Examples

There are few examples of how it works. To make it more understandable, I made the Defence for every defender equal 100. Same for the goalkeeper. Accuracy of the forward is also 100.Everyone tries to intercept the ball close to the kicking cellDefence of 3 defenders is stackingNo defence is stacking. Defenders on the line of the ball try to intercept it with their full DefenceThe good way to defend your goal is to put one defender on the line of the ball. Other 3 defenders stay adjacent to the line of the ball flying. So they will try to intercept it behind the main defender. 60% of their Defence will stack (for Precision Shot it will be 40%)Even more stacking DefenceJust a real game example.- B and C stay adjacent to the cell where the ball will fly. However, footballer C stays on the line of the shot. So C intercepts the ball on his cell. Only B will try to intercept the ball on the adjacent cell.- A, E, D stay near another cell where the ball will fly. So their Defence is stacking on this cellWide used formation with 5 defenders. Now you can see why it's so popular: defence is stacking behind the central defender.
