I am useing the complete dominance tactic on override attack
Would this be a problem allso how would u useyour defencive mid
As atm he runs of after the wingers to much leaving the CDs open for long shots
OK just played for 1 game following your pictures for my QPR save And useing complete domaniance tactic I won But watched the other team have 5 CCC
the attacker was finding space between both my defenders
i understand my defenders arnt the best only 14 each in marking and slow as ****
I was wondering what line you keep
And like my post above what your def mid does to help out
I would get totaly battered against celsea as the two attackers move about leaving BIG holes for lampard to kill me
I only played one game so cant give you a totaly true reading Its just what i saw on my 1st game
Any help would be good TA
Well.. I'm not using the CD tactic. I'm using my own Goals Galore. But I think it's a same issue in all.
Here's a problem with us, we set our mindset that defensive midfielder have to close down all the players in the field - thanks to Makalele's role.
But in FM, applying that kind of mindset added by the deafult setting of having DMCs closing down to whole pitch will destroy our defense, especially if we're up against wide-playing, long-shotting monsters like Chelsea with its Lampard or Gerrard in Liverpool.
So.. what you should to is lower down the DMC's closing down to right in the middle. That way he won't close down other wide players and leave big hole in the middle which will be exploited for long shots.
There are more tweakings especially against long shooters but it's too much to explain. It will applied differently to different tactics as it plays with mentality, marking, etc.
I would love it if you guys try it out yourself.. I can provide the tactic for you.
Attacking-wise currently I have 6-7 CCCs pergame and the opponent have almost none.
Their shots will mostly be long shots due to tweaking of mentality, closing down, marking, etc which I partly talked about above.
Just look at this
PM me if interested.
Try setting the zonal defender to Cover, on very high closing down. and make sure he has enough pace to keep up with the striker.
If you got Defend role but tweaked in cover players instructions, it will be more or less the same right?
Will do on the high closing down.. but how much?
Middle of the bar, just at the end of own half, or whole pitch?
I'm using Rivas so pace and (important last man tackling) would not be a problem
