FIFA Tip 5: The Right Lineup

The list should reflect your individual style of play. For flank players 4-3-3 or 3-4-3 are recommended. If you are more defensive, 4-2-2-2 or 4-1-2-1-2 are ideal.
Make sure that the lineup matches your tactics and that the players used match your lineup.

It is not only worth looking at the individual attributes of your players when building a team in the longer term, after all, these are more important in FIFA 14 than in the previous versions.
You should attach importance to this: a strong shot for the free kick from the 30-meter area, a high jump for the defender in front of the goal, a strong header for the flank receiver.

Like the lineup, you should adapt the tactics to your own style of play. If, for example, you use a three-way chain in the defense, a higher pressing value is recommended.
Furthermore, you can adjust the speed for attacks, tendency to fall offside or pass risk to your liking. You can also use the quick tactics (can be called up using the up button on the directional pad), which can help you depending on the game situation.

Play "Safe": You shouldn't rush anything in general. This may sound misleading when it comes to dangerous situations or counterattacks, but mistakes in FIFA 14 usually have serious consequences.
Use the secure pass in possession of the ball (Xbox: A button pressed during LT; Playstation: X button pressed during L2) to produce fewer bad passes. Pay attention to your running speed when shooting a goal - the faster you are, the faster the shot will fill up.
In return, you should only use the Sprint and Grätsch buttons on the defensive if there is no other option or if you are sure to get the ball. This not only protects the fitness of your players, but also prevents the opponent from passing you too quickly and possibly landing a hit.

Attacks over the wings usually have the greatest chance of success. With a normal flank, it is optimal if the flank receiver is still in the run between the five and penalty lines. Headers are the most powerful.
You can also hit short flanks (Xbox: 2x X button; Playstation 2x square) and flat flanks (Xbox: 3x X button; Playstation 3x square).
An early edge allows you to play the leather from midfield into the penalty area (Xbox: X button when LB is pressed; Playstation: square when L1 is pressed).
So that every flank is really a success, it means: practice, practice, practice. It works best online with a friend. If your friends do not yet have a Fifa 14, you can buy it from us for all platforms at the cheapest price.
