Counter-attack match strategy is about staying deep and tight, patiently waiting for the opportunity to break- when a counter attack is triggered in FM, the team will go on attack duties, high tempo, direct passing. You of course have all the option to make the base style higher tempo if that suits what you want more closely.

Thank you!

Hello! I'm new here at the forum, I have a basic question about playing counter-attack.

A Counter-Attack strategy works better with a higher tempo or a lower tempo? My first tought would be to use higher for the team instructions, so that the players make fast transitions. But when I select Counter Mentality the standart tempo is slightly lower.

I'm with 1.FC Köln right now, the prediction is 15th at the end of the season, so we'll be underdogs for most of the matches in the season. I want to play a counter-attack strategy trying the to take the best from the pace of my wingers and attackers. My midfield is not great at passing, so I think I won't be able to maintain possession against most of the teams.
