create a tactic... Right now you are using a default one. It is quite hard to make a tactic and quite hard to understand but if you follow what I have to say I hope it helps =)

Do you know how to create a tactic? It is quite time consuming I have to warn you first but here is the most important thing about it.

Did you know that at "tactics" you can Move the WHITEBALL (white dot in the middle) to different squares? You start of with the whiteball in the middle and you can move that white ball.

You arrange your players where you want them to be when the ball is at that position.

Keep a straight line defence it usually works. =)


If you still dont know how to create a tactic, give's a shout in here!

of course i know that, i creat a tactic with only a striker (he is generally a defender) with tragic striker, but this man shot from nearly the half-line and scored
what i want now is a tactic instruction for a draw, i plan to take all players always behind the half-line, is that right?

It's an interesting situation. I've never attempted something like that (intentionally drawing a weaker side). I would probably have approached it similar to what you did last week.

What you could try is moving the #11 player off to the side (a wing position). I think it's a good idea to keep one player high, so that your midfielders will attempt outlet passes (otherwise they might decide to dribble their way to the other end). If #11 is wide, he will be harder to hook up with, and his opportunities will be lower quality (he's also more apt to make back-passes). Play a low technique player there, and he should get very few opportunities at goal.

I suppose another option is to put everyone in a corner and ditch the game entirely. The intentional draw is a more interesting challenge. :)

in my situation now a draw is much more difficult to get than a win:p
last sunday, i took this player as a striker
Darren Morrison, age 30
value: 85 200 NZ$, wage: 1 320 NZ$
incredible form

poor stamina, tragic keeper
hopeless pace, solid defender
hopeless technique, tragic playmaker
solid passing, tragic striker

you can see, low pace, technique, striker, his striker ability is obviously terrible, but how can he score 5 goals, many of it came from near the half line
now what i can do to prevent him from shooting to opponent's goal
and what should i do with other 9 field player

Hes a natural born striker!

maybe some of that hidden talent ;) but thats really quite amazing..

shocking really

Make a super defensive tactic. Bunch all your players in your own half at all times.

yeah, i thought about this, but my situation is that i cant lose, just a draw can help me, and if i take an ultra defense tactic, the ball cant be taken over the half line, and my opponent can score a goal :p
what i want is a tactic with high possession but no goal at all for both teams :p
there're 3 days left

click for a inspired tactic that should help you in your 'ever victorious' ways. Click on Home at the top right to see gibbage played one too :D

but i just need a draw, not win or lose

then do what tong said. everyone back at the box, with the right orders though. you'd have to be incredibly lucky to score

i still won 1-0, omg, theres only one more match to the judgement day, you can see my match, barhilo, how can i do better

One thing left to do, put everybody inside the box, keep them inside there! :P

i dont think that would be a good solution, from the looks of it, his player(s) have too much tech.

Schoolboy tactic (everyone around the ball at all points) would be the best. I played it against a new team and lost 3-0, not to mention it is very tiring for the players.

Might be worth a shot, tho I suspect you'd see a result similar to this past week where the herd muscles it's way to a couple of goals.

I'd be tempted to try something like this:

X............................X
................................
................................
................................
................................
................................
.........X........X...........
....X..X..X..X..X.X.......

With two outlet guys (who would be open out that wide) I think it's much less likely the back 8 would dribble the length of the field. Those long passes are very difficult to complete - there would be a lot of turn-overs. Even if the two wingers did get the ball and get down the field (use your lowest tech players) with noone in the box they are likely to send the ball back out.
