2, attack through the middle.
