Any tactics to discuss? After looking over my games and several others today I have several points that I would like to bring up, some of these may seem obvious, some may already be implemented, but here they are nonetheless.


1. Man to Man doesn't always do your defenders justice rating-wise, my CDF barely made a mistake and scored 11 points lower than his average, about 15 lower than where I'd have put him, although in that same game he conceded a penalty, none of my other defenders did and they earned similar ratings.

2. Zonal defense when your opponents offense can easily outrun you, man to man the rest of the time. (Speed = good)

3. Man to Man works best when defending a formation that makes use of places where you are not, but use cautiously, as it can easily bring you out of position.

4. Zonal defense works best if you have a strong Ball Steal and a very strong Aggression

5. Although Aggression will give you fouls, they are often easy to defend against and can often lead you out of bad situations

6. Low Aggression will make you lose the ball regardless of Strength. (not totally confirmed)

7. Short Passes work best when your midfield and offense have low dribbling or high passing

8. Generally short passes work better. (not totally confirmed)

9. Counterattacks work well when defense is man to man and slower than your offense; short passes give them a chance to regroup. However use this with caution as short passes often prolong attacks, tiring the defense and making it even easier to walk through.

10. Advanced formations can be used to create holes in your formation that opponents try to accentuate but can be filled, leaving your opponent with various weakpoints for you to find.

11. If each position isn't planned out in an advanced formation obvious holes can appear (like defense running towards the sidelines when the ball is coming at the goal...)\


More to be coming, but critique and add your own as you see fit.

rating doesn't matter...only analyze the playing of your team. If you're satisfied with what they're doing on the field then you're good, if you think they're doing something wrong then fix it.

8-i disagree. short passes work better if your midfield players have good passing.

be very careful with advanced formations. Don't test out new things on strong teams, test on weaker teams and implement on stronger teams. You dont want to lose points because of testing.

Also, you'll have to develop your own theories on what works and what doesn't, so test out in your easy league games. No one will tell you everything they know about tactics/formation (not even me )

Yeah I agree with that

Something which I learned last Sunday

Also I think counter attack should only be used when you are few goals ahead, so you have more players on your half side, making it difficult for opponent and when your opponent tries desperately to score few goals you may get a chance to directly pass the ball to your striker and score.

For defense man to man seems to work pretty well, but when ever the team has a forward playing IM or an OM my CDF always gets stuck to him and the CF is wide open in the box. 22/09/2011 15:23

I agree, I've been testing mainly with zonal it seems to work well enough and gets around the problem of 3 attackers vs my 2 defenders. 22/09/2011 15:33

My DFM solves that problem, also have him doubling as IM/OM on attacking drives so it works pretty well.
