Ben Mann Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Using Chelsea in a 4-4-2 diamond midfield (with patch)....scoring heaps but conceding ALOT of goals...still winning like 3-2 and 4-3 but against teams like Hull and Dinamo Moscow, where i should be easily winning...i know results like this are known to happen but if anyone has a similar issue or tactical advice for the defence it would be appreciated!

arsenalboy Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I'm getting that a lot too. Though my defence is Taylor and Collocini... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AB-forever Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 The important thing is HOW you are conceding those goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Mann Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 They are usually from direct runs from quick strikers...tried Carvalho, Alex and Ivanovic (although none particularly quick) to partner JT but with little difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bean824 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Same with me. And for some reason I keep going 0-2, 0-3 down at home in the first half to the league's bottom club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AB-forever Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Lower defensive line maybe? Or keep the high D-line and use hard tackling on their quick strikers. Worked for me in FM09. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Costly Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 If people are running past some of your slower defenders tell them to defend deeper. Normally I check the opposition strikers, if they're smaller but quicker then I defend deep. If they are tall and can win headers though I defend higher up the pitch.

Ben Mann Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 1-0 up against Man City away...93rd minute and Ireland runs through to equalise lol! Problem with defending deep in this case is Tevez and Robinho are dealt with fine, but now Adebayor wins everything aerially...maybye i should try man marking instead of zonal? What do u guys use?
