DEFAULT Your team’s default tactic, reflecting how your team play in attack and defence. TACTIC SETTINGS

Your default tactic settings are based on your team’s formations and players. Usually, the default settings are set to moderate and organised.

COUNTER ATTACK Counter Attack tactic in FIFA 17 is best suited for teams trying to defend a lead. Using this tactic, your team will try to defend deep and absorb pressure, getting numbers behind the ball. When possession is won, they will counter by getting players and the ball forward quickly. Teams that play this way often give up a lot of possession to their opposition in exchange of a solid defence. Key Notes Your build up play speed is fast

It’s recommended to have players with higher PAC (pace) rating especially for the attackers and attacking midfielders

Use finishers with high SHO (shooting) and finishing ratings

PAS (passing) rating of your midfielders is recommended to be high

HIGH PRESSURE This tactic is good for teams trying to get a goal back later in the match. By using the High Pressure tactic in FIFA 17, your team will defend high up the pitch and mark tightly in an attempt to win the ball early. This tactic is an effective tactic to stop the opposition from having too much time on the ball, but it is more vulnerable to incisive through passes. Key Notes The pressure in your defensive line is high

You need the defenders with high DEF rating

It’s recommended to have also midfielders with high DEF

PAS (passing) value is also important since the passes for creating chances will be risky

In FUT, you should have a defensive line with green CHM lines (high chemistry) – Especially for setting offside traps

POSSESSION A good tactic for patient teams comfortable on the ball. Classic possession football. Using this tactic, your team will move up the pitch when the opportunity presents itself, but keeping the ball will be of paramount importance. Players will opt to support more than going on forward runs. This is a tactic used by team who are comfortable on the ball, patient, and like to play a short passing game – A tiki-taka football. Key Notes Safe passing is the key

PAS rating of your starting 11 should be high

Skill moves are important – You should be comfortable with FIFA 17 basic skill moves

Using FIFA 17 Long Ball tactic, your team will look to play long balls from the defence, either into the space behind the opposing back line, or up to the target man who can bring it down or flick it on for his striking partner. This tactic is best employed by teams with a fast attacker, or attackers that are good in the air. Key Notes Passing and long passing are important – Especially for your defenders

Your build up play speed is high

PAC os your strikers should be high

Use preferably tall strikers with high PAC, SHO and finishing ratings
