Counter Attack

The team will try to defend deep and absorb pressure, getting number behind the ball. When possession is won, they will counter by getting players and the ball forward quickly.
Teams that play this way often give up a lot of possession to their opposition in exchange for a solid defence.

High Pressure

The team will defend high up the pitch and mark tightly in an attempt to win the ball early.
It's an effective tactic to stop the opposition from having too much time on the ball, but it is more vulnerable to incisive through passes.

Possession

Classic possession football. The team will move up the pitch when the opportunity presents itself, but keeping the ball will be of paramount importance. Players will opt to support more than going on forward runs.
This is a tactic used by teams comfortable on the ball, patient, and like to play a short passing game.

Long Ball

The team will look to play long balls from the defence, either into space behind the opposing back line, or up to a target man who can bring it down or flick it on for his striking partner.
This tactic is best employed by teams with a fast striker, or strikers, that are good in the air.
