sicox86 said: Thanks, I had the same problem - it's quite frustrating when you're the attacking team. What can be done from an attacking point of view against a team that employs strict man-to-man marking? Have more men going forward than they have defenders, an OM can cause havoc with strict man-to-man as he pulls a centre back upto the halfway line. |

@GunnerNic said: 100% correct  Just to add to it - MM is not very effective if you want to play the offside trap. Zonal works very well for this if you push your players up. Zonal can be highly risky tho - if the opposition has noted where you put your players he can put his attackers elsewhere. Somewhere in between can be frustrating as its kinda half half and your players dont really know what to do, but I think some managers are very happy with 50-50. So it largely depends on your team. I play quite a bit of man marking if the opposition has very quick attackers as playing for offside is highly risky. If its just a CF (slow) and mids I will use the zonal offside trap to good effect, especially as my quick defenders can easily get back to cover. Wouldn't advance formation get rid of "holes" if you place them correctly? |

I don't think there is a definitive answer on most of this as it depends on what specific tactics your opponent uses. I play more M2M but an OM won't cause me too much problems because I have a lot of weight down the middle, basically there are more than enough available markers to handle that. The key is there are a lot of different strategies and I am not sure there is a definitively best one. | 04/11/2011 11:02 |
