Yes forward runs will determine the players attacking mindset... together with mentality, it will be obvious which player will be up front when attacking, and which player will be down the field when defending... This will make a simple idea on how many players will be attacking and how many players will be behind the ball while defending... The passing also will determine how u want to play the game...

Anyone play for chelsea? What the best tactic? I use 4-1-2-2-1, but my attack kinda suck.... The lone striker up front always got low rating. Here's my team,


..........................Drogba/Anelka..........................


Malouda...................................................Joe Cole


.....................Ballack............Lampard/Deco............


............................... Essien/Mikel



A. Cole................Fazio.............Terry...... Bosingwa


............................... Cech....................................


Even draw with Ipswitch and lost to City and Wolves, but win against big team but only for few goals though. Even those most of it from long shot and headers.

try play short pass through the middle.if i play 4-5-1 using arsenal,i use short pass through middle.the wingers then become strikers eventhough they play on the flanks.that lone striker should drop a lil bit his attacking mentality,maybe put it as normal or a lil bit defensive.sometimes,my formation can become 4-3-1-2 with that lone striker becomes att mid and supply the ball to the flanks.of course,the striker hardly score goal unless he manage to breakthrough the defenders.

yea, my asst manager also, remind that in every match, says my forward is outnumbered to opposition defenders. But no choice for other tactic though, since chelsea got lot of good MC and less striker.

Regarding ur point u mean by set the striker mentality to normal? I think the rating always drop because my lone striker always loose the ball due to hard tackling and tight marking by the defenders. How to overcome that?

Btw, how to play long ball like CPU team? Always break my offside trap by long pass. Luckily terry is brilliant defender.

i got a thread on other forum which i posted my usable and successful tactic, possible to link here? treble win barcelona, arsenal 13 years undefeated, QPR premier league win 4th season.

i want to ask something regarding the pdf file about tactic

what are they mean by:

GK: 7
DC: 8
FB: 9
MCd: 10
MCa: 12
FCs: 13

and what they mean by:

Defensive: FCd (x +5); FCa (x + 8)

don't let him hold the ball.play fast and set his passing to short.think logically.if defender comes to you,u sure pass to the shortest option right?

play long ball?just slide the pass level till the highest la.lol
long ball depends on the pitch.if the pitch is long then the successful rate is high.or else it might end up behind for goal kick or keeper might come out to clear the ball.

aha..still figuring it out.anybody knows?

x=mentality of DC; So FCd (x+5) = mentality for FCd should be 5 notch more than DC.

Sorry... long time not active at this thread, got busy with work... btw - heres some idea of what you should know from the pdf file. first the a/d/s at the back of the DC/MC/FC:-
a = attack minded
d = defense minded
s = support minded

so for example, for DCa, meaning the DC should help the attacking force when they attack. or FCd, meaning the FC that should help the defensive force when they are defending.

example of a real world player (in liverpool):-

DCa - Danniel Agger
MCd - Mascherano
MCs - Xabi Alonso
MCa - Steven Gerrard
FCs - Robbie Keane

So, back to your question. The number on the side is their suggested mentality for each of their players formation.

and for the second question, i believe it means that for the tactical setting that use a defensive approach, it is suggested that x is base on your DC minded, so for FCd you set the maximum of x + 5. and your FCa to set the maximum of x + 8.
For example, you have set your DC mentality to 8 notch, so, for your FCd set their mentality somewhere from 8 to 13, and your FCa mentality somewhere from 8 to 16 according to your preference...


I think that should cover your questions...


I agree with you about the lone striker should drop a lil bit for their mentality. If you read the pdf files i've always talked about, you should set your lone striker as the FCd, and tick the hold ball option. Then both of the wingers should be set as FRa/FLa. So, what this tactical do, is that, your lone striker will attempt to draw the opponent's DC away from their lines by holding the ball far from the final third, and at the same time it will give more time for the flanks to position themself in an attacking position. When the ball past to the flanks, you have 2 option. You could set your flanks to either do more crossing or do more cut-in. Example on this is when last time robben play, the ask him to do more cut-in play, but when malouda played they ask him to do more on crossing and drogba which is the lone striker will be the target man that score the goal. If you watch closely in real world, anelka won't have the same attribute as drogba, so, how they set between those two lone striker up front is different on the approach.


Please do. I really doubt that there is a single tactic that could win every game you play, even if you had the best players in the world. Unless, in any way, it has something that could cheat the engine. Why i said that, is because, every tactic have an approach and each approach have its up and down. We take a simple 3 tactical common approach for example ; Defensive approach vs Normal approach vs Attacking approach.

Attacking approach - This tactic will maximize the attack, but at the same time will cost your defense into minimal. This tactical approach penetrate the opponents defense to score as many goal as your team can. But if you use this tactics againts a very good and well dicipline defensive team, your team could end up chasing back againts the opponent's counter attack and could lose the game.

Defensive approach - This tactic will maximize your defense, but will cost your attacking into minimum. This tactical approach need a very good defender and well dicipline defense team. Usually this tactical approach is used on a game that you usually lose. This tactic rarely produce a winning game, because the goal is not to concede any goal. But if you lucky enough, you could walk out winning the game.

Normal Approach - This tactical approach devide the attacking and defensive at the same level. The good thing is that you could defense well enough and attack well enough. The downturn for this approach is that your team cannot score too many goals as you should againts lower team, and if being attacked by a very good attacking team, you usually cannot be sure of walking away with cleansheet. So, this approach don't always give u a win.

So, i really wonder if there is such thing as single tactic that could always give you a win, either you are a good team (arsenal 13 year undefeated) or not a good team (QPR, 4th season premier league title).
