Counter for 3W-4-1-2?

[goldsilvy]

Is that still 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Diamond as per guide?

What sort of logic undergoes this choice, would like to learn more so I can figure out counters on my own in the future.

Thanks!

Yes
you have 2 DC for oppo 2ST
1 DMC for oppo AMC
DL-DR for oppo ML-MR
2 MC vs 2 MC
and AMC-2ST vs one DC and his DL-DR
of course those DL-DR not gonna stay in the corners, they also defend but the calculations probably will give you some advantage/bonus

Thanks for the link, very helpful guide!

To give some ore context, that was FA game, both legs I used 4-1-2-1-2 ND. My team rating was 80% vs 90% of opponent.

Lost first game 0-1 at home, and second game 1-3 away.

I reckon his AMC was the differential, 8* player. My DMC was 5*

He also had 3 fans, and I had 1 fan watching the game.

For strategy I used

Mentality: Attacking
Passing: Through the Middle
Passing style: mixed
Force counter attacks: Off

Pressing: High
Tackling: Normal
Marking: Zonal
Offside trap: Off

usually this formation stuck in oppo DCs.
if oppo has 2 DC +DMC, its tough
