I've been getting the hang of Carcassonne over the past month but I am still having trouble understanding the strategy and scoring of fields. I understand that you get 3 points for fields surrounding completed cities like this

X () X () X

but what if my marker is away from those tiles but connected by contiguous fields? Do those field tiles score or just the ones with a city in and next to them? For example, let's say there's a two tile city; then there's a cloister north of it and then a field/road tile in which I have my marker in the field.

How does this score and is that not the right place to put my marker to score field points?
