how do you normally defend?

as in when the person passes to their striker, do you take control of the defender right behind him then sprint full force into his backside?

Erm,
I dont really have a style tbh, i usually just use strength to win the ball which Cris is fantastic at but Silva just seems to get pushed out of the way.
I have just bought Fabiano and Felipe so gonna have a game now.

Fancy one? because everytime i search keeps saying no opponents found :(

Whats the point in having pace if the cant defend?

lol, they are RB's and LB's they usually have to keep up with wingers and outmuscle them, if they are too slow, the wingers will fly past and you will get cut open.

if they are faster than the winger, they will be able to catch them and push them off the ball or tackle them.

also if your CB gets beaten your next line of defense is usually either the keeper or your RB or LB, but they have to be fast enough to move from the wing to the centre of the pitch before their striker has scored. in order to do this they must be fast.

put it this way, ive played about 30 games this week and not lost one.

my RB is rated 77 overall in my first team, go figure, but he has 85 pace.

Wingers dont normally get passed my defenders when I play 4 at the back. I aim to tackle them before they get they and my wingers dont need back up as a quick one 2 with your CM and they are away down the wing. It completely depends on the way you play compared to how others play on how you use them.

Yes Van Buyten may be slow but he comes across Walcott well im pretty sure he would be able to out muscle him and block him off.

Anyways Ive put Van Buyten CB and moved Naldo across to LB
 
I'll be on the Xbox later to play.

You're really helpful with your advice Sonny. It's great having someone around who's so knowledgable about the game.
 
I still can't settle on a formation, but everytime I've gone back to 4-4-2 I seem to do much better with it.

What are the pros/cons of 4-4-2?

yes it depends a lot on how you play, but i swear i could rip you apart if i knew your defenders were this slow, a quick 1-2 and theres no way your catching lavezzi or menez. both of them would make van buyten commit suicide at half time.

put it this way, 1 of my tactics is to tire a specific player in the other persons team, i only do this if the other guy has a very solid back line, in your case i wouldnt need to.
 
ok andy i think you told me to swap Gomez and Klose postions and i did and he scored a hatrick in 15 minutes ha. good tactic :D

depends on how you play, but no holding mids and no attacking mids.

you do the math, if your attacking type of player, and you push everyone up, will leave none back to help your defenders, if your a defensive player your strikers dont have enough support.

4-4-2 is also only good if you have the likes of valencia/ribery/robben/nani in the LM and RM, they need to be very fast and skillful. whereas your CM's need to be good passers.

ive never got on with it, so i dont know much about it because i never use it, but this is what it looks like when i play someone using it.

Swapped Van buyten with Naldo. Said before as he does have more pace. I do understand where you coming from but if some one was playing against me like that I would play Ultra Defensive and hit you on the counter, Got Robben and Ribery for pace.

usually if someone plays defensive against me, they have a hard time even getting into my half, i usually break down plays before my defenders even need to get involved. after every game some of my defenders still have 99 fitness.

anyway im off to watch some football, played about 8 games today, won all of them. used the money for contracts, needed them badly, tomorrow will be pack day.

biz kid is a tricky player, he did have me under pressure a few times, but i adjusted to his game, he knows a couple of tricks which can deceive you. but once i figured him out the flood gates opened, the second goal by me was a screamer. i really do need to start saving some goals for you guys to see, but i score so many, they usually dont let me save the best ones.
