Tactics
When is the deadline for tactical settings before a match?
You need to have set your tactics at least 2 hours before the match. After 2 hours you wont be able to change which tactic to use A,B or C and any changes made to those tactics wont have any effect for that match – it will use the tactics set before the two hours.
Why are there 3 tactics settings?
To keep key players form up and not overwork them so they get into the state of "I want to rest", rotate when your players play in friendly games so that they don't play every friendly. Use tactics to divide your squad. Here are some ideas for tactics:
- Have Tactic A with half of your best players. Have Tactic B with the other half of your best players. Have Tactic C as your best team. Play Tactic A and Tactic B every day in friendlies (home and away).
- Have Tactic A with your best team. Have Tactic B with your reserve team. Play Tactic A for home games and Tactic B for away games. Play Tactic A for League games.
- Have Tactic A with your best team. Have Tactic B with your reserve team. Play Tactic A at the beginning of the week. Play Tactic B the rest of the week. Play Tactic A for League games. (If your best players get hurt at the beginning of the week with they have many days to recover)
I keep setting up my tactics but they keep reverting back to how they were
When you have positioned your players on a tactic screen remember toSave before going onto another tactic or leaving the tactic section.
I have a player in the player list but he doesn’t appear in the tactics window
This is probably because he is not selected. Go to the Players page and you should see that under the player he down as “Not Selected”. Click on it and put it back to “Selected”. You should now see him available in the tactics window.
How are the substitutes position chosen?
The order that they are on the subs-bench determines the position they will be replacing.

1. Goalkeeping 2. Defender 3.Midfielder 4. Forward 5. the 5th sub will come if 1 of the subs that already came on the field injured.
What is the difference between Defensive, Normal or Offensive play ?
Defensive style increases the chance of keeping the ball in your half but decrease the chance of scoring. Aggressive style lets you have many chances at shots but you have a weaker defence.
Normal is a combination of both.
Normal or Aggressive attitude, what is the difference?
In aggressive style, the chances of getting a Yellow or Red card are increased.
Can I put players wherever I like on the tactics field?
You must have at a minimum:
1 Forward
2 Midfields
2 Defence
1 Goalies
And you must field 11 players on the tactics field.
What tactic should I use?
You need to find a tactic that suits your players strengths and weaknesses. The tactics employed by various teams can vary a lot. You may also find that you may have to vary your tactic depending on who you are playing.
What is the 4-3-3 tactic everyone talks about ?
This is a tactic where you have 4 defenders that are positioned very high up, just under the half way line. You then have 3 midfielders and 3 forwards high up. The defensive position forces the opposing teams forwards to stay up the pitch as they cannot go behind the defenders as they would be offside. This tactic has been wildly adopted by top teams who find it gives them an edge. It isn't suitable for all teams and may actually be bad if your defenders are slow, and the attackers are fast as the forwards may just run straight past your defenders outpacing them to get a long ball.

This tactic is not a cheat.
