Asunto: Tactics advice

So in this case,
----X1-X2------X3
X4

Whos a midfielder and whos a forward?
From my understanding X1, X2 and X4 are forwards, no?

x1 and x2 are forwards when you try to play with 2 attackers x3 and x4 are midfielders

----X1-X2-X3---X5
X4

when you play with 3 attackers x1,2,3 are ATT,x4 and 5 are midfielders,that's better in my opinion;)

This is the friendly i played today:

I played 4-1-2-3...
How come, I got the same defense rating as when playing 3-4-3?

Shooting: adequate
Passing: average
Defense: poor

Ratings aren't affected by what formation you play, they're only affected by the quality of the players who do the majority of that particular action.

t's look good but when you attacking i think your defenders must be 1 or 2 sectors higher;) you have a chance to catch your enemy on the offside;]

ONLY do that if you have fast defenders (relative to your opponents). Otherwise you'll let up a LOT of break-aways if you face a team with faster strikers than your defenders and who has any mids or defenders with good PM and passing.

Well, wouldn't playing with 4 defenders give a better rating than with 3?
According to what ur saying, u could play with 10 defenders and get the same rating.

no you would get a higher ranking

if all of your defending is done in the midfield and your average midfielder has only average defending you will get a ranking of average

if all of your defending is done by defenders and thier average rating is solid you will get a rating of solid

so if you play only players who are good at defending, you will get a higher rating

it is the average skill of ALL tackles, ALL passes and ALL shots, no matter who does them that is presented

that's right,but i think rates of all formations are not very important,very often one team which has worse rates than other team is a winner.


For example:

I won this match because I create a great tactic,i think that's most important thing.
(editado)

What criteria should I look from my opponent tactic in order to exploit his weakness? I really need some critical advice for my upcoming match. Please help me ....

he plays with a standard tactic, so you know every position of his players.

but I don't know where should I put to get it most effective?

you should looks a lot of the opponent games , to see if he changes players-tactics ... this isn't easy at all for a new user but the most important is to fix your team tactic at first according to your players , believe in your tactic and with the time you will be better coach ;)

*i believe that the first thing for you is to create some tactics ,learn from them playing some games ,fix them according your players(don't forget the pops of your players) and later you will be able to close down an opponent .

Maybe you guys misunderstood me. I mean what should I look for in my opponent team, and then according to that how should I place my players?
For example if my opponent' strikers are high, I could use offside trap, blala

check where his players run.
Is the space on the wing, or next to his one central defender, ... Same for his strikers: where do they run, so I can block them.

So put my defenders in exactly where his strikers is, and put my strikers in space that is not occupied by his defenders?

exactly :)
