[@zTravanity17]

[@bilalmustafa948]

Fifa 21 and fifa 20 are almost the same, but i have witnessed in defending is defensive awareness is a very very important attributr this FIFA... AI tends to move by anticipating where the ball is going, well only guys with 85+ defending awareness do that.... one of the most common mistake which i also do commit is when opponent scores a goal or two i will start to run with every possible player towards him and that easily allows my opponent to score, conceding a goal doesn't end the game, don't rush out with your defenders, make sure u have a CDM who can minimum run for 70 mins of a game and use him to tackle, intercept or anything.... don't use ur defenders to run towards opponent players.... great video neil as usual.. great content...

[@dquavius2341]

why is it that when i’m defending and cutting a passing lane manually, my player sees the ball passing by him about an inch from his feet and does not attempt at all to try and intercept the pass????? Also why do my players make automatic standing tackles when i don’t even press circle to make the tackle? and they then end up not even winning the ball. RIDICULOUS

For anyone having trouble switching players, change your player switch settings in the options from player to ball. It'll make it easier to switch to players around the ball.

[@yeahyeeeihomee4498]

if you to agressive, you run forward, away from the defensive line/ offside line....then you open alot of room where you was supposed to be..... but when you run backwards alone with a striker, while the rest of the defence is on a line maybe 10-15 meters higher on the field.... you give the opposite very much space to run into behnind the defesive line..... what would have been 10 meter offside before its suddenly maybe 5 meter onside....if the rest of the defence dont follow you, its maybe 15 meter for a winger on both sides and also a striker to be onside, and you are alone to stop them all.... are we not supposed to stand in a line, that put them offside, and sometimes offside trap them?.... we usually see world class defences on a line movining same direction keeping the line allmost perfect even if they move forwards or backwords.... you dont even mention that the offsideline is the reason you shouldnt be to agresive.... so my opinion is that you are right bout not be too agressive, but not the same reason as you say... and i disagree you should follow the strikers and make a big space with onside in front of you, when you ruin the offside line by runnin backwards makin a big space between you and rest of the defence.... are we not supposed to stand in a offside line, zone mark, put offside traps,,,,but not "man mark" a man til you have made a big room in front of you where anyone will be onside.... i am not hatin, and you have good videos, and say alot stuf alot people can learn from,,,,but im not so sure if you had the "correct sollution" here? especially for example at 14.20 where he made him onside by follow his run...when the pass goes he have run from a perfect line, that would made him 2-3 meter offside..... the other center back is standing there, and if they was on line it would be a CLEAR offside,,, instead he run in front of him to start with, he let him run past the other center back and still be in clearly onside,,,means even if he didnt got the pass, it could prolly come runs from everywhere, that became onside because he ruined the line with 3-5 meters..... and he has to conroll all of them all by himself,,,, what if it comes 2 wingers and a striker and they are 3 against one.... am i totaly buggin? or is it more right to say you should stay in the defensive line, and that should be straight and movin same directions?.... correction: you might be right on fifa, cus maybe the defenders dont set so good lines as in real life, and we cant controll all the players at same time....... but still on fifa you could have offside trapped him there.... i used to not be a fan of high defensive lines, cus of the enourm space it creates behind em.... but after learning more, like for example about gegenpress or pochettinos style, i see they press so high and agressive, and smart, so its no time, lanes or space to take advantage of the big room....unless you do something genious....so in modern football i think most of the best teams play with a high line, cus its safer, as long as the opposite team cant play them out of the high press..........

[@tehf00n]

Running jockey shouldn't be used all the time. Just 90% of the time. Your defending is way better when you are not using sprint. I use it, sometimes in combination with self-contain (and team contain in midfield). This ensures im always in position at distance. Then I walk towards them. If they use a skill move, you are in a much better position to stick a foot out or sprint to recover. If you have a naturally fast player (non-sprinting) it still feels like you are sprinting.

what to do if I defend will but every time i cut the ball it bounce back to him or it bounce a way from me jockey defending is not powerfully Enough in fifa 21 and the AI defender are in all over the place and they don't act like a real defender ( I'm not saying the should cut the ball no I say the position must be good that's all so when I switch to him I can defend )
