It didn't work for me. 9 games in, 7 conceded...which is below my average (23 in 38).

Does anyone else find that when tight-marking the ST's they seem to get in behimd a lot as your CB misses a interception to a through ball?

*behind ffs.

I can't see any reason why it won't work as you one defender will close the ball carrier and the other two will tight mark the strikers.

I don't have it happen as much any more using this.

I'll carry on experimenting to see if I can uncover some more optimal settings.

I get that alot as well and it often stems from me attacking. What happens is as I get back possession in my own half or clear my lines my centre halfs move forward and completely ignore the striker as follows:-

I’m West Ham. Reo Coker (no 20) tries a through ball to Castillo (my no 12) which was intercepted by Kroldrup. Look at where Yakubu (Middlesbrough no 20) and my centre half Daniel Agger (no 2) are.



Kroldrup’s interception lands at their guy circled in black who pings a through ball for yakubu as illustrated by the yellow arrow, who my centre half is completely oblivious to.



Is there anything I can do about this or is it, as I suspect, just the way defenders are programmed to behave (I've seen this with centre halves at all levels in the game).

I don't know what happened to those screenshots. I'll try again

doesnt the close down often in opposition instructions negate the 11 closing down you have normally?

thats how ive always seen it and ive never had any real success in england without setting closing down to high! @18 for my wingbacks!

Here's what happened for the second screenshot since I ballsed up the first post.

Kroldrup’s interception lands at their guy circled in black who pings a through ball for yakubu as illustrated by the yellow arrow, who my centre half is completely oblivious to.

Is there anything I can do about this are is it just the way defenders are programmed to behave.

I used the opposition instructions as you suggested Leroy, centre halves set to man marking. This isn't a criticism of your suggestions Leroy1883 as I have used alot of your other threads to great effect. I'm just curious as to whether this is just something that is uncontrollable i.e. centre halfs ignoring strikers when possession changes quickly.

Code

It's very important to not forget that you untick the offside trap if ticked - like me.
