Realmadrid_2007 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I would assume that it would be tight man marking, but I've noticed the two centre backs can get dragged out of position with this setting -- Leading to massive gaps! What is everybody's preference? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnUrF Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I go for Zonal the whole team. The idea behind this is that if my CBs are man marking opposition CFs then there might be noone in the box marking cutting in wingers or forward rushing CMs. Not to say this would be the ideal way to do it, but that's just my 2 cents. But now to think of it, what would happen if one would put the CBs on zonal marking and the rest of the defending players on man marking.. Again the idea would be that CBs simply defend the box (instead of marking specific players), and the rest of the defending players would mark their man hoping they would follow them to the box if the attacking players would try to make runs there (FBs following the wingers and MCs or DMCs following the on rushing CMs or AMCs). -SnUrF Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
berwick-the-unbeatable Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I have the stopper as man-marking while the cover or just normal defender is a zonal defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingers (inside forwards), Full backs, and the two MCs are on man marking. The two CBs on zonal together with my anchor man. I play 4-1-2-3 and that set up is to defend a normal 4-4-2 or any formation without an AMC. If there is an AMC in the formation, I change the anchor man to man mark the AMC and let the MCs be on zonal. Works a treat. I marked Gerrard out of the game twice using the second set up, and managed to beat Liverpool twice. And that being Sparta Prague. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
