matias82 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Do you use ready-made "gegenpress" tactics? And are you satisfied with them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snorks Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Yes, and yes for the most part. The ones that come with the game, although I do tweak them slightly to suit my players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphiushell Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I use it and I have had a lot of success with it and combining it with in game shouts. I have found however though that when my team gets more Rep its harder for me to win games as teams just sit deep and hit on the counter so if anyone can help with that id appreciate it :) Another thing I have found is the striker doesn't get many goals as a Pressing Forward do we think that changing that to a Poacher or that would the tactic still work well?

FMunderachiever Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Surely for the game to work properly, you should not be able to be dominant simply by using a default tactic? It would be like being able to drive fastest on a formula 1 game with all the driving aids on. There would be no incentive or need to learn anything about tactics. It is certainly not a criticism, but an inbuilt default system and shouts I don't think should get you far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In cases like this I've found the best option is to lower my defensive line and LOE a notch. That way when your team wins the ball back there's more space for your players to attack and the opposition has less time to regain their defensive shape. I'll also drop the mentality to balanced from time to time as I've found positive tends to see my players shooting form distance too much for my taste. For the striker role I prefer to play the pressing forward on a support duty to bring others into play and it works much better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphiushell Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Yea I have thought about dropping the defensive line and LOE my thinking was that this might make them come out a little more giving us space to get in behind. And I agree the long shots are a bit of a joke tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphiushell Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 So i wonder if you are fav to win a game then it might be best dropping the lines back a bit as they are like to sit in again you if you are fav to win Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely use a very high LOE anymore. Obviously you have to have the right players to make any system work. Gegenpressing needs players with high stamina, workrate, and all that, but don't overlook the decisions attribute. If you're playing at a very high temp you need players that can make good decisions quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
