SeanKB Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 How do you go about beating the top teams (United, City etc) away with a smaller team. I usually just try to hit them on the counter, it sometimes works, but sometimes I do get thrashed. What tactics do you use? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berry-94 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I like to try and put them off their normal game by kicking lumps out of their key men whenever the chance arises. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't haha. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
petey_g Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I tend to play high up the pitch, pressing a lot with an attacking mentality. Sometimes I get thrashed if they consistently get in behind and score, but I find my teams just don't cope very well if I try to sit back and soak up pressure. I'll often lose by 3 or 4 goals against the big teams if it doesn't go well, but occasionally gets the shock result. I've never won sitting back and trying to hit on the counter.

Gooner88 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I normally just play my normal way because if i change it il normally take a beating. Only thing id do is drop slightly deeper and set full backs to defend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilCuoreDiRoma Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 i normally use 4-2-1-3 or 4-2-3-1 in regular matches big matches i switch to a 4-3-1-2 and play a D© in the middle of the 3 to mark the opposition AMC (a.k.a. the Real Madrid Pepe role) and get stuck in or if the opposition doesn't play AMC i play a deep lying playmaker there and set him as my main playmaker (a.k.a. the Juve Pirlo role) and try to keep possession as much as possible Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
