1st thing we need to remember :
Quote
  • The football pitch is big,11 man (include GK) is not enough to cover all the area.
  • If you strong on this side,you will be weak in other side.
  • That means if you team strong on the wing,your will be weak in centre.
  • If you got more man in centre,the wings will be a weakness.
  • you got more man at the back,your will got less man upfront.
  • player need space to attack,so its always : space,player run into space,another space exists,player move into space,another space exists.......
There is a few step:
1) What happen on the pitch
You need to know what happen,so watch the game at least in comprehensive highlight.
1st step,1st thing to learn,look at AI's defensive line.
Its high or low ?
In my view play against an attacking AI,is easier than a defensive AI.

You need to know where is AI's CD standing,& where is AI's FB.

2) How to adjust the tactics,& why do this.

You need to see a weakness in the AI and then make changes to exploit it.

IF AI pushing their defensive line up high,like Liverpool or City.
this is how i always do,attacking from deep :

  • my defensive line is start with normal or low,play out of defend,standard or counter mentality & structured.
  • I will use a poacher or AF upfront.Poacher or AF is great for this kind of situation.
  • two CM should "Hold The Line",Hold position don't go forward.& direct passing for one of the CM.
  • Wingers with attacking or support roles,use attacking role if AI's defensive line very very high,support role if medium high.
  • don't closing down or marking to much,normally i just keep the default.
& you will get some one on one chance.
3) Which kind of player should i use.
one of the CM should be a great passer and good vision.
ST should be quick & good finishing.
winger should be quick,& good crossing.


There is more than just look at defensive line if you play this way.
But look at defensive line is 1st step.

& play against a defensive AI,is harder to explain.
