Ok, so i have been tweaking around FM10 and i realised that my theory works even on fm 10, i had played fm08 and fm09 using this defensive theory and conceeded less than 15 goals a season.
Basically my 2 centrebacks have this strange combination that works perfectly. But the centrebacks have to have good attributes of heading, first touch, aggression, tackling and etc. They only need to have the key attributes, Pace, acceleration, passing and etc. are not important.
So the formula is one defender man marks, while the other marks zonal. Both must have tight marking on. How it works? Defender A sticks onto forwards whilst Defender B marks players who come into that area of the field. And during this marking, through balls are snuffed out by the zonal marker, and oncoming player runs are stopped and intercepted by the Man marker.
Simple yet effective. Both defenders are normal centreback with defend duty, not ball playing,sweeper or etc.
Try it and please let me know if it doesnt work, i want to perfect my centreback pairing.
Closing down,mentality and creative freedom are the same levels, which is 4 or 5.
A good helpful guide,however im very happy with my own methods at the moment (see screenshot) If i start to struggle though ill certainly give it a bash.
Closing down,mentality and creative freedom are the same levels, which is 4 or 5.
But just to clear it up, my fullbacks are on zonal marking, no tightmarking and have Closing down, and mentality 10.
its the amount of clicks when you view the tactics in advanced mode. eg. 10 means clicking the closing down 10 times to the rightWhat do you mean by closing down of 10 , 4 or 5?
Yeah I've been using similar philosophy of this kind of defense..
There is one trouble though.
The zonal defender is often like space out and stop marking anybody and just stand there.
I know he's zonal, but when a guy is in his zone he will automatically mark him, right?
But instead he just stand there and let the guy run pass his shoulder.
Anyone got any clue on this?
Should I just don't tight mark or more closing down or what?
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
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.
