People often say that if you are playing an 'attacking' starting strategy, to change it to 'control', when you take the lead. To control the game, obviously. So, what do you switch to if you are already on 'control' when you take the lead?

Thanks :D
 
Depends if I'm winning 1 - 0 or 3 - 0.. I leave the game as it is no matter what in the first half but if I'm leading 1 - 0 after 60 or so minutes, I'll go to attacking to try and add another, more often than not, it works but there is obviously a risk. If I'm winning by 2 or more goals I just leave it as it is.
 
What i do is i leave first half with Attacking, no matter what...then if it becomes 1-0 at half time, i encourage my players to get more goals and extend it.

However, if i'm in control 3-0 up by HT then i would make my team pass the ball around, keeping possession which means my players will not tire out as easily and keeping it cool but i only do this at teams with good composure. If i know they will fail under pressure then i just go for attack anyways.
 
I usually change to counter, in order to counterattack the opposition who are throwing themselves forward and leaving gaps at the back.
 
None. If I play with wingers I put their ment. on defansive and pressing on my own half. Without wingers, I change my formation if i score in big game. But, if you want to change, I suggest to change to counter or defensive ( with counter "ticked").

if im better than the side, equal to the side and at home i switch to attack and destroy, otherwise i switch to counter an watch my wingers dance inside and score
 
I usually don't have time to do anything before they equalize :P
 
I generall leave it on control, but at the start of the match my team instructions are Get Ball Forward and Hassle Opponents
I generally leave it like that until half-time to see if i can build on the lead, but in the sewcond half i switch to Retain Possession, seems to do the trick quite nicely...
