Asunto: Tactics advice

I would say:

- Make sure your 4 defenders (numbers 2, 4, 5, 7) always play at 1 line, not 1 in front of the others.
- When the ball comes closer to your keepers-area, put the defenders closer to each other, and when the ball is in your keepers-area put more players in your keepers-area. Think like real soccer, it's always busy around a keeper with defenders and def-midfielders when the ball is that close too your own goal.
- Put at least 1 striker closer to the goal of the opponent, right on top of his keeper, when the ball is in the keepers-area of the opponent.
- When the ball is in the corner of the opponent don't let your strikers go for the ball but 1 of the wingers, put the strikers in the keepers-area of the opponent.

Take a look at this tactic to see what I mean with defenders at 1 line and closer to each other when the opponent comes closer to your goal, more players in your own keepers-area when the ball is close to your own goal, mid-wingers in the corners in stead of strikers and all strikers in the keepers-area of the opponent when the ball is also in the keepers-area of the opponent:


(I don't mean to copy this tactic completely, but you can use it as an example and change the things you think that will be better for your own players :))

EDIT: you can also use Apollo (zip) to find the best line-up, with the help of 'squad'.

I am thinking like real soccer. That's why i have one player in another spot prepared if the opponent passes the ball or something? Does it work like that or no ? :P

Yeh, that's how it works :) Think ahead if the ball is at a spot, specially when your players are moving forward.

If you move the ball in your tactic slowly from your keepers-area to the opponents keepers-area, then you can see to which players the ball can be passed when a player of yours is at the same spot as the ball at that moment. And when you move the ball back to you own keepers-area you can see how your players can intercept the ball.

And the faster your players are, the more distance they can run in your tactic and still keep the tactic intact, and ofcourse, if your players aren't that fast yet, they should not run that much distance because they will never make it to their new spot in your tactic and your tactic will become unorganized. That's not that much of a problem when you are playing on the half of the opponent, but on your own half this would become a problem for your defense. And also if your players aren't that fast yet, specially the DEFs, make sure they aren't playing too far away from each other as the strikers of the opponents will use those gaps.

A good thing is your number 3, he will make sure the DEFs behind him won't step out and leave big gaps in your defense. But your wing-DEFs are moving forward when the ball is on your half, so the wing-MIDs of the opponents will be completely free to receive passes and run to the cornerflag and give assists to the ATTs. And when you play on the half of the opponent, at least 1 of your strikers can play more forward.

Thank you, I have modified every thing you've told me :)

Is it better this way? http://screencast.com/t/qYRrkG9t

I think it looks better now :)

A few thing:
When the ball is in your own keepers-area, I would put the numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 (and maybe also number 8) even closer to each other and around your keeper. Make it really crowd around your keeper so the ATTs won't receive assists that easily, and this is also good to prevent goals from cornerkicks.

Your number 3 could move a bit more from left to right, really following the position of the ball, when the ball is on your own half (specially in the second line on the pitch, counted from below).

And also on your own half, the numbers 4 and 7 sometimes aren't in 1 line with the other DEFs when the ball comes really close to your keepers-area (in the second line on the pitch, counted from below). I won't do if I were you because the ATTs of the opponents won't be offside anymore and because of that they can move quite freely behind your main defensive line.

When the ball is in the upper corners on the opponents half, left and right, make sure a second MID (number 8 for example) is closer to the numbers 6 and 9 to receive throw ins. That will give you much more assists ;D

Done done done :) http://screencast.com/t/CPLx9RHS any last advices? Thanks Chuck :P

I think this is ok :) Test the tactic in your upcoming match and make the necessary changes if you see things happening that could be better.

Ofcourse this tactic can work out great against 1 opponent but not so well against another opponent. So it's a smart idea to have at least 2 tactics, this way also you can surprise the opponent with another tactic that he/she didn't expected ;)

Great :) i have some other tactics, i'll refine them and ask for your advice, thanks so much :)
