speople Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I must admit, at first FM 2010 was nothing like CM 4 where I could play 5, 4, 1 with players set to ultra defensive, and protect a 1-0 lead with a Conference side against the likes of Pool, Chelsea, United, and Arsenal practically all day long. Whereas in FM 2010 I tried protecting leads with a 5, 4, 1 in the English 11th tier and got burned every time. So I switched to 4, 4, 2 with 15-20 mins left (I normally play 3, 4, 3) ultra rigid, defensive (rather than contain) set the 4, 4 to defensive status in each individual player's role (apart from the strikers) and also their mentality to defensive too, plus the obvious timewasting to the max, and after 7 tries, I still have a 100 % save rate. I don't use the touchline instructions, as I have basically found these even under normal play, to make matters far worse. Anyone else got any good tacs for saving a lead or a draw ?

swed151 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I just contain and retain possession. Although my defense is solid to begin with. Only allowed 13 goals in consecutive seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No i didnt think so Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

betts1411 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 You cant simply set all your team apart from strikers and say you should be able to defend a lead. I found it hard at first defending leads but changes must be very subtle and think about what certain instructions mean. Player roles have a huge effect on what players do in fm10. Also remember at times you simply wont be able to implement tactics you wish because other teams have momentum etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
