Countering Narrow Diamond.

[LeManiaque]

My strategy against 41212 right now is:

4141
attacking, both flanks, mix, force counter attack prefer off, but can be used if you are behind or started on and turned off to hold your lead. Low pressing, normal, zonal, no offside trap.

Attack arrow on 1 or 2 of your best attacking skills DR/DL and 1-2 ML/MR, for a total of 2-3 attack arrows. Do not put one on your DMC.

Defensive arrow you can apply to one or both DC, I sometimes use one on the side of the higher form or faster attacker. You can try defensive arrow on your DMC( to counter the AMC) or to your solo ST, so he might hold the ball until your midfield attackers can support.

I have a series of 2:1 wins with this strategy, but also have very strong DR and DL

Thanks. I get what you're saying.
I also thought of 4-2(dmc)-1-2aml'r-1
His amc is by far his best player and by closing him down I'll be increasing my chances. I set both dmc's with red arrows and the MC with blue. Blue arrows on all defenders, I'll change to red if I'll see they're doing fine during the match. Down arrows on st.
