Hmmm..... I understood reds to be applicable during attack. Happy to be corrected on this.
IF that understanding is correct, why would you nullify your opponents' midfielders with your attacking fullbacks during, well, your attack?

With narrow diamond I've just beaten 4-5-1-V badly (6-0). So I'd say that's not a good counter to it, opposite ...
reds on DL/DR --> DML/DMR likewise.
reds on MR/ML (like 4-4-2 flat usually uses) -> AML/AMR
DML/AML and DMR/AMR plays in the same field zone, so if your defenders are better you tend to stop almost everything in there. An additional blue arrow on your dmc can make him help the remaining 2 DCs if you are facing 2 STs. or the 2 DCs can dispose of the lone st.
Additionally, DR/DL get aid from the dmc on the sides.
hi Don't take it too serious guys i played a match with my friend in the league me 4 5 1 v equal qlty i lost 3 -0 we played the same match in a friendly same 22 players and formation friendly was 1 - 1 me twice away team once i won at home 3 -1 ??????
reverse logic
I will face a ND team with a little bit better quality a few days later. I am thinking of whether 3-1-4-1-1 works or not. Tatics: normal, 2 flanks, hard tackling (to counter an old-man team with about 30-33 age so that I can make 1-2 injuries)
I'm going to try 3-5-2 V style.
Will post the results.
About 4-1-3n-2, could work in one game, but it doesn't look like a long term counter.
But if your squad, does not have the players to play Vstyle, you should go for it...
Edit: 3-5-2 V-style, worked for me.
