What is your playing style?

[SeanBless]

I always wonder what others playing style in the master league against CPU (I haven't try playing online yet:ninja:)

I'm on my first season with AC MILAN on top players.
My record so far is 22-1-1 (my one lost came on own goal:realmad:)

Over the last 10 games i noticed that i didnt manage to get at least 50% on ball possession. But the results of all those match belong to me (i won them all and have margin as much as 3-0)
The CPU takes forever on their build up and i say they do meaningless passing, i just stop touching my controller until they start advancing close to my goal.

My style is basically deadly counter attacks. Since i have speedy attacking players on my squad (Pato, Nilmar, Obertan, Abate, Nasri, Ronaldinho).

I believe in two tactics. Either 1 striker and 5 midfielders, or 3 strikers and 3 midfielders. I find 2 strikers as a stable tactics, used by normal players, but it's very doll, and uncreative, at least to me.

[dan80]

i find it annoying also when the cpu passes around for about 5mins of the match and you cant get near them.

Sometimes i will do this myself if im playing a hard team but usually its attack usually from the wing cut in and shoot or early cross and header but this year where defenders back off i find my self running towrds goal and can easily shoot and more often than not will score.

[luik^3]

Style: Pressure on the opponent when they have the ball

Do you take your time building your attack?
most of the times yes, not when i see a opportunity for counter attack

[bridport bee]

Hello,
Style: pass and run. I use a lot of 1-2 passes, a few by-line crosses, and then a lot of pasing around the edge of the box for space.

Take your time? - yes, if i have to. I'll pass the ball up one wing, and if there is no room there i'll turn inside and start switching the play, i find it can really help as it starts to get ther team out of shape, so you can suddenly find two men unmarked on the left etc.

Possession: 47-55%

Team: Fiorentina

If you want to enjoy ML start with a less known team lyk PES United. The challenge is so gud. I am playing with WE United and have never won a single league title (I am in season 2017-2018), rated 118 in the team rankings:realmad: but i hav a feeling this is my season:no:

I use 3-5-2, really effective if you wanna kip possession of the ball, more especially if you dont have too many gud players so you have to rely on the passing game.
I have an average ball possession of 60-40 in my favour for teams which I consider weak and vice versa for the Arsenals and Man UTDs.

I take an average of 60 mins to score a goal (play 10mins per game).

[kenhcwoo]

Style : Pass and look for space on offense, pressure when defending.

Do you take your time building your attack?
Sometimes, it depends on who I am playing and what the score is. I generally like to pass it around in the midfield and look for gaps to play through balls or down the flanks.

45-55%

[ranger1882]

love one touch football the wenger way dam shame you cant play like that online .cant lose if you got the ball? FACT

[Amon Tobin]

Team: Napoli

Style: Against lesser teams it's possession football with plenty of intricate play around the area and good build up including the full backs. Against bigger sides I'm happy to let them keep hold of the ball, snuff out the attacks where possible and hit them on the counter.


Do you take your time building your attack?
Whenever possible, yes.

[Blade1889]

Style : I use my wingers a lot and like to play quick passing football.

Do you take your time building your attack?
I wouldn't say I use a patient build up game but I don't just hoof the ball into the box either. I like to pass out to the wings and let my wingers either cut inside or beat their man and whip in a cross. Even when I'm 4-0 up I still like to break forward quickly and rarely just play keep-ball.

What's your Ball possession average?
Around 48%

What formation do you use?
3-5-2

[lazysod]

Do you take your time building your attack? I love to counter attack, once I'm ahead I pass the ball around more. But I rarely keep the ball for the sake of keeping it, always looking for an opening.

Ball poss average? 60%

Formation? 4-3-3

[muscularmatt]

LOL @ the hilarious lack of modesty in this thread. My style depends on who I'm playing. In general, the stronger the opponent, either human or computer, the more defensive the outlook. With a weak opponent, then I just bomb forward and don't take any time to build up play. If against someone good, then I'll usually play a defensive shape and try and build up slowly and more carefully.

[Audite]

Style: Possession, possession, possession.

Do you take your time building your attack: Sure, as I enjoy it and it feels more natural for me. But enjoyment aside, if this means holding onto the ball until I can exploit/take advantage of an opponent, then, yes. Obviously this can backfire when playing an opponent who sits back and defends, but with decent vision and anticipation, and defenders and midfielders who possess great body balance, possession/dribbling, and above-average passing ratings, I cut down on it happening.

Avg. Possession: 60-65%

What formation do you use?: Typically a 4-3-3, with the midfielders and forwards positions adjusted according to the opponent's positions. Naturally, if it's beneficial to change to a different formation for the sake of how your opponent lines up, then I adapt.

Current Line-up of Los Gitanos:

GK: Bailly
RB: Patric
CB: Bos or Srbonic
CB:Chybanasky
LB: Dellafiore or Marcelo
DMF: Huddlestone or Busquets
MF: Defour or Merino
MF: Kahlenberg
R-SS: Lisandro or Rowland
CF: Keirrison
L-SS: Balotelli

[DDRickyDD]

4-4-2. I play a patient passing style with four midlfieders who are good at winning the ball back.

Mascherano, Kuyt, Riera and Gerrard at Liverpool. Pirlo, Gattuso, Seedorf and Kaka when I was AC Milan.

[pivo007]

Style: -counter attacks, smart through passing (att)
-pressing (def)

Do you take your time building your attack?
not really.

What's your Ball possession average?
45-60%

What formation do you use?
4-3-3 or rarely 4-2-4

Line-up:
GK Van Der Sar 100 (y)
CB Horymarqua 99/alvaro 84
CB Elpuzzi 94/reekers (y) 84
RB U. Kavuk (y) 96/frechaut 87

RWF Monterrubio 89/lurling 84
LWF Burchet (y) 98/Sionko 89
CF Dauderwiecz (y) 98/alnenda (y) 88

(y)-from the youth team
I have a lot of great players in my reserves who are bought from the other teams but the best all come from the youth team.

My best player is Burchet who scores most of the goals (driblling speed and accuracy are 99) and if you get him in the youth team you can be happy. I cut form wide areas with him ang go for goal. previously on this position I used Nani but he came old and asked a lot of money. ;)

Dauderwiecz is also very good and you can find him too at the youth team. He's a real bomber. Good with his head. Previously on this position I played with Rooney, Monnet-paquet and haedo valdez.

on the RWF I have monterrubio. He's still new at my team but he is very fast and has great passing (left footed). previously there were Quaresma and gurzallo(verrrrrry good, fast, great shot but i payed him 100 mil and nearly bankrupt cuz of him).
