Help, I am currently Arsenal and am in my first season.

I am good at attacking and score lots of goals however I concede alot.

Can anyone provide me with hints or tips for a stronger defence.

I have the defence as Zonal marking, does this matter?

Cheers

on that note is there a way to man mark(not just saying you want one of the opposition players marked) soz for hijacking the thread.

Bradfield1982 : There are many, many things that can influence the defense. Check out the tactics forum and look in the Tactics Bible thread. Alot of good info in there

davids 424: Yes just set Marking to Man in Team Instructions.

this might sound stupid lol but after doing that how do you set what player marks a specific oppostion player

mattyeee

for some reason, i dont why this isnt possible u cant do it to a specific player on player marking e.g tell player x to mark player y, but u can go to oppostion player when in the match and set one their players to be marked tightly, the way i try and get round it is say if its there amc id tell my dmc to tight mark him and set on the opposition amc for tight marking, btw i may have confused you there lol,

If you concede early in a game after half an hour sometimes its best to have a defensive mid and an attacking mid (thats if you start with basic 4-4-2), that way you can do a diamond and the attacking mid can go for an equaliser.
