Are defensive tactics the best ones?

[dimvol]

I am new to the game. Just lvl3 ,so with lack of experience.. I trully believe that for all of you defensive tactics work more than fine .For me, when i played with stronger opponents ,worked also .But all the times i tried them against equal or lower oppnents lost !! I tend to believe that the chemistry of some teams is to play offensively .

Especially this season defensive tactics seem a bit weaker and I see an advantage in attacking football.

Has someone noticed anything similar?

Depends on the enemy tactics and formation mainly...

Yes, i will not disagree with you... Attack positions are op this season tho... Most of my enemy teams today had full attacking tactic....

So we should use long only when our oppo doesn't have dmc . But I've used long with some teams with dmc's and works . I think it depends a lot of oppo's orders

I couldn't agree more specially after my Cup final today.
4-5-1 V is the formation I like to use , but 4-1-4-1 is what I trust more when playing vs very tough opponents.
My team RINOKEROS (lv12) played in the Cup final vs a lv15 team (leader of his league) so I set 4-1-4-1.
My orders are defense/counter/flanks/low pressing/ normal tackling/zonal / no offside and long passing as oppo played with 4-2-2-2 hex and didn't have DMs.
Red arrows to my ML & MR, blue arrows to my 5 defenders.
Max win bonus, 4 X10% training bonus but didn't use extra bonus as I was watching from old version.
Oppo didn't watch (too bad for him ).

That's only a general rule.
Sometimes if oppo doesn't have DMs long pass doesn't work and sometimes if oppo has, it works.
Nothing is 100% sure or else we could predict every game.

I know man , look , yesterday I scored 2 goals in 70 - 85 min with long passes , and my oppo had dmc , so I think it it depends on the oppo orders too

that must be a shock for the other manager

If you played the same opposite one more time after you would lose or draw. That's me thinking.
