1) My wingers dont track back beyond the half way line. This often lead to 2 v 1 (opp. FB and Winger vs my FB).

I tried setting their CD to 14, def mentality, back arrow but still ...

my formation: 4-5-1

X X ----> AML/R

2) Both my AML/R hardly get involve in the attacking build up. The passes they made are usually less than 25, compare to DMC/CM with at least 50 passes. They are often out in the wide areas by their own. I've tried adjusting the width and their FWR. Things just didnt work.


Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I am pretty sure that there will be more changes to closing down and mentality settings with the new patch when it comes out. I went on to the web to look for interviews with Miles, etc and it would appear that there are a few things they are going to change with the match engine.

On saying that, I'm not sure if this is related to your problem but I am having some real difficulties with some of the clashes between some of the sliders for my wingers and full-backs and it may be related to your issue.

So, by all means make some tactical changes, but it is only a matter of a few weeks before the patch comes out. Look at the obvious settings like:

- mentality (is this setting too high towards attacking?)
- passing focus (is it set to middle, down both flanks or mixed?)
- have you set a playmaker that is in the middle of the park?
- is the tempo too low? If it is, the wingers will be easily marked out of the game

Failing these, wait a few weeks before making wholesale changes to your tactics.

Have you asked them to man mark the opposition wingers, this makes them track back.
