    Opposition instructions

    Bron: http://www.fm-britain.co.uk/


    Opposition instructions are one of the new features introduced for FM 07 and the subject of many questions. They can be a very powerful instrument of supporting your defensive success, and can be the key to winning many games, especially tight games and games with odds against you.

    If you watch a game in extended highlight mode, or even in full mode, you will notice that your opposition instructions will force the whole team to watch out for individual opposing players and try to handle them according to your instructions - as soon as these players enter the zone of any of your players. This teamwork can almost take opposition players ‘out of the game’ and may be one reason why opposition instructions are useful with any marking system; but they can be almost crucial if combined with zonal marking.

    Using a huge number of opposition instructions for every attacking and midfield player can eventually result in dramatically reducing the SOT rate of the opposition, often restricting them to a few shots on goal per game.

    These are a few recommended and tested opposition instructions:

    Forwards: Tight marking for any half decent striker always, closing down always/never for slow strikers/explosive strikers, hard tackling for towering strikers and heading monsters (if they get fouled all day, turn off). Sometimes show on weaker foot for technical strikers.

    Closing down should be related to the player’s pace. If you only have one player with pace 6 or 8 in your back-line (especially the CBs) and the opposition player has a pace of 16, you should choose close down never. If you are playing explosive strikers but your CBs have a pace of 14 to 16, consider closing down neutral (no specific) or even often. Closing down often seems to work a charm as long as there are no large gaps in speed and the defenders are matching the opposition quality in rough terms. It would certainly fail if there is a gap of two divisions in quality though.

    Wingers: Tight marking/closing down always for wingers, show on weaker foot if their strong foot matches their side.

    Hard tackling for wingers is recommended frequently. However, with using hard tackling you should monitor the amount of unnecessary fouls in crucial areas. It's a case of personal preference and how much you trust the tackling ability of your players.

    Midfield: Closing down for every player in midfield who tries to make good long shots. Tight marking/closing down always for every AMC and dominant deeper MC playmaker.

    These instructions really can make the difference. Especially if you achieve to take out the opposition's AMC, since this will be a blow for many team’s build up play.

    Centre backs and keepers: Closing down often on the goalkeeper and centre backs. The benefits of this can be that any team that likes to build from the back (with the goalkeeper making short passes, or a team that likes to play many back passes) will be put under a lot of pressure and either have to change its game plan or lose possession in key areas. If nothing else, it can pressurise the opposition into making mistakes, perhaps giving your team a few key throw-ins, corners or even key interceptions. The down side would obviously be the great physical effort required in constantly chasing down the ball. However, in games where you wanted to kill off a tight match or need to regain possession to score it could be a useful tool.

    If you use this at home against ultra defensive teams, your players will be pushed further up the pitch, so they won't be as tired or out of position as much.

    Ultra defensive opposition:
    Lone FCs in defensive systems: close down, tight marking and maybe hard tackling.
    FC and AMC in 3-3-2-1-1: close down, tight marking and hard tackling.
    This can also be applied against two forwards in e.g. ultra-defensive 4-4-2s.

    These instruction can be helpful to intercept any attack very early and regain possession. Watch out though if your defenders are turned by quality forwards or commit too many fouls.

    Quality Opposition: If you are facing overwhelming opponents, it can be worth singling out their WHOLE midfield! Additional measure: closing down the fullbacks, plus showing on their weaker foot as well if it matches their side (preventing crosses). This can be very effective against superior attacking teams and protect your penalty area from being bombed by deep crosses or fullbacks going riot on your wings. But you should keep this in reserve for strong teams and attacking teams in tight games. Otherwise it would be a waste of stamina.

    Bravery: Some players recommend watching out for the oppositions bravery and pick out players with low bravery for closing down always and hard tackling. But again you should monitor if this leads to a huge number of crucial fouls.

    Danger man: It can be worth the effort to think about your scout's feedback. If the danger man is e.g. a strong striker, he could be tackled hard and the wingers should be treated specially as well to prevent crosses to his head. A dominating playmaker might need tight marking and/or hard tackling and closing down.

    Erg interresant. Toch maar eens wat meer gebruik van maken. Zeker het stukje over tegen Ultra defensieve ploegen spelen kan me wel van pas komen.

    Ok, dus als ik het goed begrijp is zoneverdediging (zonal marking?) ideaal in combinatie met closing down?
    Alleen snap ik het niet volledig ... Als je de spits van je tegenstander uit de match wil houden, wie laat je hem dan dekken (closing down)? Een centrale verdediger of zo ...?

    Amai dit is echt super info, na een kwakkelig begin in men 2e seizoen met anderlecht sta ik nu terug eerst!! (ik kom van de 7e plek, met 8 of 9 punten achterstand) kwartfinale uefacup (evenver als vorig jaar) met 2 wedstrijden tegen atlanta op het programma en halve finale van de beker (vorig jaar was ik gewonnen) waarin ik Club Brugge (derde in de stand) moet zien te verslaan! Allez ja dit is misschien allemaal wat veel tekst om gewoon te zeggen dat sinds ik deze tactieken min of meer gebruik krijg ik minder goals tegen en win ik zelfs ruimer!! (3/4 - 0)
    Goed om weten dus

    Ik vind die stukjes erg interessant he, maar vanwaar heb je die?
    Heb je ze zelf geschreven voor op een engelstalig forum te posten?

    Zo niet, zou ik serieus overwegen om een bron te vermelden, het is mar logisch dat je niet met de eer van een ander gaat lopen.

    No offense uiteraard!

    Ik heb ze vanop het anderlecht forum, daar gepost door iemand die ze ook van ergens anders heeft en die zelf geen bron vermeldde.
    Geen bron dus,
    ik heb dit uiteraard niet zelf geschreven.

    ik speel sowiso closing down, behalve de cd's omdat ze dan dikwijls nogal dom uitstappen en zo een mega gat trekken zonder gevaar voor offside voor de tegenstander. met juve werkte dat redelijk goed
