Custom Defending Tactics can help you defend more effectively. While you can control one player and tell him to do exactly what you want, you have 9 other field players who will be doing whatever the preset settings tell them to. So, if you can define custom tactics that do what you want more effectively, then you are infintely more in control and will probably see better results. The following custom tactics align with our Defending Guide.

 

Defense

Pressure40 - Players will notice if you have a high pressure setting and your players are just sprinting full speed at them whenever they have the ball. This is very easy to counter so its much more effective to be conservative.

Aggression: 40 - Functions hand-in-hand with pressure.

Team Width: 65 - Spaces your team out very wide to give attacking power to your wingbacks. If you can counter with your opponent's midfielders out of position, this becoms extremely effective. The only drawback is that sometimes this will result in your opponent getting inside of your wingbacks and exposing out of position center backs, so be careful.
