Opposition Team Report

I'm not sure how to use it. All I can tell is what their best players are. It would be helpful to find out a bit more on how they play like whether they are direct, use the AMC a lot or deadly at set-pieces. I could well have missed out on that information and not seen it on the report, I'm not sure. Any help would be much appreciated.

When you on the team report screen it has five different tabs at the top. I use tactic analysis and goal analysis to get an idea of strengths and weaknesses. It will tell about set-piece goals and preferred formations amongst other things.

Could you explain to me how you use both analysis, please? I tend to just look at their star players and have a guess that they're the main players to mark.

I use it in conjuction with match prep. If a team scores a lot from set-pieces i'll set defend set-pieces and so on. I tend to use assistants opp instructions but may add extra for key players. It gives a general idea of what to expect but is not very specific. I spend about 1 minute max looking at it.

As far as key players are concerned, I look directly at their squad screen with a customised filter. I have lots of match stats such as mistakes, passing %, tackling %, heading % along with the usual match ratings, form and morale and that tells me who their dangermen are.

Ah, thank you very much. I'll try that.
