Long ball targetman usage


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I started a new game trying Arsenal this time and I felt like trying something new given the material.

The formation looks like this.

As targetman I am either using Chamakh(1st choice) or Walcott when his pace is really usefull.

As trequartista I plan on using van Persie and Nasri and Arshavin for the wing. I want my midfield to rapidly connect to the targetman so I made them all 3 dynamic midfielders and set all the defender on playing the long ball (19). My problem is, the defenders barely play the long ball so the whole tactic falls apart. Should I configure my midfielders different or am I playing my defense wrong?

You can try a few things:

- Try setting Direct Passing and Quick Tempo (Counter-Attack ticked) in Team instructions and remove the settings you manually put on your players.

- If your defenders have decent passing, creativity, technique - make them Ball Playing Defenders.

- Goalkeeper instructions - Distribution Long Kick, to Chamakh.
