Daemon_Rising Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I currently have two DC's in my squad, who are world class, and have a marking attribute of 19. I am thinking about teaching them both "Marks opponent tightly". Is there any disdvantage to this PPM or is it all positive? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Against a pacy forward its possible to get caught too tight as the striker races past onto a through ball. On the plus side though used on a big strong DC with a stopper role can see him mark a forward out of the match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleventozturk Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I always thought that the 'marks opponents tightly' PPM is good for pacey defenders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclonus1010 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 hate the " dwells on ball " ppm myself, lost count the number of times midfielders with that lose the ball and set up a counter attack usually resulting in a goal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mteeters Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I gave Yannis Tafer the place shots PPM once and totally ruined him. He went from a goal scoring machine to kicking the ball straight to the goalkeeper just about every time. Since then I've pretty much avoided all the PPMs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekker2 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 If you ever want to play with a Stopper-Cover system, you're a little buggered if your covering defender marks tight and high up the pitch. If you're happy to have no one covering, then you're fine (though I never understood what the advantage is, over simply telling them to mark tightly in their tactical instructions).
