elland road boo boys Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Is it possible for a targetman striker to only close down opposition Goalkeeper & if so how? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
i4n37 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Maybe... Set GK's OI Closing Down to Always Set ST's Closing Down to Own Area and higher Mentality Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I used to try it to see if the striker would beat the keeper to a long through ball but I never got success and instead just got loads of off-sides. I'd be interested to know if anyone has got success using closing down, tight marking or hard tackling on oppo goalies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elrithral Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Set the stiker to closing down always and man marking the keeper, doesn't work very well though and phnompenhandy has highlighted the issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alimac Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I've tried the OI Always close down, and telling striker to close down all over the pitch but doesn't seem to make much difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elrithral Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I've tried the OI Always close down, and telling striker to close down all over the pitch but doesn't seem to make much difference. No difference whatsoever or no difference to the GKs play? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil ole me Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I chose close down keeper always and tackle hard and in the very next game the opposing keeper had the ball and my striker charged his clearance down by running approx 15m and ricoched into the goal!!........I have not seen it since though.

elgreenio Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 reminds me of 97/98 (iirc), the mark the GK bug, and watch the goals fly in. Would imagine it will result in a lot of offsides, plus the above post happening once every 5 seasons Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taytaz Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Happens a surprising amount in RL football in fm my striker was given a yellow for bodychecking the keeper as I set all tackling to hard that game (8 yellows, NO REDS!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
