Tactics & Training: The " I have a small question " thread

still shakey against stronger teams.and by stronger i mean man utd or real madrid.i know its a lot to ask from my boys but still i think i have a good enough of a team to beat em.won 1-0 at bernabeu but then lost heavily against man utd.i wanted to make a tactic that i can tweak using shouts.what i want is good defensive tactic drawing the other team in my half before a fast counter using my wingers and AMC that i can tweak whenever i play a team thats weak against attacks through the middle.any suggestions?
 
Why i cant make a 4231 deep with AMC is the playmaker works?
it never works for me
 
Question to those that have had success using a 4-2-3-1 formation, what roles did you give your 2 MCs? e.g ball winner and playmaker etc

  • Ball Winning Midfielder (Support), Advanced Playmaker (Support)
  • Ball Winning Midfielder (Defend), Advanced Playmaker (Support)
  • Ball Winning Midfielder (Defend), Ball Winning Midfielder (Support)

  • Deep Lying Playmaker (Support), Ball Winning Midfielder (Defend)
  • Box to Box Midfielder (Support), Ball Winning Midfielder (Support)
  • Central Midfielder (Automatic), Central Midfielder (Defend)

Quite a few more combinations, but those are commonly used.

How long does it take for a preferred move to be trained?

Thanks :)

3-5 months.
 
can anyone tell me what's the different between Attacking midfielder, advanced playmaker, and treq on the AMC position ?? My AMC are Douglas Costa,David Silva, Renato Augusto, Lucas and I don't know which role to use!
 
Hi guys, well... I am having a problem here, I download any tactics and it is working very well, but there is a problem, I can't change my team instructions, the buttom is gray like I can't press it, can someone help me please? This problem only occurs when is a downloaded tactic in use.

Thank you in advance guys...
 
hey guys i just brought neven subotic for my liverpool save , im playing with my friend doing network play but im having troubles with him , as you can see his concentration is a 9 and i really want to sort this out because i hear good this about him in threads ...does anyone know if he gets better as he play alone or is there any way of training him on that ??? im thinking of getting kjear because hes making mistakes i play his as cover if anyone can give me any advice i would much appreciate it thanks !!!
 
Opposition instructions question.How important are they? Is there some sort of repository somewhere that contains the best instructions against the bet players? I tend to wing it, and have done so very successfully, but im in a promotion battle at the moment, playing with QPR first season, and we are leaking goals.

I am first in the league at the moment, however, through 28 games, we have scored 64 and let in 40. 64 is the highest tally in the league, however, 40 allowed is also amongst the highest. Im not looking for tactical advice, im wondering what others do for opposition instructions and how important they are. Can they make or break a game?

Sorry if I explain this hard.. my english isn't world class :D... Those red and green arrows you can find by ticking 'Show recent attribute changes' from players pages right up corner (should be the same at mac ? ). And then to the OIs. It all depends from your tactic. I give you few examples so you get this. If you play against weaker team and really want to press them when you loose the ball you should think to close down these positions (dlr,dc,dm,mc) so they have little time to try start the attack. Then if you play with stopper cover combo you really don't want to tight mark that cover players striker 'cause then he would be out of position all the time. You really got to think your tactic, how well you think your going to play against that certain team and what are there advantages ... If example you are looking to press them hard but know they have very threatening winger and they got a big target picking up his crosses you should looking to tight mark this player or if he has huge speed advantage the you should close down on him maybe tackle hard and show to wrong foot. If all this sounds too much work you can download this and try it. I never personally have tried it but think that it might help.

It it worth using tight making ? i have read from some posts on other threads about the advantages of zonal/man marking but never really seen anything about tight marking im just wondering if its worth using as the way i would see it if you tight makred a player you could just get moved out of possition and make an easier scoring chance for someone else no idea if it translates into the game like that
 
This questions has two things in it. When I play formation without wingers, but mcr and mcl are moving in to channels so they will be on the flanks some time and lb is on support role making fwd runs is it any use to play Target man to head when theres no-one on the wing regulary. And the second part of the question ... will the big target get the ball to his head when playing with control tacticor will he be just useless ?
 
When playing with a target man with a poacher/ad St beside them what off the ball movment would you suggest 1 for the target man and 2 for the typicall pacer next to him
 
Had a quick look in search but can't find the answer to this
GK has weak rushing out, do I train him in quickness/ aerobic to improve this or is it covered in a different category?

Nevermind! found it. tactics.

I can never keep a clean sheet, my team concede bags of goals. I'm currently 4th in the Premier League but i'm conceding loads more than the others.

I play 1 defender stopper and 1 cover with 2 fullbacks set to support and a CM set as ball winning and defend.

This is my first choice back four. There average rating is quite high so there not performing badly, are they just not good enough or have i got my tactics wrong?

You should concentrate more to the midfield so you would control it. When you have control in midfield opposition has to start counter attacking and stopper cover combo should cover that pretty well.

So what do you suggest i have in midfield because i play a 442 the wingers pushed up and in midfield i have a ball winning midfielder and an advanced playmaker so do i need to change the Adv Playmaker?

i wouldnt say so no, i play 442 with ball winning midfielder defend and advanced playmaker attack in the middle.

your defense looks sound...who is the goalkeeper? maybe there is an issue there because i find the goalkeeper makes a huge difference in my 442

i also dont bother with the whole cover/ball winner combo in defence, i just have two central defenders on defend

John Ruddy/Ben Amos there ratings aren't bad but i guess i should buy a world class keeper now. Cheers for the advice pal.
