Frei's DIAMONDloh(4-1-2-1-2) formation!! Simply Amazing


Hello everyone, this would be my first tactic contribution of cos i will be contributing even more if my tactic proves to be a success for everyone who are going to use my tactic. So far this tactic has been fantastic for me in Liverpool! Consistency which has lead me to 31games winning streak!

Finding the right players to slot into this tactic maybe rather tough. Recommend for midtable position onwards as i did not try on the lower half of the clubs with this formation.

Formation 4-1-2-1-2
A rather balanced formation favours to more attacking than defend.

Diamond formation would be really effective with squad with high determination and teamwork, those are the two key attributes that i always look out when signing players for my club and especially for this formation.

Im open to suggestions, feedbacks and please do comment on my tactics! Thanks!

I must say, this tactic is amazing so far. Im playing as QPR, second season. Been newley promoted to the PL. First match with your tactic i beat Chelsea 3-2 away from home. That was just my second victory from 15 games. Won the two next games, and just had a draw against Arsenal away from home. A match i could have won with som luck. Hit the crossbar, got denied a penalty and had at least two one-on-ones with Almunia.

Very impressed so far=)
 
Looks quality mate... i should of thought of this on my liverpool game! I will start a new game and give it a try
 
TheOpiate, thanks alot mate! Glad that it is really helping some of you here. Wow beating Chelsea is not easy at all. Good results there! If there is any problem regarding about the tactic, do let me know. I would be pleased to help |)

Mally please do try it out and let me know how it works =P
 
great tactic mate, been looking for a good narrow diamond formation and this works well for teams who has world class central mdfielders
 
Now my unbeaten run stopped on 6 matches, but Im happy with that. Lost 1-0 to Villa away, but it was a very even match. My squad is very young and got a lot of new players, so its hard to be consistent.

And now I got to play Man Utd away, then Liverpool at home in the next two matches=)
 
iv played pre season and three league games and i anihalated pre season lost to man utd in the community shield really dont know how lol and have beat wolves and burnly 1-0 have plenty of shots strikers just dont put them away and just my opinion i found it better if i didnt play ofside because chelsea havnt got the quickest cb so will update after a few more matches :)
