How to play defend

[milpol]

Thanks Milpol. I have watched that videos and many others of yours. They are great, thank you for the service to the community.

What you mention in the videos is more like the tactical side of the game. How about team building? I usually play 451v, in this formation which position should we power train? I am focusing on AML AMR ST and DMC right now, but I am afraid I may miss something else, like maybe GK?

Hi again,
Thank you very much for the feedback, I really appreciate it.

When playing formations like 451V, you need very strong AML/AMR and DMC, in my opinion. However, this doesn't mean that only those are important, or that you should focus exclusively there. I suggest to treat all players equally, and to create a balance in your team. A balance is crucial, along with 3-4 solid substitutions (for rotation purposes).
I used to focus on particular positions as well, while completely neglecting others, until I realised that in case my 'strong' players had their bad days, I was in complete trouble.

I hope this helps.
Cheers
