You’re so right about defending. I’m an elite player currently in div 2 but when I get frustrated the video made me realise I pull out my CB and that’s why I concede getting more agitated, and the point you made about how the cb should just be a wall is such good image of how to defend positioning reigns supreme in defending . When I vs some defenders that are slow and I question how I can’t sprint past them it’s because they know to stick to positions awesome video
Thank you so much! Defending has been a huge challenge for me, and i have struggled to defend and win games. After i watched this video, i went on a 5 game win streak, with 2 clean sheets. Much love ❤
The problem is cms/cdms not dropping back even when they're on holding and defend. Opponent's run past like theres no one there and automatically you feel like you have to get ur cb out to defend
It's stressing bro my cms n cdms late response when I switch on and players just ran past or the AI just switch on n then they don't tackle for you either so really good gamers just ran past like your not even there it's irritating!!
Cdm's and cm's are way too high and too late half the time. They hardly do anything defensive wise. Played 3 games with 19 goals being scored in total. Its a mess
This is golden. I was panic defense for two days pressing all kind of button without any success. After this video, I got so much better. Keeping a clean sheet for 3 games straight now.
This year the game is horrible. Defending is bad, i don't know how does my opponents gave speed Boosts. I literally have Nico Williams and I have defenders with 70 Pace or less catching him. While my St juste with 93 Pace and Inácio with 80 Pace don't catch a 85 Pace opponent. To score is very hard because i play a lot of passing and asking my guys to Run with L1 but they always get catched up or marked. I don't even know how do people press O and they take the Ball out of me from behind, front and sides. But i press it and they gain the rebound. Horrible, another year, another fail.
@@Real49Life😂 you mean gameplay issue. If you have no delay a 5 year old can defend easily. But with delay a top pro player can’t do shit. That’s how it is
Maybe a video on how not to lose the ball in dangerous positions. This year the dribbling is so bad that trying to turn away against press or holding possession more generally has become trickier
Neal, you're the best at coaching this game. Kudos to you. I actually went back at 2:18 to go back to see if you did tackle and you didn't! Patience is a virtue and what you're pretty much teach is for us not to be too aggressive and rush blindly into the opponents, running jockey and calm positioning just as real-world defenders do. Well done man 👏
Problem seems to be, as with former fifa's, that if you are too passive, you also get punished, so finding that balance on where to react or let the game do it for you. Because the game is very stupid, and often feels like you have to control all 10 players at the same time, but ofc you can't.
Bro if you play against really good dribbler that passive not tacking will get you 6-0 In no time I swear it works against average player but really skilled players will always embarrassed you n make you feel frustrated. Remember the game is scripted n coded so it's easy to manipulate if you're really good at the game....I guess I'm not! FYI it'd the only game I know how to play fucking irritating 😅
@@atogratto2746 Truth is, a large % of Neal's channel subscribers and those in his FIFA academy are not pro gamers who get 15+ wins in Champs every week 😂 so this passive defending works for average players like me who are probably in Div 5 below on FC25 right now.
I've found that the Block playstyle + is really solid this year as well, I got Carragher from the hero pre-order and he's incredible at it when the positioning is good.
Does this work the same against the ai? I’ve been playing legendary and even though the games are always close it seems like every time they go forward they score. The defending seems impossible at times as they always pick the perfect pass in the box
@@jackwilson888 I don’t think there’s anything you can do about it. Otherwise everyone who does the guides would show us how to do it in career mode or kick off, not FUT where it’s completely different.
i'm Elite player every year and avg rank 2 wkl but still watching and learn from you Neal. I'm quit FC24 few month b4 Fc25 and i'm so struggling right now but you help me out.
I have been useing this technique (using cms/cdms for moveing around and keeping the CBS in place). It works mostly but there are games where the opponents moves past the midfield like they are not even there, not like the moderately slow paced game play you just showed here. Is it cause of the depth?
Its amazing but only if you know how to use it or you will create a massive hole in the defence and concede a lot of people panic press/hold teammate contain without realising
Love it when the CBs just back off the attacking player on their own before I even switch to them... thats nice... that doesnt happen with Virgin Van Dyke does it? No. The game is broken.
Nah I’m obviously just shit now, I’ve been playing fairly well. Hitting 11 wins in champs and in the elite division but idk what’s happened recently I can’t play this game. Everybody feels so slow and they don’t turn the game wasn’t good before this but now idk if I’ll be able to continue
My left and right back are not defending, my center mids are not defending, cb’s don’t walk with the striker at crosses, keepers stays in his goal at crosses, keepers won’t stay when I move them at corners, nothing functions normal in this game. Everything with tactics.. sweeper keeper, backs on stay back defend, cm’s on holder defend, but AI is not doing shit for me
Same as me, I spend all game putting in a few good tackles just for them to get rebounds and score meanwhile I have to get 30 passes a game with my players to get 2 goals and still lose to rebound or AI not reacting to in-game situations like everyone else's do. I just cba
I don't know, the people i am facing defends like crazy. Their players run miles to cut a short pass. And the pressure is insane. They just keep spamming the tackle button constantly until they commit a foul or take the ball i don't know how. What am i missing?
A question to you and youre Community.. are L1 Triangle passes Not that good This year? Because there so inconsistent or is this a thing in the settings. I have Semi
Are there any secret T&C’s when it comes to the money back guarantee. Or if I actually don’t get better then you refund the money. Also how do you measure that? Just looking at buying rn, just don’t want to spend £30 for nothing
I’m div 1 and the only way I concede is over the tops on the wings and even though they are on fullback defend my fullbacks literally just stand there and do nothing
I just feel like my defence is so open and wide and not marking players even though there fullbacks defenders and I've got a CDM as a 5th whereas the players I'm playing against are so tight I can't break through in the box at all
I wanna know how I get beaten to the ball all the time, and my players don’t sit as high as my opponents. Also have no space on the ball as opponent press is mad 😅 no matter what setting applied doesn’t seem like it works 🙄
Why do my CBs run away from the ball if someone splits them in the box? it’s like they are trying to defend the space when the ball is level with them if they would go to it they could make a tackle but they back away trying to guard the pass
I have an 86 rated team with some 88 rated players, but i can't defend with them as you show it. They feel like tanks, turning super slow. When the opponents player runs towards me, my player is completely immobile. It makes no sense, the opponents just slip through. My players feel as if someone is steering against my moves. If I run to the left, it's as if someone is pulling them to the right. I don't understand it. Also: If the opponent is right in front of me, head-on, with the ball towards my player... then I press tackle, but my player does nothing. No attack, nothing.
5:45 why aren't you switching to the girl? She would've gotten the ball and in case she looses it somehow you could still switch back to the guy or press RB to get his assistance. Would that be a good way to handle that situation?
Yes but most people who are watching this i am ideally training them not to do it this is where the run out and miss, but if yo uknow what your doing yes that would be correct
Hi Neal, I'm trying to subscribe, but my visa card is giving me an error. I'm from Ghana. Is there any other payment method for Ghanaians? PayPal is not allowed in my country.
Please help, it’s not like everyone is struggling like me/us.. Because literally every player I face has their back 4 always available to defend against me, but when they attack I’m so exposed..what’s the tactics for it?
I can’t go above .500 on this fkn game. Either it’s broken or I’m fried. This is coming from someone who’s been ranked top 100 in a few sports games in the past and top 300 on Madden 24. So I can work the sticks and can see. I just don’t get how my players can’t close down the ball. Second man press doesn’t work. Do I hold it or tap it or what? Opponents can just sit back and play possession on me comfortably and I can’t make a tackle. Meanwhile they’re tackling my pass receivers as soon as they touch the ball. And from behind! Big guys like Haaland and Lukaku. I don’t get why I can’t tackle them back from behind, front, side. I’m frustrated af right now. My AI players just don’t do anything. Even when I win it feels cheap or like my opponent didn’t know what he was doing.
When i have delay its almost impossible to win the ball back. How am i supposed to do it? 2nd man press is always a slight jog. Im very good at reading the play but my players are never fast enough to get into position. Also the players don't lock on, so alot of the time I just run past the opponent. My AI dont do anything if the balls near them they ignore it alot of the time they're not even looking in the correct direction.
It is because '2'nd man press' as it's called, is only activated for a given amount of time each time, seems incredibly dumb, actually. I never understood this.
I run and get pen and papers as soon as you open the player stats; i think my wife lost last the quantum of respect for me and ITS GONE with all hope i ever growing up :d
I still have one BIG problem: When I play against players like Saka or Doku, they just speed boost right past me and get to the edge of the goal line and then they pass to their striker who then scores. I have to focus on Saka so he can't score directly, so how can I deal with the incoming striker in that moment? And: Basically every game there are multiple situations in which the ball is rolling right next to a player of mine, but the player just isn't try to get the ball... that happens in my offense as well as my defense... it's so annoying and I feel helpless... no idea what's going on there Any help is appreciated. I will check out your patreon btw! You helped me so freaking much and that's the least I can do.
Bro fr how do you defend? When I listen to this gut n play passive n don't tackle really skilled players ran past me the AI not doing shit but letting players run past too even with 2nd man press! Smfh!
Is it just me or nobody tracks back? The defenders and midfielders stay still and just watch the attackers score.. opposite team attacks and nobody is marking or defending. Is it an old gen problem?
I get the mechanics but something is off ... when your opponent is attacking slow till in front of your 16 mark .My defenders just hold back and don’t even stand close to their opponent,which is really annoying ...Because that’s the point where we need pressure but they just stand there no matter what I do. For example they go past the side line they do a skill move and they stop for support. Pass to the center and they are in front of my cb . But they don’t apply pressure at all and even keep distance which makes it easy to do another skill move ,pass and score. I'm currently in seasons 24-4-4 so that’s not to bad.. can anyone relate my frustration?
Can anyone please tell me why both my CB leaves a huge open spot in the middle always? I have VVD and the other cb is the 89 female from Barca but they keep leaving a huge open spot in the middle for my opponent to just run through so easily. If anyone can help please let me know
why is it like im playing against a bot the sticks to me and tracks my every movement 1 v 1 then when i try the same thing its like my defender is on skates just glides passed him as im trying to stick to him
This just does not work. I take kick off, pass it to my right wing, dribble forward, lose the ball, look at my back line: Two CBs: one is behind the other. RB: hugging my RW who just lost the ball. LB. Standing off the pitch. My back line looks like a ‘Z’ CDMs also don’t get back and want to play striker. Everyone in my back line is on defend even fullbacks and my full midfield is on defend. Tried everything and nothing works and I want to die.
does anyone know why it doesn't let me switch players i'm using for heading on defending corners, I want to use van dijk but it doesn't switch when i press it
It depends on the timing of your tackle, and from where you tackle from, if you for example tackle from behind, it's always easier to get carded since you rarely catch the ball, and only the player that way, keep practicing. It is not easy.
I’m having a problem where my players are jogging instead of sprinting while defending. Any other mechanics are fine, it’s just that they can’t run while defending. Does anyone else have this issue?

I get the mechanics but something is off ... when your opponent is attacking slow till in front of your 16 mark .My defenders just hold back and don’t even stand close to their opponent,which is really annoying ...Because that’s the point where we need pressure but they just stand there no matter what I do. For example they go past the side line they do a skill move and they stop for support. Pass to the center and they are in front of my cb . But they don’t apply pressure at all and even keep distance which makes it easy to do another skill move ,pass and score. I'm currently in seasons 24-4-4 so that’s not to bad.. can anyone relate my frustration?
Solution pour la defense adaptif ? Imposible de prendre le joueur éloigné
Why does defenders have a skating effect, as if they can't control themselves
So how do I get ai to do something
do i not tackle at all ? like no regular talking ?
Problem for me is when I do this and do not move my cb’s and backs my opponents just run through my defence because my cb’s don’t do anything.
Yup!
Can anyone please tell me why both my CB leaves a huge open spot in the middle always? I have VVD and the other cb is the 89 female from Barca but they keep leaving a huge open spot in the middle for my opponent to just run through so easily. If anyone can help please let me know
why is it like im playing against a bot the sticks to me and tracks my every movement 1 v 1 then when i try the same thing its like my defender is on skates just glides passed him as im trying to stick to him
cant get used to that ball relative apart from that doing ok :)
Great video but vvd is always out of position and chasing back 😂😂😂
I am a bit terrible at defending 😢😮😢😮
defending ai will just stagger your back line for no reason. defenders will just start stepping backwards away from attackers for zero reason
Me too😅😮😊😢
I’m really struggling to defend.🤦🏾♂️
This works only in multiplayer. It don't work with the legendary AI. It's so scripted.
This just does not work. I take kick off, pass it to my right wing, dribble forward, lose the ball, look at my back line:
Two CBs: one is behind the other.
RB: hugging my RW who just lost the ball.
LB. Standing off the pitch.
My back line looks like a ‘Z’
CDMs also don’t get back and want to play striker.
Everyone in my back line is on defend even fullbacks and my full midfield is on defend.
Tried everything and nothing works and I want to die.
does anyone know why it doesn't let me switch players i'm using for heading on defending corners, I want to use van dijk but it doesn't switch when i press it
You have to aim at him to score a header with him, on defending corners press l1 and switch to VVD and then mark the area
@@NealGuides thanks
I spend a whole year learning to defend in 24 now ill spend another year learning to defend do you know how stupid that sounds?
Rudiger or Saliba please Neal
Either but ill go saliba
Everytime i click on ⭕️ to tackle.. i get a card.. this wasn’t happening in the previous versions.. anyone can help?
It depends on the timing of your tackle, and from where you tackle from, if you for example tackle from behind, it's always easier to get carded since you rarely catch the ball, and only the player that way, keep practicing. It is not easy.
I’m having a problem where my players are jogging instead of sprinting while defending. Any other mechanics are fine, it’s just that they can’t run while defending.
Does anyone else have this issue?
Same. Waiting for patch
Bro my defenders were literally walking during an counter attack
