Big tactic question.

Also what's with the offside traps and force counter options. Some saying that they never use them. But many use force counter only. Which option is better? In real life, offside trap can be 50/50 situation, but still it is effective if you have defenders who all understand when and how to create offside trap, but in T11...

Force counter. I used to use it when the opponent had no DMC/DML/DMR.
It allows your opponent possession until they come into your half of the pitch.
So, when you want more possession, do not check this option.
If your gameplan requires the opponent to come into your half at which point, you press, then by all means, you should choose this.
It is best used when playing a defensive counter attack game, where you will probably want long passing as well to get the ball up to your strikers fast.
