3-1 WIN.
http://i43.tinypic.com/6tpmpx.png
Thanks to all that commented on the earlier thread when I posted that narrow diamond is not working vs 4-4-2 classic anymore. It inspired me enough to go 3N-0-4-1-2, attacking, mixed attack, whole pitch, normal tackle, mixed passing, zonal with no counter, no offsides. (info for those who want it for future use.)
I wonder if 3-4-1-2 is the new narrow diamond v 4-4-2?
HAHAHA man i posted a lot of reply how that formation win 4-4-2 ... except the one who donate more then you :)
Congratulation for your Champions League !
Congrats for you CL. :)
Let's agree to disagree. It worked "fine" for me this season. :DQuote:

Congratulations & You're welcome.
The choice for me when playing against 4-4-2 classic sometimes is 3-5-2 Flat and try to win the midfield battle.
^ July Fourth won me my first Champions League.
Indeed, it was your post that made me think about it. Thanks.Quote:

I still dont understand how narrow diamond beats 4-4-2 since n.diamond is 2 mid + 2 down the middle where 4-4-2 is overall better in midfield.
Hence my decision to go 3-4-1-2, which is practically 3-5-2. I want to win midfield and possession.Quote:

anyways, I've noticed lately that the narrow diamond works very well against 4-4-2 :S
I'm using the 4-1-2-1-2N against a
DR------DC-----DL
DMR-----------DML
------CM--CM------
--------AMC--------
-----ST-----ST-----
I can't use my usual 4-5-1V
They've made the 4-4-2 too strong now.
Congrats to You to man. Well done. Waiting for win mine too, maybe next season.Quote:

Thank you
Next season lets hope I don't get the strongest opponent in the whole damn tournament when I'm away and can't play haha. :D
I won - My formation/tactics/players/hair colour was the deciding factor.
I lost - Asian ghost team/match engine/server error/opponent's shirt colour f*cked me up.
Why do I still read these forums??
Hahahaha! this post should be the boarder of this forum :DQuote:

So formations are still relevant, it just doesnt matter if you change it after the game starts.
congrats Uni!
And this is where i disagree.Quote:

And yes sure, i COULD have won 4-0 no matter what, i'm not arguing about that. But on several occations i've noticed that switching things around a little (or alot...) has changed the match and has been very good for my team. Last one i remember was a game i was struggling against a pretty weak team in my league who was playing 4-4-2 classic. I eventually switched to Narrow Dia (you know - the one the whiners say doesn't work anymore since they probably lost ONE game trying it. Newsflash: playing any "counter formation" isn't an "I-Win" button either......), and got a comfortable win in the end.
sure, the possession bar/meter during the game coupled with the improving commentary gave you the impression that your changes actually did something positive. You go on believing that you actually did something. That is your right. You switched your formation and the possession bar changed accordingly. That does nothing to change the results that were determined beforehand. Nice try though.Quote:
