Never really played with this option in game yet, just wondered wot people do...ie if scout of next opposition picks up key player, wot instructions should i give?

For key players I always set closing down and tight marking to always and tackling to hard for that player.

I also tend to set all of the players to force onto their wrong foot and see if any players have got a bravery attribute of 5 or less and/or aggression of 17 or more to hard tackling.

The theory with that is that the cowardly players will be taken out of the game after a hard tackle or two and the aggressive ones will try to retaliate.

I have had some success, but some players can't be tight marked or forced onto their wrong foot.

i always set closing down on the opposite wingbacks to disable their build up from defence forward
