Looking for advice on a simple problem:

Whenever one of my forwards has the ball and runs towards the opposing goal, the other forward(s) trail FAR behind him, rather than in-line with him as he moves. I've set up my advanced formations to have the forwards lined up with the ball (in attacking half of the field, at least) and I have tried the tactics slider for forwards in several different spots. Nothing I try seems to fix this.

I either get the lone forward trying to beat 3-4 defenders, or I get 2-3 forwards all going a mile offside every time my team gets the ball.

I see this working well for lots of teams (most of the teams that rack up 30+ shots against me, for example...), so I know I'm missing something pretty basic here... Any suggestions?

Put the other forwards one move ahead the one who has the ball, not in line. 21/07/2015 14:58

Ah, OK. Interesting, thanks! I am pretty sure I used to do that all the time, but changed my approach when everyone seemed to be using OT.

So do you generally place one attacker right on the ball & the other(s) ahead, or do you have all your forwards one move ahead of the ball?

1 ahead the ball when I attack.

Cool, thanks again.

I will probably be back soon with defense questions.
