goalash Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 (edited) Case study: My team is leading the league very comfortably. My forwards - AML, SC, AMR, in some cases also an AMC - are not great at pressing opponents. Their Bravery, Work Rate and Stamina is not great. Yet, in come cases the tactical standpoint nearly screams for a high press: either while playing a weak team or a team with defenders often losing posession and not having a great season in general. So: I don’t really have the players to press, but it makes all the sense to press at the very moment. Approach A: I set the opposition instructions to Close Down More on my targets of choice AND raise the Line of Engagement to High Press (only if I’m pressing at least 2 enemy defenders). Approach B: I set the opposition instructions to Close Down More, but keep the Line of Engagement at Mid Block. I’m super keen to hear your thoughts.

coach vahid Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I don't know in game, but approach B is a little bit counter productive for me. Your players are not the best for pressing and you ask them to cover long distance for doing it. Approach A is more logical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
