I love it. You take a potentially complicated subject, break it down, and make it so even an idiot like me can understand what to do and how to do it. I wish my teachers at school were as good at doing so.
Thanks! The first draft of this video had a lot of real world data to explain pressing and intensities but I felt it would be annoying to follow. So I decided to keep it simple. Glad you enjoyed it. You’ve given me a feel good factor. Thanks
I used the idea with Red Star Belgrade and ended up with 14 straight league wins, beating napoli 2-0 and rangers 2-1, also fairly dominating when losing, so i can confirm it works. Thanks a lot!
Your Ragnick video gave me a really good idea of how to create traps. I know look to focus on a zone of the pitch to encourage the ball to. For example, I’m using a 4-3-1-2 with Sturm Graz. I decided to set the zone that I want to draw the opposition into to be the area between the left striker, AMC and MCL Therefore I set up in a split block, telling my front 3 + MCL to close down more, tackle harder. I set opposition insurrections to focus on triggering the press on the opponent Right FB + DMCR / MCR , then i tight mark all the players next to the players that I am pressing. I also show the RCB + MCL onto his right foot to encourage a pass into the pressing trap. Pregame if I notice left side of the opposition is technically weaker I will focus I will simply flip the pressing zone. It’s worked great and is exactly what you described in this video - thanks Daljit completely opened my eyes to a new way to defend.
I've always complained about not having pressing traps in FM, but never thought about using ind instructions :D Great suource of inspiration as always!
Discovered your videos today. I've played quite a lot of FM, but you've shown/told me more about how the engine and tactics seem to work than anyone else in just 4 videos. :')
I've just added this to my watchlist to view in the morning. Off topic but will you be discussing the update and any positive/negative impacts its had on gameplay? I'm sure many of us are keen to hear your take. Cheers.
Great video as always. This is definitely something I will take a look at in my tactic and double check if my players are applying the press correctly. Do you make any changes if you see the pressing not working properly?
I watch this vid many times and it helped me a lot in understanding the pressing traps and trigger, but I still struggle to recreate Pep's pressing traps. Can you make a vid to help me out sir?
I've started using the opposition instructions the way you do based on these videos. One thing I find confusing in the interface, is that despite the positional opposition instructions being set, the individual opposition instructions don't show that you're showing the left wingback onto their right foot, for example. But, I'm assuming it's still doing that based on the positional instruction, it just doesn't copy over to the individual instruction on the UI!
If you set my position it stays as long as you do it before a game. You can always check by going into the game and checking. You need to click on each position because it defaults to player first. However if you click on position you will see the OIs.
@@BusttheNet I’m confused, you said to set up the press where you want to win it back. In the video you said you wanted to win it back in the middle but the OI for triggering the press is on the CBs? I think I’m just failing to understand something
I have noticed that my high line keeps getting caught out, would it ruin the tactic to drop the line of engagement and my defensive line whilst removing the offside trap?
If you play with a middle block, would you still use these pressing traps or "Get stuck in", as you suggest in your Agrippa 4231 video? Thanks for your videos. By far they are the best to understand the game.
is there any option i can set the oppositions instructions and they are automaticly ticked for match days? i always have to set them per hand for each player (not the whole instructions but ticking the use Position Oi instead of Player Ois) thanks for your input Rashid!
Tactics>Opposition Instructions> And set them by position you always have two options. It defaults to player choose the second option. Then you never need to change
@@BusttheNet I totally got to that point, I was asking for match days if there is one button to automatically tick alle the opponents OIs to position instead of players :D
I have a couple questions. If you are trying to set a trap in the center why do you not trigger press the DM, MC, and AMC? Also, if the AMR is a winger and not an IF do you still want to show him onto his strong foot? Thanks!
Keep a narrow and shallow shape and tight mark. Tackle hard the central players but tight mark and press the wide players. Show the wide players inside so their only pass option is the centre. I never show weaker foot because sometimes they could be strong on both feet. So it could backfire, and since most of them don’t have great balance and agility, turning to dribble is going to be affected by whichever foot is stronger. So to prevent myself from getting a headache I rather show them wide and let them cross.
Yes Teamwork, Bravery, Determination, Acceleration, Anticipation, Concentration, Stamina. These are the core attributes you need. If you have low anticipation and crossing, it will affect you badly on transitions. There are more attributes but those attributes are relevant for keeping the ball and others for using the ball. I think I will do a video, beats typing everything out.
Makes sense. Combined with a narrow defensive width and I would imagine it works. You might have to set tight marking to never on the outside players you want to draw the ball to, then close down always on them to trigger the press. You could also show the middle players onto their corresponding foot facing the flanks. So the MCL onto his left, MCR onto his right, etc.
Hi Daljit, thanks for the informative videos. One question, I still don't understand the show onto foot instruction. You say if I want the right winger to stay outside you show him onto the right foot? Doesn't that mean that you force him to use the left foot, thus having to cut inside?
Show onto foot means you’re encouraging the player to use the selected foot. Think of it in basketball if you know a player always drives right you are going to adjust your defensive stance to deny right and allow him space to drive left. So if you have ‘show onto right foot’ selected in FM your defender will position himself to cut off the players left foot, thus forcing him to use his right foot more.
You are then using player specific marking you need to be careful with that unless you intentionally want players following a target. For example you might want an AMC to specifically man mark the DM, and you set him to man mark specifically. If you use OIs that warning shouldn’t come up. It only happens with specific man marking

I'm glad you're talking about this now. I've been using pressing traps since FM 20

Clever stuff, I've just turned FM off for the night but everytime I watch these videos it makes me load it back up 😁 xx
I am the hook line and sinker
@@BusttheNet just reading my message and wondering why the F I put 2 kisses at the end? 😅 I must have just been messaging my mother or something.
Quality videos are back, thank you. Keep them coming
thank you, exactly the video I need, since I feel like my players don't press enough
This is brilliant Daljit! Very clever, will have to apply to my 442
Real good stuff now I have more skills as manager on fm 😃
Fantastic video. Looking forward to creating my own pressing triggers.
Thank you put these ideas into use on my Slovenia build a nation I was predicted to battle relegation I qualied for Europe instead 👍
Was waiting for this one great video
Well This has killed my Thursday video based on my rangick video from Monday 🤣 great video though mate thank you
Sorry

This video was done with the update in mind. I might do a match engine video with my impressions and will probably be discussing it on my livestreams.
Great video as always. This is definitely something I will take a look at in my tactic and double check if my players are applying the press correctly. Do you make any changes if you see the pressing not working properly?
Normally they work with some players and not the others, so when that happens I check their attributes. If needed I sub players on

Enjoyed you breaking down the pressing traps. Would this pressing setup work on a 433 formation ala Klopp style?
You need to set it up for where you want to win the ball. In a 433 it works for me if i hard tackle the centre
@@BusttheNet I’m confused, you said to set up the press where you want to win it back. In the video you said you wanted to win it back in the middle but the OI for triggering the press is on the CBs? I think I’m just failing to understand something

Hello nice vid as usual, but why forcing the opposition in the middle with a 442 where it is a formation weakness? Just out 9f curiosity....
Hi great video, one question: what is the style you use for this kind 442 thanks
is there any option i can set the oppositions instructions and they are automaticly ticked for match days? i always have to set them per hand for each player (not the whole instructions but ticking the use Position Oi instead of Player Ois) thanks for your input Rashid!

Are there certain player attributes best suited to a pressing tactic?

Can you use tighter marking in the middle to force teams outside

Couldn’t have answered it better myself
Thank you both!!!
Do I just ignore my assistant when he start to tell me players are being dragged out of position to mark?
You are then using player specific marking you need to be careful with that unless you intentionally want players following a target. For example you might want an AMC to specifically man mark the DM, and you set him to man mark specifically. If you use OIs that warning shouldn’t come up. It only happens with specific man marking
