brian_jacks Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Anyone any ideas on how to effectively combat the inevitable 4-2-4 All Out Attack employed by the opposition in the last few minutes of a match? Have tried going to Ultra Defensive with 5 at the back but still concede too many goals and or chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAssassin1982UK Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 i know the feeling, as soon as the opposition does this against me, all my players run away from the ball and my defence parts like the red sea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
moj Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Passing Style set to Long, use a target man with run to ball set on to him, counter attack ticked, narrow width, slow tempo or even fast tempo if you feel innovative ^ that would be the logical way of looking at it, as there is a huge space in midfield.

Alexio Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Its easy! If using a set switch to defend, and tight mark, press, show on wrong foot, the two MCs... Rather than conceding, you usually score! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoShedsJackson Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Anyone any ideas on how to effectively combat the inevitable 4-2-4 All Out Attack employed by the opposition in the last few minutes of a match?Have tried going to Ultra Defensive with 5 at the back but still concede too many goals and or chances. I find going Ultra Defensive invites too much pressure - I play a 5-1-3-1 with Global Mentality so if they go 424 near the end I lower mentality to around 6, tempo slow, width narrow (setting of about 3-4 on each of those - I avoid extremes), time wasting 17/18, counter attack and pass down the flanks.

Daley Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I've got a kill game tactic which is basically a 4-1-4-1 formation, can't remember the exact set up as I've used the same tactic since FM07 when a team goes 4-2-4. Most of the time I score another goal or at the very least hold on for the win. The only exception in 09 has been Arsenal but it has been noted that they are a super team which should be fixed with the next patch. When I'm back home later tonight I'll post the settings I use!
