LHurlz Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I get this every time I use a formation without a natural DM. And even still one of my CMs is a DM - D or BWM - D. Is this something important to listen to, or should I just ignore it? I don't know if this means I practically have to play with a DM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fosse Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Assistant managers are usually idiots so take their advice with a pinch of salt, if there genuinely is an issue then maybe add the shout "pusher higher up" to reduce the gap between your players.

donnybrook Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I don't trust my assistant manager with tactics. However, protecting the zone in front of your center backs is very important. If you have a Center Midfielder/Defend, or Deep Lying Playmaker/Defend in your midfield, you should be fine. Ball winning midfielders cover too much ground to protect your center backs.

THOG Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 You should never listen to your assman. The logic behind the advice is usually terrible. "Hey, we're playing West Ham and winning a lot of defensive headers against Mauro Zarate, we should play a more direct passing game!" "Hey, Bayern is pressing us brilliantly and we can't get any possession, we should play a shorter passing game so they can launch more counterattacks from inside our own third!"

spaced33 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 A common one for me is how we're being seriously overrun in midfield despite 60% possession. This is usually because I play without wings and my central mids have to go out wide to assist with def Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
