3n- 2(dml/dmr) - 2-1-2

[Robashby]

I am playing someone using

3N- 2(DML/DMR) - 2-1-2 (he has better midfield/attack, I have slightly better defense)

I am thinking of playing 4-1-2-1-2 to counter it, however, I currently have no AMC. I was wondering whether 4-1-3-2 with the centre midfielder on a red arrow would do nearly the same job?

Long passing?
Zonal marking?
Pressing I am not sure about?
Defensive/normal team mentality
Attack through the centre
Counter attack - yes
offside trap off

Any thoughts would be appreciated

Thanks

I would go for a 4411 or narrow diamond, depending on how well your wingers are, and rather play an mc or st on the amc spot.

I don't actually have a decent MR and I have no AMC. I have a great AML but I am still looking for a MR/AMC. That is why I was thinking narrow.

So do you mean 4-1-3N-1-1 when you say narrow diamond?
Thanks

Thanks

4-4-2 ND >> 4D - 1DMC- 2MC- 1AMC - 2ST
looks good
