How to play the diamond in FC 27
Description
If you like combining through the middle with two strikers, this shows you how to play the diamond without getting stuck inside.
Two strikers, support close by and plenty of play through the middle, but no wingers. Chousita breaks down the 4-1-2-1-2 (2) in FC 27: which profile and PlayStyles each position needs, how to build with triangles instead of forcing the pass to the CAM, and how to attack depending on whether the centre-back jumps or the opponent sits deep.
What you will learn
- Set up the diamond's chain of support (CDM, CMs, CAM and two strikers) and its starting tactics.
- Which profile and PlayStyles you want in each position, with pace and finishing up front.
- Play out with triangles and change where the pass comes from when your opponent closes one side.
- Check whether your opponent has a CDM before looking for your CAM with a forward pass.
- Attack the space behind a centre-back who steps up, or gain ground when the block sits off.
Who it is for
For players who want to use the 4-1-2-1-2 (2). This is the free part; defending the wings is in Ā«Adapting the diamond to your opponentĀ».
When to use it
When you build your team around the diamond and in games where your opponent lets you play through the middle.
