FIFA UT HELP!

I'm okay in the other parts of the game which is strange, even online normal H2H my win loss is about 3, it's defending which I'm bad at! Although it is getting harder to attack the more people are containing.

I've got a German 4-1-2-1-2 team. Sure I get beat by people with nani and junior Hoilett pace abusing but I've got into division 1 pretty easily despite being new to it.


Think you need to answer SKAs questions if you need some more help

I am pretty bad at defence so have adopted a technique around holding them up with defenders and tackling with midfielders.

If you drag players out of position you are likely to get punished

If I feel I'm struggling, I usually build 3 star silver pace abusing sides.
Scout the leagues and find defenders that are fairly tall but are really fast and have decent stamina (actual ability in defence isn't as improtant for some reason). I find that's the best way to get your win loss up as you play against the people building sides who have all bronze players and one good player so it's easy to contain them.

Plus, if you struggle in defence, go offline, turn game speed to fast and try defending against an AI Barca or Real Madrid using a 3 star or lower team. You'll soon learn how to defend well.

Unfortunately SKA, you can't play ranked matches on UT. It's either cups, or seasons, which pairs you up with anyone. Ruining the mode.

NO! MY MASTERPLAN!

what formation did you play in fifa 12, charlag? people might say 4-1-2-1-2 formation is the best personally i dont like it as there is one midfielder back plus its darn expensive so play to your strengths.

though im switching from my regular 433 to try 4-3-1-2 because it looks like CAMs are important on fifa 13 with this new passing and intelligence.

liga portuguese, ligue 1 and the dutch league are great for cheap pace and dribbling which is what you need, a good combination between the two.
with the new first touch system if you dont have good dribbling you can make it harder for yourlself from my experience.

I was wicked at FIFA 12 ..
Was on 47 game winning streak in division 1 head to head

FIFA 13 can't even put 2 wins together in division 3. Seems like its so much harder to score and the more people I play the more of them use 5 defenders at the back its pathetic.

I find the new FIFA pretty boring online

And,you can't do quick passing around and in the box like in FIFA 12 because they control the ball like conference league players
