The ML tactics thread.

[Rasmus]

Since i've tried quite a few i now mostly use counter attack, pressure and opposite side attack.

I play in the premier league as FC Copenhagen (top player)
It seem to work fine when using counter attack against the lower ranked teams and pressure against the top teams (don't know why)

Which formation(s) du you guys use? Do you change during a match and do you use different tactics depending on the opponent?

Well, I use the default formation oh my team (Liverpoo). I admire that kind of play, and I always believed it's the best way to play football, or atleast for Liverpool. Usually I substitute a player that is tired but keep the current formations, however, if I'm short on goal, I'm going into 4-2-2-3 formation with 3 strikers to ensure as much power as possible. On lower / less important matchs I also use 2-3 strikers formations just to give my less popular players to get some experience (e.g Babel, Voronin)
I wanted to go to a 2 strikers formation, combing Torres with another top class striker (was intrested in aguero, or villa or tevez) but none I could buy. so I just kept this formation.

I imagine that's very effective, seeing as you'd end up with 12v11.

I'm only playing PES in my first time for about few days. Never played PES before. So I'm extremely not aware of most of the advantages in it. I will tho find and use some of them once I explore it more.

yup 12v11 almost as if it's unfair on the opposition? but something tells me that you cant have 12v11, not quite sure though, must check my football rules book.

12v11 is accepted when a player has a severe handicap.
