And so let the beast awaken! Here are a few shamelessly stolen ideas from me to get the ball rolling:
Opponent Player winning everything in the air: keep ball on the ground (short passing) / drop striker back a bit to pick up passes
Goalkeeper kicks immediately returned to won team - Keeper cannot kick accurately / Midfielders not tall enough to win headers: try short distribution to defenders
Player having a bad match: may be because he is stifled by opponent, so before subbing him, try changing his position, eg) switch strikers if fast striker up against a fast defender
Opposition player annoyingly creative/good on the ball: especially if he has low bravery, try putting an aggressive man-marker on him to win those 50-50 balls and stifle his time on the ball
Opposition defending like demons: consider playing less direct attacking and more counter attacking and hold up the ball in midfield to encourage the opposition to come out of their box
Creative players are being stifled: reduce their closing down so they are less likely to be near an opponent when your team regains possession
Opposition defense has too much time on the ball: obvious really but effective – increase closing down for your strikers and wingers to harass their players into errors
No doubt these are all stunningly obvious but never underestimate the power of stupidness!
I’m not particularly good at this game, a fact I’m not ashamed to admit, but oftentimes it leads me into very sticky situations where I cannot for the life of me work-out how to successfully counter an opponent’s tactic or player which or who is causing my team all manner of woes. So, in all my mouse-smashing, keyboard-bashing frustration I have decided to patch together this wee guide by blatantly pinching those ideas I have stumbled across in these forums and found useful and by asking, most humbly, for any helpful tactics tips anybody might like to post.
So please contribute with any successful ploys you may have encountered whilst playing. Without any help this is going to be impressively pathetic and a mockery of the word ‘ultimate’.
Im unavailable to create a flowing football as im using a short passing / narrow / Counter-attacking / slow game or either quick, wide, direct\mixed passing game
