Tomorrow i play vs the #3 team (Ravenous) and the last match of the season is vs #2 (International dana). I have been superior to them mostly of the season thanks to my PM trainees but lately Ravenous has improved a lot, he is playing now one of the wingers towards middle to increase his midfield rattings and i'm worried about it. How should play vs him? keep using my usual tactic and try to use the advantage on that side of the filed or play also towards middle to be sure that my midfield will be better that his? What about also if i make that side of the field wingback to become the IM insted of the usual central defender?


This is my last game rattings, played away and won 0-5. I played 3-5-2, one of the central defenders is the one switched to IM. Also i played both wingbacks defensive and both wingers ofensive.

I'm a relative HT newbie, so take that for what it's worth...

I think you nailed the main possibilities: play your extra inner mid from the defender on the WTM side (especially since his attack is strongest in the middle, so you may as well bolster your center defense with 2 there anyway) and either play your winger TM or offensively (I would recommend offensively if you can deal with the hit to midfield, since his defense looks tough). If you're playing at home, I would say definitely play both offensively, if it's away, it's more of a tossup but I would still go with offensively.

Good luck, hope you pull off the win.

Are you playing home or away vs both these teams? What is your TS? What is your coaches leadership? What is his coaches leadership? Did you normal last match? Did he normal last match? Were you home last match? Was he home last match?

Some or all of the above could effect the outcome of your game with Ravenous. I think the suggestions JAG made are fairly good suggestions. A decent amount of midfield can be gained by having a homefield advantage.

It sounds like you won away since u said the score was 0-5 and he won at home with a score of 5-0. Assuming you both played normal and both had the same TS and that you were playing at home in this match, you shouldn't have too much of a problem.

BTW.. don't try and play one of your wingers TM if you don't have a TM winger (one with decent pm'ing).

Hope I helped a little.

Probably both TS are calm, both played normal i guess, i won 5-0 away and he won 5-0 at home. We play at my home field so of course that will help even more my midfield. One of my wingers is pasable at playmaking so i could play him TM but i think i'll play him offensive. My last doubt is about pulling that side wingback or central defensor as i always do.

pull the wingback

It worked!! finally pulled the wingback to IM and set that side central defender to Towards side. Thanks you all for the help, here is the result:
