JUST TIP HOW TO BEAT 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Diamond

[FlyingV]

Hello all cool managers,

At this midnight *in my country*, Im just gonna share a tip how to beat 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Diamond. I often faced this formation, and can be called that I always succeed to beat this formation. I dunno if my tip doesnt work for your team and I'll be so sorry. But It always works for me.

I always use 4-1DMC-3N-2 to beat 4-1-2-1-2 ND. Like this picture:

-------DR--------DC(DOWN)-------DC(DOWN)--------DL----------
----------------------------DMC---------------------------------
----------------------MC----MC----MC--------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------ST----ST-----------------------------
*down= blue arrow
Order :
Normal mentality, mixed focus, own half, normal tackling, mixed passing, zonal marking, no counter attack, no offside + Good LUCK *just kidding*

Some results:


I think that all about my tip. Hope this can help you all and be benefit for ya all. .

And I hope in this formation sub-forum, I can find so many threads like this so we can have many references *just my suggestion*
I always wait for the other tips *ecspecially how to beat 4-4-2 because I can hardly beat this formation somehow, lol*

Thanks in advance

Thank you very much for the unolicited advice - much appreciated my friend. Any suggestions on how to beat a:

4-1-2MC-2AMC-1 ? I have 4-5-2 v / 4-1-4-1 / 4-4-2 / 4-1-1-2-2 options and this is a HUGE Game for me,

Thanks again,
V

Unfortunately, I havent faced that formation before. But, I think 4-1-3-2, 4-5-1 v and 4-1-4-1 should work against it because that formation a bit same with 4-1-2-1-2 ND with using 2 amc instead of ST. You just need blue arrow for DMC. Or using my favourite formation 3W-2DMC-4-1 with blue arrow for 1DC and 2 DMC.

You were so Kind to respond Der Panzer. I win 3-0 (2-0) at half using 4-1-4-1 then increased posesion and scored another in 2cnd half using your 3W - 2DMC - 4 - 1 (playing Normal / own half press / counters on in an away game).

Very happy with the result as opponent had only let in three goals so far, all season and this was for first in league.

Just wanted to thank you and share results my friend. Much apreciated advice,

Kind Regards,
FlyingV
(aka 3W - 2DMC - 4 - 1)

I've just played the champions semifinals against an opponet with my same quality playing the narrow diamond.

I won both mathes, 2-1 away and 4-0 home, using the butterfly

Using butterfly? it's not make sense.

Using butterfly? it's not make sense.

Of course it doesn't make sense.
I'm really sorry, I wanted to answer to another post on 4-5-1v!

I won both matches of quarter-finals, 2-1 away and 4-0 home, using the butterfly, against a 4-5-1 V style!

In the first leg of semifinals I won 2-0 away against a narrow diamond using a 3-1-4-2.
This evening I'm going to use the same module at home.

Sorry for the mistake
