Advice for 3W-4-1-2

[Nicky]

Cup's playoff, first leg at home.
I'll play against a team a little bit stronger than me with this module:

DL----DC----DR
---------------
ML-MC---MC-MR
------AMC-----
----ST--ST----

Considering that I've a very strong defense but I'm conceding too many golas, what module would you suggest to use?

With a narrow diamond I''l be stronger in the middle but weaker in the flanks.

4-2-2-2 hexagon worked for me.

You need to be careful about the narrow diamond. If his ML and MR are getting too much of the ball then put blue arrows on your DL and DR

I hate the 3W-4-1-2... It's so annoying to counter and a pain in the ass

You mean this?

DL---DC---DC--DR
------------------
-----MC---MC----
AMR----------AMR
----ST---ST----

but in this case, isn't his AMC too...free?

When I played the 4-5-1 V, I only won 1-0 from a long range strike, so I don't even know.. 4-2-2-2 worked for me, but if you want to try the narrow diamond you can

Thank you, tomorrow I will try the hexagon and let you know ;-)

Great, 4-2-2-2 hexagon worked for me as well!

I won 2-0 at home, a good result considering he hasn't score away from home.

The orders:

normal, passing on flanks, counter attack
