Ciderarmy Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Morning everyone,just need advice on playing the big teams in the premership. In my journeyman save i have taken a job in the prem and to be honest my team is very good and have some great players and the last 2 seasons we have finished 4th and 3rd which is fantastic but to take my team to the next level i need results against the big teams ie Man City,Liverpool etc but its not just in fm21 ive struggle against the so called big teams. I write this as i have just played Liverpool and managed to hold on for a draw but got battered they had 23 shots to my 1 so was just wondering if anyone had any advice on how they set there teams up against better opposition as i have tried everything to man but nothing works. I know 9 times out of ten the better teams will win but i would like to try and overcome this problem all advice would be welcome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Buttons Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Can you share a screenshot of your tactic? This way we can have a better understanding of what you're trying to achieve and provide a more valuable feedback. Generally speaking, If I have a weaker team I usually play cautious, sit a bit deeper, mark their ways of penetrating in order to steal the ball and hit them on the counter with more direct passing. If my team is equal or stronger, I usually play balanced or attacking and identify which area is their weakest and focus my attacks there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Experienced Defender Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 A mezzala and wide forward on the same side work much better when played on different duties. A mezzala (on any duty) and a fullback with an attack duty is an extremely vulnerable defensive combo, especially against stronger teams. These are a couple of the most notable issues in your tactic IMHO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciderarmy Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 Many thanks for your reply would you recommend fb on support I did think it would cause problems defensively but apart from playing the big sides it doesn’t seem to bad but I will definitely look at that Could you also share your thoughts on my tactic as you said you could see some problems many thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Experienced Defender Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 2 hours ago, Ciderarmy said: would you recommend fb on support Assuming your question is about the left flank, I would recommend WB on support (or automatic) and mezzala on attack.

Angus Osborne Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I think the jump from having a good team in the Premier League to winning the Premier League is hard. Very difficult to get a team of players of the same quality as the leading teams Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
