Counter Attacking

The team will try to defend deep and absorb pressure, getting numbers behind the ball. When possession is won, they will counter by getting players and the ball forward quickly. Teams that play this way often give up a lot of possession to their opposition in exchange of a solid defence. It is best suited for teams trying to defend a lead.

 

 

 
 

High Pressure

The team will defend high up the pitch and mark tightly in an attempt to win the ball early. This tactic is an effective tactic to stop the opposition from having too much time on the ball, but it is more vulnerable to incisive through passes. It is best suitable for teams trying to get a goal back later in the match.

 

 

 
 

Possession

Classic possession football. Using this tactic, your team will move up the pitch when the opportunity presents itself, but keeping the ball will be of paramount importance. Players will opt to support more than going on forward runs. This is a tactic used by team who are comfortable on the ball, patient, and like to play a short passing game. It is best suitable for patient teams comfortable on the ball.

 

 

 
 

Long Ball

The team will look to play long balls from the defence, either into the space behind the opposing back line, or up to the target man who can bring it down or flick it on for his striking partner. This tactic is best employed by teams with a fast attacker, or attackers that are good in the air. It is best suitable for teams with pacey or strong in the air.
