    How to defend in Fifa 14

    It seems that every time i hold the containment bottom (x for PS4), my players seems to get burn or lost as the other player either outruns him or skill moves me. Is their a way to prevent this from happening without releasing the X bottom?

    only use x in midfield besides that just manually jockey and run into the player and it'll give you the ball. it's a terrible system

      I've been terrible at defending for a while now but I have learned to not attack the player as much and jockey a few yards from the player trying to predict who he is going to pass the ball to next. I use to always use the contain button which is something you shouldn't do so try and minimize the use of contain unless needed.

      Here is a video that helped me out.

        I'm a noob, but I've converted from using contain a lot as well. I use the running jockey, and recently have found a lot of success with calling in another defender (R1 on PS4) and then using my guy to block passing lanes.

          Man Online is no joke. I've been "kick-off lob" glitched in every game so far. Kinda takes the fun out of playing online.

            It's definitely not always about attacking the player and trying to dispossess the ball. You have to learn how to defend an area, cut off passing lanes, and limit the options of the player on the ball. When you've locked him into a low percentage area you can start attacking the ball. If they're on the attack, and you're on the back foot, definitely try to move where the player is likely to play the ball instead of zeroing in on the player.

              It's annoying but just run one of your guys back to defend the lob at the kickoff and you can easily defuse it every time.

                It works best to try and just use a zonal marking system and use contain only when the attacking player gets close to your goal.

                  What does "on his back foot" mean?

                    it means exactly what it says, you are on his back foot or he is slightly in front of you. You can use this to your advantage to prevent them from cutting back behind you. I use this to herd the ball handler down the sideline to my fullback. If he slows down or cuts back he is in trouble, if he tries to burn pass you, he is in trouble. At this point they can only try to play a pass, but if they have nobody to pass to. I think you can see the point.

                      Great technique and I hated it... Then I found out how to do the body feint.

                      Perfect counter for that headache.

                          Just played a game where it was 0-0 heading into extra time (2nd half) and the person did the kick off lob glitch to score and win the game. This glitch really sucks.

                          BTW: the person send a message to me saying "You just been KSIed" what's a "KSI" or "KSIed"?

                            KSI is a guy who does FIFA videos on YouTube etc, he posted up a video about how to do that kick off goal.
