Hi there
After a long period of time not playing FM (last version played was 11), I bought this years game. It is fun, but frustrating as h*** to. I searched the forums for the issues in the title, but couldn't find any concrete answers.
I play a 4-2-3-1 deep formation, balanced, with TI droop deeper, short passing, play out of defence, stick to position. The roles are DL/DR full backs on support, standard DC, DM's on support, wingers on support, AM attack, ST advanced forward. The style of play is basicly playing on the counter attack.
The problem I'm having is that my full backs just can't defend decently: They can't mark wingers and they get through far to easly. Because of that I concede ridicoulus amounts of goals from crosses. I would even say, that the mayority of goals I concede are from crosses, be it as an easy tap in or header.
I tryed numerous variations of seting the FB and my other team up. But nothing is really working. Curently I use this PI's for my defending players:
- DM's are asked to close down more,
- FB's are asked to mark tighter, close down less, tackle harder,
- had CD's mark tighter, but that just streched them out of position to much.
Would really apreciate some advice or sugestions on how to deal with this problems, because it's really killing the fun out of the game.
Thanks
