my players' condition and morale both were full too,but i didn't win..
Can Anyone have any suggestion how can i give him a lesson?? It is very very much necessary for me TO DEFEAT HIM if.Please help friends..please..


I am using Wide diamond formation

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

Actually, the recommended formations to use against the narrow diamond are 3N-1-4-2 and 4-5-1 V-Style

i recommend you 4-5-1 V, normal, both flanks, short, zonal no counter or offside . or you play defensive with counter on. i use red arrows on DL and DR and blue arrow on DMC. you can change the arrows in the game .

I recommend u 4-5-1V or 3-5-2V

i am at level 3 and actually i didn't know that formation is that much important
i have completed Season 1 & 2 being 1st using this formation.So i dont have any mc in my team.because i thought i will win by using this formation.so i didnt sign any mc this season.Moreover i have 2 ml,2mr,2dmc and 3 st and plenty of dc.is there any chance of wining without using mc??or i am bound to buy some mc?

please help :(

you can play 4-1-4-1 , with red arrows on ML and MR .... in this case your formation in attack will be 4-5-1V. or.. if you have better DC then his ST... play 3-1-4-2 .. same red arrows on ML and MR and this is 3-5-2V in attack . both flanks, normal, long and zonal. no off or counter. counter if you play defensive

upss. you don;t have MC.... use the both DMC with red arrows on them.

PS... buy some MC's :)

but problem is that there is no mc in my squad :(
how will i manage 4 Mid-fielders with my ml and mr :(

should i buy some mc??

if you can buy 2 MC it will be great, if not use the 2 DMC like this :

DL-DC-DC-DR
-DMC-DMC-
ML-------MR
---ST-ST---

with red arrows on DMC and ML/MR

or

DL-DC-DC-DC-DR
---DMC-DMC---
ML-----------MR
------ST-------

with red arrows on the middle DC, DMC and ML/MR

wow..thanks a lot friend :D

ok i will use

DL-DC-DC-DC-DR
---DMC-DMC---
ML-----------MR
------ST-------

with red arrows on the middle DC, DMC and ML/MR


But any suggestion in the tactics?

normal or defensive, flanks, normal, long, zonal and counter( if defensive ) no offside

4-5-1 V has lost most of its edge against the narrow diamond.
