Please how can I view a league rival manager's style of play e.g hard attacking, attacking ect.? I play with facebook account.
if he has 4 or 5 defenders (D +DMC)
if he has many shots (vs a normal opponent, not weak teams)
maybe the positions (in the box) of his player
I do not understand you sir
what is his formation ?
can you post his team ?
can you post 2-3 stats of his team vs other teams ?
He plays 3-5-2. He plays 3 central defenders, 5 midfielders and 2 strikers
I don't have much info but probably he's playing normal/attack
Set 4-5-1V , defense/counter/flanks mixed or long pass
Thank you so much. Cheers!!!
The only way to know if a manager is using a defensive style is from the live animation.
If the animation shows his team build from the back, then he is playing defensive. If the animation starts from your own half or from his half close to the halfway line, then he is using normal or attacking mentality
Thanks
That's true too, but the game has already started at that point.
Do you think i should keep offside trap on or off?
I normally don't use it. I use this tactics anytime I face the defensive style: normal, mixed/ down both flanks, short passes, force counter-attack, low pressing, normal tackling, zonal marking, no offside trapQuote:

Offside trap should only be used if you're attacking, and then only if the opposition don't have fast players that they can counter-attack with.Quote:

You can try to see a live game vs another team..Quote:

it depends on the different in strength with you and your opponent,Quote:

don't worry to ON offside trap when facing 4-4-2, because 4-4-2 is really suck at counter attacking
If your team much weaker, use defensive mentality, ON counter attack, low press, OFF offside trap
Thanks, we are close to equal strenght. 4-5-1 (my team team) 97% vs 4-4-2 (opponent) 92%.
if facing about equal strength opponent, start with normal mentality, OFF counter attack, high press, ON offside trap.Quote:

seems you can win easily, i never fail to beat 4-4-2 even facing stronger opponent, and it's kind of relief if facing 4-4-2 especially for important match. i don't know how to explain why 4-5-1 V can beat it, maybe you will get stronger in midfield battle, and opponent ML/MR don't have much effective in counter attack, also both opponent ST easily to be caught offsideQuote:

you should turn OFF offside trap if opponent overall quality is much stronger than you,Quote:

basically you can turn ON offside trap if you got almost equal overall quality, this mean your fullback got almost equal speed with their ML/MR,
so no problem to play with offside trap,
well, the most difficult opponent to be caught offside is AMC, AML and AMR, because they are attacking midfielder that got high speed, and very effective in counter attacking and difficult to be caught offside because their position area not as high as ST,
MC/ML/MR not really an attacking midfielder, so, their counter attacking not as good as those AMC, AML & AMR,
But MC/ML/MR still can become a threat to your offside trap if they got higher speed than you,
this is the reason why you should turn OFF offside trap if your team much weaker and also lower speed.
while ST is easier to be caught offside even they got high speed because their position is too high in the field,
4-4-2 got 2 ST which easy to be caught offside and no any AMC/AMR/AML, but still their MC/ML/MR can become difficult to be caught offside if got higher speed (For much stronger 4-4-2 overall quality than you)
can you understand this quite complicated explanation?
I understand the explanation very well, thanks so much. I really appreciate. Cheers!!!
one of my previous match that i had taken snapshot against about little stronger 4-4-2 than mine,
i was using 4-5-1 V-style motivated, motivated means put UP arrow to the DMC, in current version is place the DMC upward as close to MC area, but don't enter MC area
my tactic when start the match was normal mentality, mixed pass, mixed area, OFF counter attack
High pressing, normal tackle, Zonal marking and ON offside trap
and maybe i changed the tactic a little depends on situation during the match.
this was the previous version of 2017 before update top eleven to new 2018 version

Nice one, I have studied the opponent very well and i observed one of his striker have a far better speed than my defenders so am turning off offside, i will turn on counter attack because my wingers (AMR and AML) speed is far above all of his defenders and their speed is amazing. I think he is a good scoring side so i will stick to my MAN to MAN marking because it boosts my defensive play despite i am not sure which is best for this situation (zonal marking vs man to man marking). I think my wingers do very well in counter attacks so i use their play strength greatly
i guess you should figure out how the suitable tactic by yourself and did some analysis before and after the match (using statistic and player rating) and you know your own team strength and weakness well than others do,Quote:
