I believe that the option to press in your own half is in the individual player instructions where you can set them to team, none or specific instructions.

If i am confusing this with what you can do on the PC then i apologise as I sometimes do this. Where this option is available then I press in my own half.

This is my next season and it's going great. I got two regular starting DMCs now, the one from last year and one who's been in the side for about three years already but never really performing well. This year though, he's been great. He took over the DMC spot after the winter (transfer listed but couldn't get a buyer) and now he's my regular starter, much to the chagrin of my former best DMC.

I'm currently 15 points clear of the number two in Serie A, with 6 games to go. With a very good goals conceded and goals scored record. I'm very happy right now

Key seems to be my back 3 (2DCs and DMC). They keep my defence solid as a rock, though I'm getting a lot of yellow cards these days (hard tackling and man marking for these three)

I set pressing to yes in the team orders and in individual orders I set some of the AMCs and one of the strikers to no, the rest on team/yes. It helps that none of my players have teamwork lower than about 12-ish.

Apart from the odd off-day (e.g. losing 3-0 to Inter), I'm having a beautiful season.

The only annoying thing is that I have so many international players, when the game mucks up the international planning, about half of my team (and at least 7 of my regular starters) are unavailable... So if there are no injuries or suspensions, I'm just about able to field a sensible team (you know, with defenders playing back and strikers/AMs up front...), though often not having enough sub players. If I have injuries though....

I am in my second season with Juventus. I play a normal 4-4-2. I have everyone but my back for pushing. Hard tackling. Emphasis normal. Everyone is on zonal marking. I have not lost with them and therefore have won everything i have entered (Serie 'B', Italian Cup and the Italian Super Cup). At right back it is DR left back D/AM L everyone but MR is AM LRC. My full-backs are on forward runs, run with the ball and crossing. I have scored 101 goals in Serie 'B' and conceded 9. And have conceded 6 so far in Serie 'A' having played 17 games and scored 31.

Further update: won the Serie A with 4 games in hand, and still in the running for the Italian Cup (finals coming up) and the Champs League. Not bad eh? Seems like everything's working like a charm now, scoring lots (on a par with the most productive sides in the league), conceding is minimal (on a par with Milan and Roma who are consistently the least conceding sides in my game).

Only minor gripe I still have is that while my defence seems supertight, the two DCs seem to get an occasional 5 score. Can't seem to place this well with the overall team performance. But as long as the entire team keeps up its performances, I'm not really complaining

Triggerusa: Bluetoonger has posted many details of his 4132 tactic. You can puzzle most of it together from the second post in this thread, amongst other places in this forum. As they say in the academic world: the rest is left as an exercise for the reader

I have most of the tactic......

Pressing in own half???
