If you think your players going to take a bad first touch, play a first time pass to one of your team mates in more space. Try to pass to players with time in case the first touch control gets away from you. The attacking intelligence is much better in FIFA 13 and your team mates get into space and make clever runs much better than they did in previous games. Unless you’re presented with a quick counter attack opportunity most of the time in FIFA 13 you’re going to have to attack using thoughtful and tactical build up play. Then you can quickly get the ball forward and exploit the gaps left in their defence.

Run backwards or pass the ball backwards to your midfielders and the containing defenders should follow the ball and be drawn out of position. If your opponent is holding contain then their defender is going to follow the ball. Get the ball up to your strikers or wingers and hold the ball up. The best way to combat contain defending is to take your time, pass the ball around and draw players out of position. Unfortunately the hardest defence to break down is one where your opponent has numbers behind the ball and is using contain to defend. Because your keeper’s on his way back to his line he should have an easy catch or save to make. A lot of times you’ll force your opponent to panic and try a chip shot (or at least a difficult shot when he doesn’t want to). If there’s a 50/50 ball on then sometimes the best way is just to charge out with your keeper but when your opponent has more time on the ball you’re going to have to play a bit smarter.įake to charge out with your goalkeeper by holding Y or Triangle and when you’re opponent is just about to take a shot double tap Y or Triangle to send your keeper back to his line. If your opponent does manage to get in behind your defence you’re going to have to try to put your opponent off using your goalkeeper. If I win the ball back quickly I’m guaranteed a quick counter attack by exploiting the gap left in my opponents defence. If the ball gets away from the ball carrier a bit or he runs into a dead end, quickly change to your defender that’s putting pressure on and put in a challenge or tempt your opponent into thinking there’s a pass on when you know you’ve got it covered.Īnother big mistake I see people make often is keeping hold of LB or L1 when passing out of defence using a centre back making him charge forward looking for a return pass. When you’re opponent’s attacking use secondary press and to put pressure on the ball and control the defenders in behind making sure all runs are tracked and passing channels are covered.

This means you’ve got to defend with midfielders or full backs and try not to let your centre backs get drawn out of position.

In FIFA 13 it’s really important to keep men goal side at all times. If your opponent gets in behind you 9 times out of 10 you’ll concede. Staying unpredictable will make your attacks much more dangerous. It’s too easy to get into a rhythm and play at the same tempo and that’s when you become easy to read. Send a wide player on a run and then pass inside when they track them for example. Try to anticipate what your opponent will think you’re going to do and misguide them. Mix up your short and long passing, run with the ball until space opens up, cross the ball and cut inside, change up your play constantly to keep your opponent guessing. You know the guys that one two with the strikers every time to try and get behind your defence? Ok, it’s effective once or twice but if you know they’re going to do it every time it’s very easy to cut out. If you play the same way the whole game your opponent will soon get wise to your tactics and will shut them down every time.
