Domoboy23 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 As a lover of clean sheets and underdogs, I know for the past few years there's been huge outcries of pressing being overpowered and defensive football being struggled to implement. I was wondering how people were finding the alternate tactics and set-ups this year? Are you having success with defensive, deep football? Joy with structured, low blocks with low pressing? Sitting back, soaking and smash 'n; grabbing greatness? Or are people still finding this hard to implement? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehig2 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 still conceed more than I like, although still trying to see what works. So far I find against big teams if fails, the pressure is too much and you just give away too much control. I've had a lot of clean sheets vs smaller /similar teams to me though.

phnompenhandy Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 It's good this year. In previous iterations of FM you really had to set up attacking, with gegenpressing to get anywhere - no longer. With the right players of course, a sit deep, low block, patient approach can be successful, and you can score plenty goals. Rashidi/BustTheNetGaming did a video on it on YouTube recently. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We finally have a good balance this year when it comes to defensive tactics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeiranShikari Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Sitting deep and countering pretty much instantly made me the second best team in Wales (a league with a lot of parity bar 1 pro team). Safe to say I'm enjoying the low and mid block systems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domoboy23 Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) Good to hear, but sadly even after watching Rashidi's vids on FM23... with 3 CBs and a low block I'm still seeing ball over the top/through ball again and again as my defenders stand and stare It doesn't matter the quality of the opposition or the player making the pass, it's pin point and destroys my back line Edited November 16, 2022 by Domoboy23 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
