4-5-1 V-style ineffective against 4-4-2?

If you are kinda equal in strength. Play 4 - 2N - 1 - 3

Or Stronger Play 4 - 4 - 2 and use Man to man.

If weaker play - 3 - 4 - 1 - 2 - Use Zonal

Whenever I play 4 - 4 - 2 / I set to Normal attacking and the two inner MC's to defending. and short passing.

4-2N-1-3? Interesting. I have heard the similar with the narrow diamond. It's tricky though because it leaves the entire flank exposed to the DL/DR and ML/MR. I may try that.
