never used hassle-wouln't it tire the players quicker? I get success with retain possession, pass to feet, work ball into box and stay on feet to reduce fouls-I use it with a quick tempo too

No. I don't like the idea of looking like sam allardyce on the touchline

I normally use at least- Keep Possession, Pass to Feet and Work Ball Into Box. An attractive style of football

Well if I have fast strikers then I would usually use Pass into Space, just to make my team play more through balls

I take it this feature isn't available when playing games using the basic text commentary?

retain possession, pass into space
Aren't they a bit contradictory?

I normally have 'work ball into box' if I am having too many long shots. 'Pass into space' if they have slow defenders, exploit the flanks if they are a using narrow formation/don't have good fullbacks and when I'm trying to hold a lead change strategy to standard and shouts 'retain possetion', 'pass to feet' and 'drop deeper'. Their use is very situational, but each of them has their place.

Retain possession, pass to feet and work ball into box are my standards. Play wider or narrower depending on the opposition.

I always use Retain Possesion and exploit the flanks . If I have a strong midfield, with both holding/passing qualities, I use exploit the middle and work the ball into box !

The shout 'hassle opponents', have you find that the players get tired faster ?
