"The 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow meta is back, and we couldn't be more delighted. This diamond formation wasn't really favoured in the FC 25 meta, but it's having a bit of a resurgence. It's designed for players who want to dominate possession in the middle of the pitch, using quick passing and deep runs to open up their opponent's defensive line. Your CDM acts as an anchor to help control the play with two box-to-box central midfielders, while a creative CAM acts as a Shadow Striker."
"Two strikers up front are able to play off one another or hold up the ball for midfield reinforcements. As the name suggests, the formation is tight, so if the ball is overturned, the CDM should be sitting in the passing lanes waiting for the right ball to intercept. This formation really only works if you have good fullbacks and a talented CDM for cover."
The 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow diamond focuses on central control through quick passing and deep runs to break defensive lines. A CDM provides an anchor to control play and intercept passes while two box-to-box central midfielders support both attack and defense. A creative CAM acts as a shadow striker to exploit spaces between lines. Two strikers can combine, play off one another, or hold up the ball for midfield reinforcements. The shape is tight and vulnerable to attacks down the flanks, so strong fullbacks and a defensively capable CDM are essential. Recommended settings favor counter build-up, a high defensive line, and a sweeper keeper.
