Apart from arrows, creativity and forward runs .. how do you loose tight marking?
Even non-league players seem to stick to my players like glue regardless of instructions and even though I f.ex. may win 5-0 the match engine shows that my players seem to have extreme difficulties in passing their marker.
I played a non-league team for moraleboost .. McFadden from Everton did not pass his marker once .. some little fat boy without any stats at all, as matter a fact it seemed like McFadden always got scared .. turned around and made a panic pass backwards.
In the premier league its ofcourse even more difficult, I had to sell Osman simply because he couldnt do anything on his own and seemed scared every single time a defender got near him and the fact that he seemed to loose the ball constantly ... actually he didnt seem to be able to play football at all.
Especially wingers seem to suffer from this .. and it seems to me that only world class wingers like Ronaldo can actually loose their marker if tightly marked, the rest just turn and run, make panic passes or loose the ball.
Dunno, I've found that when I try to man mark opponents it only works if they are relatively slow players. Remember trying to mark Jermaine Defoe tightly when I had just got promoted to the EPL. The bastard scored four on me! And mind you, I think he got ten that whole season.
I think bravery is quite important for a player when he's getting love not given lightly so to speak. Unfortunately many of the fancy wingers out there are easily startled primadonnas not wanting to get their hair messed up.
