Defending

[dannyboy50]

I am playing as Leeds United and im having defensive issues.

We are winning, yes, but keep conceding goals.

I've only been playing for three games and we've won all three but we've won 3-2, 4-2, and 5-2.

I'm using a 4-4-2,

Goalkeeper
Right back automatic
Leftback automatic
Centre backs Defend
Right winger Attack
Left winger Attack
CM1 Defend
CM2 Support
ST1 & 2 Advanced forward Attack

I'm using press more closing down and more direct passing and have a normal defensive line.

Any idea's??

use this tactic mate, its the one i am using at the moment and i have won 8 trophies in 2 years
you need to have a quick defender to"cover" and i strong defender to "stopper"
let me know how it works, might upload them if it works

i change from attacking too standard and guage how it goes for the 1st 25 min or so then change to either counter or attacking depending. i am all about team talks (thats how it get the results) you need to read this...
