HanziZoloman Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 (edited) What is the situation, tell us about it and about what you are trying to achieve. I play mostly Germany 3rd to 1st division and know some of your players and the league. Edited April 6, 2023 by HanziZoloman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblue9877 Posted April 7, 2023 Author Share Posted April 7, 2023 I am managing one of the worst teams in the league and despite using a tactic that has worked with other teams well in the past , we are struggling to defend so I would like to know what others would change in this situation.

HanziZoloman Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Try to figure out what happens before that crosses or longballs. I can imagine that the WBs are too slow covering the flanks in offense and fighting crosses in Defense, maybe they are out of position (?) you could add trap inside where you have three players and two defenders (?) Longballs are an issue when the defenders are slow or don’t mark tight enough or the opponents have much time in midfield to pick a good pass. You could add more grid in MC with switching one of the B2B into a BWM (?) you could add drop off more (?) Check if Raschl has enough work rate, in FM20 he was a little lazy. If the tactic had worked before I‘d start with trying to prevent the crosses with funnel inside, add a BWM in MC and drop off more. If Raschl is still lazy I‘d check for a harder working player in DM. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that until the XG table caught up with me and I ended up getting 15th, still above 18th but I don't want to be stuck in 18th so I'd like to know what I can do tactically to improve the defending.

IW/W and Fullbacks provide more defensive work rate than IF/Wingbacks. Two midfielders roamers could also be leaving you owner. I'd recommend a CM(s) for one of those roles. Usually relegation battles come down to moral. In that screenshoot the teams moral looks pretty poor. Fix that and you should stay up just fine. It's 10x more important than the tactics Edited April 8, 2023 by Cloud9 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
