The question betrays a lack of understanding about the game. Zonal and MTM are both effective, depending on certain factors

The main one is formation - if you go MTM and you have three defenders, but your opponent has two forwards and 3 AM then your defence will be overwhelmed

Also, quality matters - if your worst defender is 1v1 with your opponent's best attacker, then you'll probably concede goals

I go zonal because, frankly, I'm too lazy to change formation and tactics to counter my opponent, plus I believe in playing to your strengths rather than trying to block your opponent

Sittng in my workplace... trying to act like im earning my keep. thanks for taking the time to answer comprehensively... you may want to also add a comment about player form, especially if set for hard tackling..ta' ... boss ahoy!
