The 4-1-2-1-2 (2) formation, commonly known as the "narrow diamond", is one of the most balanced and versatile formations in EA FC 24. Similar to the 41212 formation, it just has all the right ingredients: one holding midfielder (CDM), two central midfielders (CM), one attacking midfielder (CAM), and two strikers (ST).

Defence

• Defensive Style: Balanced

• Width: 40

• Depth: 55

Offence

• Build Up Play: Balanced

• Chance Creation: Direct Passing

• Width: 45

• Players in Box: 7

• Corners: 2

• Free Kicks: 2

You are going to want to use balanced on the defensive style, the width is where you can kind of gauge, go all the way down to 40, the reason is because defending is hard, you don't want your left back and your right back being miles away from your center backs at all, you want them nice and compact. You can afford to be a little bit more aggressive with the defensive depth, so go with 55. For the offence, go with the build up play balanced, the chance creation is for direct passing. Now the 4121(2) narrow, low the width down to 45, even though it is a bit of a narrow formation. We want to let left center mid and right center mid to be a little bit closer to cam and the two strikers, we want them in a triangle line, so that's why we go down to 45. Players in the box all the way up to 7. The more players that we have in the box, the more likely we are to score a goal. Lower your corners and free kicks, down from 3 and 3 to 2 and 3, it will stop you getting counterattacked on a lot.

Best FC 24 41212(2) Instructions

- Striker: Stay Central, Get in Behind, Normal Interceptions, Basic Defence Support

- Defensive Mid: Balanced Defence, Stay Back While Attacking, Normal Interceptions, Cover Center, Stick to Position

- Central Mid: Balanced Attack, Balanced Crossing Runs, Normal Interceptions, Stick to Position, Cover Center

- Attacking Mid: Stay Forward, Get into the Box for Cross, Stick to Position, Normal Interceptions

- Full Back: Stay While Attacking, Normal Interceptions, Mixed Attack, Stick to Position

- Goalkeeper: Comes for Crosses, Sweeper Keeper

The first thing you're going to want to do on your two strikers is if you have them both on stay central, the next thing you're going to want to have them on is getting behind. Stay central and getting behind on the two strikers brings us nicely on to the cam - the most important player in the 41212 narrow. We have the cam on stay forward and get into the box for cross. That brings us nicely on to the left center mid and the right center mid. Both of them are just on cover center, so they are both on completely default set, put them on cover center. The CDM is then on stay back while attacking and cover center, that will not change for FC 24. Then use both left back and right back on stay back while attacking, because on FC 24 at the minute the hardest thing is defending, so we need to get our defensive structure, because defending is a little bit harder than it was last year, we're going to have a lot more joy going forward anyway. So we don't really need to flood the box with midfielders and fullbacks and everything just yet hence why left center mid and right center mid aren't on get into the box across, that then brings us nicely onto the goalkeeper, he is on comes for crosses and sweeper keeper.
