Default Question about defence

GK
DL-DC-DC-DR
DM-DM
MC
AML-AMR
ST

Thats the way I line up my formation.

I use these players solely for defensive duties

GK
DL-DC-DC-DR
DM-DM

and these for attacking

MC
AML-AMR
ST

I play my DC's on a very defensive mentality and my fullbacks on a normal mentality. I use zonal marking.

I also play my DM's very defensively and have them close down at every opportunity.

Setting up like this has caused me to conceed more goals than I would like at the beginning of the season with arsenal.

Can anyone suggest ways to improve my instructions for these players so that I dont conceed as many goals

whats your defensive line setting. If it's too low compared to the high closing down of your dm's (and other midfield players) then space appears between defence and midfield which can be exploited.

TBH I don't really know though, perhaps you should give more details of defensive ine, closing down etc.

It's dd because you are playing a very defensive formation.

Thanks for the response :thup:

Well my back four all have relatively low closing down as I wanted them to keep their shape as best as possible. My defensive line is set at push up but only because I have fast defenders who can deal with balls over the top.

Would you suggest playing a bit deeper??
