alanricouk Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Does anyone else use them, or is it just me? I've only used them this version of the game, since I find my team get outplayed if I dont. How do you set up? Def mids, Mids, and att mids all have show on wrong foot, tackling hard, and closing down lots. The strikers have the same, and tight marking. The wingers always have show on wrong foot as well. I used to use close down, but I found that stretches my team, and makes us vulnerable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use them and then tweak them depending on what my assistant lets me know is going on! I dont have a standard pre-match set up. As I think it all depends on the players your up against on the day. So it changes game to game! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithers08 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I use them now and again , the assistant advice usually helps me choose what instructions to use. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
playmaker Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I'm using them quite a bit in the demo. I like to bring the wingers inside and play narrow. I generally leave the centre mids alone unless they are causing trouble - they've not got a lot of space in there anyway. I sometimes close down the full backs too.

Pompeyboyz Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I used to use then heavily in previous versions but now I limit it to what I have learnt from listening to my Assman. As a general rule before a game I set the opposition forwards to being put on the weaker foot and closing down for the wingers and MC. Any other changes are done ad-hoc as my AssMan tells me during a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSCCG Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I always mark the other team's forwards tightly at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPlanet Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Never use them, always just bypass the screen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
olivne Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I use them mostly with the show on to weaker foot option - but only if the opposition player has a much weaker foot otherwise it can backfire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompeyboyz Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Never use them, always just bypass the screen. In past versions you could do that but I think FM09 is much more reliant on some use. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainPlanet Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I've done pretty well in the demo without using them so far But I'll give it a go and see if it make improvements. Closing down, tackling and marking are all already covered by my tactics, the only one that isn't is the whole "weaker foot" thing. Which doesn't bother me too much at the moment.

Show wingers onto weak foot. tight marking strikers and show onto weak foot. Hard tackling on players with low bravery/strength. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
