the "stop my team from trying to many long range efforts" thread

[axehan1]

any helpful tips on reducing the amount of long shots my team make in a game(probably averaging between 10-15).

i play a 4-3-3 with a deep lying forward,2 good creative midfielders.defensive line is global and width is dependant on how i want to play against the opposition.i would have thought that i had enough players in the final third that could fashion enough through balls or attempted dribbles that would negate the need for long shots.

any takers??

have you tried setting your long shots to "rarely"??

Hold up ball, slow tempo and RWB to your creative players and DLF, and Long Shots to rarely to all, plus Strikers with good off the ball movement, and TTB often to creative players.
