HI,

Anyone has a tactic just for last 10-15 minutes when you are trying to defend your lead... Would save my PC from total demolition. Half of keys on keyboard don't work anymore and my hand is bleading...

No forward runs for defenders, narrow, tight marking, no long forward arrows, low closing down.

Increase timewasting and use substitution strategy as a way to waste time too

I am already doing most of this things, do you have any succesful combo? any specil tactic for last 10-15 minutes? If you do please send it over to me, so I can adjust mine.

closing down: all of your players close down rarely? or just defence?

I move my wingers into the WB poss, my only MC down as a DMC, my 2 AMC down to MC, and all very defencive, but playing direct passing and counter attack. Leaving my pacy SC alone on top.. No forward runs, tight marking and time wating.

Attack i find is the best form of defence.

I am strting to think the same...

just play more players defensively dare i say no strikers. When you do concede make a tally chart of where you letting in goals from this will quickly tell you which areas are being exploited and you can adjust your system to suit. May take a little time but well worth it when you crack it. As for attack being the best form of defense i know a lot of people agree with this but it is possible to build an amazing defensive system. I once finished a premier league season conceding only 3 goals (fm2005) so it can be done.

tips to have an invincible defense:
1) get good CB !!! Sell your star midfielder or attackers, CBs are everything
2) AlWAYS ATTACK, never play defensive, once you are leading by 1.
3) play 4-2-4 attack.

this has never failed for me. Considering the team i have- Lille, a mediocre team, I lead it to a treble the first season, and the European champion cup the next.

bottom line is, you are not going to have a good defense without good defenders, no matter how good your tactic is.
