Tactics & Training Tips

It's no use having a squad full of star players without a decent way for them to play their football.

Default When to use a Sweeper

I will be starting with a really low team in croatian second division with a very weak squad, that is 2000 to one to win promotion.
Am I best advised playing with a sweeper in a defensive formation?

What are you trying to achieve? Do you want to set up a really defensive formation, where you just want a back 4 that stays in place? Are you looking to create a defensive formation with 5 at the back? Do you want to play cautious football and grind out results?

It all depends...you can build a really cautious team with a sweeper....but ultimately you need to decide what's the best thing for yourself..if your team only has 2 really good dcs then you can't possibly play with a sweeper can you. You will need 3 good defenders before you can even think of a sweeper style formation. Furthermore...the sweeper needs to be a good outlet to distribute balls so his passing must be good as well.

What's the point of having a sweeper..when he can't pass the ball...a sweeper style formation needs to have a quick counter

I have the worst squad in the whole second divison, and do not have any quality anywhere. I want to play cautious and grind out results. I was figuring if I could just find a quality sweeper, would that be enough for me for a real defensive formation? Or do I have to look for better defenders before I consider a sweeper?

If you have a really poor squad, and you play with a sweeper you could make things very difficult for yourself. Unless of course you want to play with a 532. Personally I haven't been playing much with a 532.
