Cougar2010 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Need to sort those set piece instructions out there. Pretty sure default ones would leave a couple of defenders back there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eriktous Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 Look again. There are two defenders back there, but they both start a sprinting race in forward direction as soon as the free kick is blocked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhhScottySinclair Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I always put my DL/DR back in set-pieces as they are usually too small to be a threat in the box and are fast enough to run back if they need too, it looks like you had 2 attack players back there with a structured mentality currently sat at that time, if so you are asking your attacking players to only attack and not worry about defending hence why they literally didn't do anything about the counter attack. When setting set-pieces be mindful of where your players play in your formation when setting them e.g if you do short throw ins leave your CB's back so your team keep there shape and players won't get caught out of position.

Guest Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 There are two possible replies here; 1. That's what happens when you leave your strikers back in defence for an attacking set-piece, the coded player behaviour of recovering to their formation position at the breakdown is an issue within the ME logic but I'd expect a seasoned FM'er to have identified this behaviour & to not leave their strikers back like this. 2. That's the drawback of using specific man marking, the player's first move will be to pick up their assigned opponent & then defend. Just like answer 1 this is an issue within the ME logic that I'd expect a seasoned FM'er to have identified & to avoid using specific man marking or if they do to not put the man marker in a position where this weakness becomes a problem.

They either aren't defenders that you left back or they have man mark instructions. No-one is saying its right but its the limitations of the coding we currently have and its possible to work around it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
