We continue with this tactical guide to be able to defend better in FIFA 18. Remember that you have to pay great attention to our tips so you can practice them. In addition, we recommend playing offline to practice these techniques, that way you can be ready for when you face your friends and opponents online.
Select the strongest midfielders
You must create a strength in the center of the field that is tremendously strong; You can achieve this with players of good stealing and high resistance. Choosing them is even more important than the defenders, since it is difficult from the midfield to try to score a goal. Try to have at least one powerful midfielder who can help you be pushing throughout the game and be good at the cuts. If you don’t have any one, use FIFA 18 Coins to get one now in transfer market.
Lean on the second defender
When you are pressing to remove the ball from the opponent, do not forget to press the R1 (in PlayStation) or RB (in Xbox) to call a second defender and help us to make the ball. Then as soon as you have approached, use the steal button to catch the ball and run to make the counter attack.
Do not leave your area unnecessarily
Although it is a good idea to steal a ball and go on the attack to score a goal, if the ball is taken away from you, you will surely harm the rest of the team. Try to climb with only 3 or 4 players leaving the rest in the back area. If you have fast players up, even if they do not have good technique, you can stay in front of the rival goalkeeper in a very simple way.
Do not lose sight of the player and intercept the pass
You can do this with the L2 button (in PlayStation) or LT (in Xbox) where a player will move laterally without losing sight of the attacker. It is also ideal to intercept passes with what we can be controlling a second player while we try to steal with the first.
