I want some help creating a very defensive row of four defenders.

[Football Manager 2012]

Hello,

If I want my defenders to be as defensive as possible, should I keep my DR/DL as Full Backs and my DCR/DCL as Central Defenders?

And after that, what duty should I give them? Defend, support, attack, automatic? Defend, stopper, cover?

(We will talk about the tweaking instructions after this.)

Big thanks!

Fullbacks/defend, Normal Central Def. No Counter attack box ticked, rigid or very rigid

What formation are you using? give us some more tactical info.

4-2-3-1. But as said, I just want them as defensive as possible. So it should be the same with any 4-X-X, I guess.

Also, what do you think I should do about the offside trap?

When using the Offside trap, the team only as strong as the weakest link. Its also, goes hand in hand with à high d-line so it would depend on your players and your general style Of play.

Hm... About the Defensive Line... Where should I put the slider if I want it to be as defensive as possible?

Also, does the Defensive Line only affect the four defenders?
