So the Anti-Meta tactic is to play the Meta tactic then🤣

[@genrich6469]

👍😂

[@johnprecious8647]

Typically, and it works Tbh

[@Laoluszn]

Used hole player scholes and Bellingham as 2 cmf’s and defensive instruction on beckenbauer as dmf…..works pretty well with 2 defensive fullbacks

[@43_dhruvnegi49]

Brother what's ur training for Bellingham and beckenebauer

[@nikosxatzo3722]

Great video analysis @rockchock..one little correction..creative playmaker style is active as a SS

[@busbyboy77]

No what he meant was putting Owen SS made his playstyle inactive.

[@nukeboynez3648]

Good video. Just learned that the Player Roles and Positions are broken in this game. You have to play players out of position to make them work better? wtf? So having Destroyer CB's in the middle is broken because they leave gaps? Furthermore you have to have Goal Poachers as SS for them to make better runs? Konami needs to fix this shit.

[@rafaszpoton3160]

Whole game is broken. Players leave big Spaces. Running wherever they want but not where You want. No pressure when You need it but oponent is glued to Your team and You cant do shit. Players with Stamina 90+ after FIRST half have red bar. No fouls for my team, scripted matches, no interceptions when ball go 30cm next to your Player. Oh… i forgot about gameplay strange slowing down and response drop down, laags and meta shit everywhere. This is not skill football game like was all the time. Only P2W packs for spenders. When PES Change to efootball this game is a Joke.

[@ShaunMbati]

It's not inherently because they ae goal poachers,when a player is inactive they act according to their stats,and since goal poachers have high OA,they make runs a lot of the time

[@butter_cup2501]

I hate qc now the game gets baffled by it and passes never go where u want them to posession all the way for me

[@lettz_g2942]

good vid Rock. starting notice only now these things. mastered dribbling now ready start use tactics and formations

[@lxrdnxtii6124]

Orchestrators are OP now especially if they are fast.

[@busbyboy77]

@@lxrdnxtii6124, Veron, I never see him mentioned, but he's really good for me. Fast, strong, good defence and passing, balance etc. If he had very high weak foot then he'd be broken.

[@thekeynotex]

@@busbyboy77Veron also carries the ball really well for a dmf

[@busbyboy77]

@@thekeynotex, yes he does, first time shot too. Very underrated in the game in my opinion.

[@AyupratomoDhang]

thank you! First time I can reach div 1 with this tactic as free to play player

[@aj7803]

Thanks bro i play a similar formation as this but I have an amf instead of an SS and a DMF on the right hand instead of a CMF. Thanks for video might rejig my formation now. Also waiting for Rijkaard as the lone DMF

[@bluemachine8236]

This somehow made my romario even better 😂 class 👌

[@busbyboy77]

No I hadn't used it, but I'd gone for a diamond formation with my United team and was using something similar so this is really useful, thanks. And I had noticed it was working well. So... I've got deep line on Casemiro, AWB as a CB on the right, Irwin LB, Scholes or Robson LCM, Mainoo or Eriksen RCM, Beckham as CM in AM position (other players can slot in there.) Cantona on the left CF, Law or Owen on the right CF (both have super sub) RVN and Yorke on the bench (RVN has super sub) Schmeichel in net and Pretty much every POW etc at CB. Park and Garnacho are others on the bench. The problem I have is that I haven't got good consistent wingers (I had big time Rashford but gave his skill to show time Mbappe 🤦🏻‍♂️) so I felt the diamond was the way to go. I've got the CM's in a bit tighter. It works well, but I'll definitely try this. Thanks for sharing, Rock 🤟

[@ShaunMbati]

Hi bro ,i think my firat message didnt send so sorry if there are 2 messages of mine😅.Anyways i have a few questions: 1.How important is th OA for the cfs,in particular the right one.I would like to use maradona classic no 10 there but im not sure if his attacking awareness is high enough 2.is it okay to use more physically strong cfs as opposed to nimble ones,i noticed you didnt really use any plays like haaland,is there a reason for that? 3.which playstyle is best to pair with dlf up front,inactivated,goal poacher,fitb of something else?how important are speed stats in this position as well(can i use the free messi showtime) 4.what are some free to play alternatives fir mattheus, i have valverde,enzo fernandez,bernado ailva potw ,england rice and booster petit?what are the most imoortant stats?❤

[@43_dhruvnegi49]

Valverde is a beast

[@darshanpandya10811]

great observation rock , really loved it ... i am using romario ( from barca pack - fox in the box ) and deep lying messi to counter the man marking and in counter i am using lamine yamal

[@MasterSifou.]

Interesting, if you have a destroyer as dmf with deep line and a destroyer CB with defensive instructions, it wouldn't work?

[@basbassve8897]

Rock, I don't have any decent DMF. Best one is Amadou Onana. So now I'm thinking. I play like this: Maldni-Gvardiol-Saliba-Costacurta. And Vieira as DMF. Now since both fullbacks are defensive, I don't feel that I need to put defensive on them. So instead, I'm putting Anchoring+Defensive on Vieira. I really don't know if it's smart but so far 5 games 5 wins with rage quit before 70th mins :)

[@johnprecious8647]

Rock chok i swr your de best reached. Div 1 just now with this tactics❤❤

[@defara-o1x]

all is good and well when the game works as intended and players make runs and don't stop midway. Look at opponents AI defensive line during your move at 1:45, lol what is that? You are explaining it like you did something special there, but there is so much help/handicap in this game it's ridiculous. If you didn't get help there you wouldn't even get a shot. Even then his Van Buyten should block the shot, but it goes through his legs. He has 7 players in around the box and you haven't played through him to have a decent chance and yet you score. Look at Van Buyten Through your whole "move" he is deliberately making your players onside while also not marking messi for a short pass looool. I'm not gonna get into how the fullback should have stayed on Messi the whole time it's just too fun to watch. With the amount of help you are getting there you should be able to play through him with ease and score a tap in, but in the end it doesn't matter what you do because the game intended for you to score anyways so it's almost impossible to make the "wrong" move and also it's impossible for him to stop it. You can also look at his other players as well there like de paul covering then stoping to make space for you etc. I can keep dissecting other situations you showed or should I got to full matches and actually show the differences between two teams AI on any given they and how much they help/hinder chance creation

[@ebubemuoneke4259]

Don't waste your breathe explaining this game..all you have to do is laugh...the game is so bad that you know when the game wants you to concede and when they want you to score... youre just a vessel holding a controller...the end result of the game is determinant on them and this is so prevalent in this current state...most people with 4-2-1-3 and then quick counter just simulate unrealistic passes going forward and there must be an opening..either by the ball ghosting through your defender whos asleep or the ai breaking your defensive line and playing big time messi onside whos as dangerous with either foot from any angle... there's no loophole round this game..just play it..laugh..win some..lose some..and go do something else with your life

[@ModernistGaming85]

calm down

[@defara-o1x]

@@ebubemuoneke4259 exactly. I understand he is making content with these videos about tactics but in the end it doesn't matter. I wish these youtuber made videos complaining about that . Also I'm curious to know about how the game stopped lagging for him overnight? I guess konami put some server near him and made it much better for him? since that plays a huge role how the game behaves

[@ben_fade]

If you have albertini try him on DMF/CMF in vierras Position.

[@rishiadittya6626]

Can I use Messi creative playmaker version as ss, as he can pass, score and driblle past defence as well

[@butter_cup2501]

Im top 300 using posession 106 messi at cf

[@danielsempere3395]

Great video!

[@themountainman491]

Problem is I don't have Proper DMF, my team always lack coverage in mid after loosing possession.

[@Alexaxxxo]

Most important position tbh. If you spend money on the game it’s worth investing in either vieira or rijkaard depending on which play style you prefer

[@copypastesky]

just get a base anchor man dmf

[@emirebenike]

Tchouameni zakaria or rodri

[@Minglingjae]

My team is too shit for this to even work because they become disabled against full booster teams

[@JS-rh4pn]

My boosters become disabled vs shit teams. Lots of people will agree here.

[@Minglingjae]

@@JS-rh4pn shit severs and script absolutely agree.

[@nevermore6540]

This strat works for me. Except against cheat codes like bullet header and blitz curler 😂

Bullet meh not really, but blitz curlers are op​@@nevermore6540

[@EzanaTibebu]

what formation do u think counters this one?

[@stipidman93]

im still mad at myself for not taking xabi alonso

[@yanarchy]

great breakdown

[@skxnny1k]

I can confirm this is a good tactic

[@bisauce03]

Bro its perfect , i have played some few div 3 games and i have not loose any of them . But how about those who play 424 long ball counter ???

[@rockchok9]

You will be fine vs 424, your deep line dmf means you will have 5 defenders vs his 4 attackers

[@bisauce03]

And in one of my account , i have no goal poacher to play ss , but i have a dummy runner , david villa is it ok?

[@peterjaster1417]

Can I use viera but anchoring at dmf?

[@Weanerbeanerdefeater]

whats the pirlo build?

[@obinwosu95]

At 1:45....mans players where totally asleep...must have put counter target cause wth

[@matheusalves799]

Great content, I like your videos. I have a question, it works with possession game?

[@PEStylesHD]

Yo bro did you test out the formation I sent you with all the instructions ?

[@rockchok9]

Nah was working on this video. I'm going to try out new tactics now

[@PEStylesHD]

@@rockchok9 alright mate, the first voice notes I sent you trying to explain the formula didn’t record my voice I forgot to switch from headset to controller mic, so I just quickly explained the idea behind the tactic in the last voice notes , I’ve tested out the formation with different players and play styles but ultimately you do need a certain crop of players for the formation to work

[@LGKikko13]

lol this is exactly the tactic im using - but with dechamps

[@justmightbeokay]

What do you mean by inactive playstyle? How is Romario's playstyle inactive if he's at SS?

i think FITB only works as solo CF

So i hear this correctly? Are u man marking your opponents defenders with your attackers?

I heard the same

[@danieltriana9610]

Didn’t understand that part either.

[@rockchok9]

No I'm not. I'm saying when my cfs get marked the ss will be free in the middle

@@rockchok9 ok thank u for clarifying that.

Does this only work on QC or would LBC work bro

Someone else commented they are using the same but with LBC so I assume it does

Is IT ok If i have matthaus orchestrator

[@rockchok9]

Yes

[@Creetutzu]

@@rockchok9 can he still play the box to box role as i like big time kimmich as an orchestrator more

[@IsSalty]

It's just a shame you still can't consistently beat p2w god squads via formations, tactics and skill. Doesn't matter what formation you play when your opponent has every single epic card in the game, of which 95% of all players above div 3 have. Literally have not played vs a single team rated lower than 3.1k this season. This is the most boring football game ever created at this point. Spend money and you have fun.

[@Ricooooo2r]

Insane yap

[@gregorydufresnoy726]

Good vid but its not anti meta . The meta is quick counter or long ball counter , thats it the rest is preference.

[@ramo1824]

your meta tactics is paying a lot of money to EFOOTBALL for coins
