RobertPage Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I don't know what others are finding but certainly in my 4-2-3-1 formation i've been disappointed with how ineffective this has been. For me, ideally my Striker would be between the centre backs and wingers would push up onto the full backs leaving either risky passes from the goalkeeper, players taking the ball under pressure or the ball being hit long. I'm often frustrated (same with my team allowing short free kicks that i'd like to be able to stop) with my team allowing the opposition to play it short so easily. Am i missing something or is this something to be improved in future fm's? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTHerringbone Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Possibly missing something, in the sense that if it worked exactly as you describe, then everyone would do it and almost all goalkeeper kicks would be belted down field. As it currently is, I agree it's a bit stand offish and could do with being more aggressive, but I can kind of see why it isn't a full on aggressive press.

RobertPage Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 I think it would be cool in future fm's if you could work on these kinda things in match preparations. Would quite enjoy having more time spent in setting up tactically for individual opponents and being able to instruct players how to position for these kinda moments and also for attacking set pieces. Can imagine it'd be quite difficult to implement though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavo01 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I've had relative success with this TI but only after the goalie has come out from his area. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danchinaski Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 As it currently is, I agree it's a bit stand offish and could do with being more aggressive, but I can kind of see why it isn't a full on aggressive press. Quite right, but I'm still frustrated by it like the OP is. Every time I see the opposing keeper take more than one touch of the ball at his feet and my attacker doesn't close him, I get peeved. I can also see why it isn't a 'full-on aggressive press' but feel that with this instruction the opposing goalkeeper should always feel more pressured with the ball at feet than he does at present.

edj Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 This would also be a great situation to differentiate between high workrate and low workrate players, as only the former (and only when they have decently fresh legs) would actually do it.

chocolatecoatedballs Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 In opposition instructions, I find it helpfull to close down the keeper. They often punt it long, or out on the side line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
