Great video Uncle Mish! Thanks to your tips I created 6 counter attacks in one game and surprised the entire top 3 in our league. Thank you! Tom

Amazing content Papa Mish. Don't know if you did it already, but it would be beneficial for me, at least. A video explaining the pressing tactics and specially how to play against a pressing team.
Kind regards. Keep up the good work.

Watched this video yesterday and already seeing results, played three teams that had way more TSI than I (still lost) but here is a third match that just finished [tournamentmatchid=18447071]
1st match [tournamentmatchid=18444044]
2nd match [tournamentmatchid=18443891]
These guidelines work well, Mish is a legend

Very nice guide, thanks a lot! Do you recommend man marking with central defender, which decrease tactical level from 23 to 18 (divine(+3) to magical)?

very nice and informative video. i use counter attacks while listening to Killer of giants by Ozzy.
i got no cash for no fancy midfielder. no-no sir!
i shall defend and i shall bite like a cobra in my attacks.
-built a huge defence.
-the higher your average pass skills, the better.
-get as many specialty players.
-avoid any type of player in any position, who has less than 5 in pass/scoring.in my mid section players for example i go for scoring above 5.
-make sure your average set pieces is high enough.
-study your next opponent and avoid playing with fixed eleven on all matches.if an opponent sucks at his right defence, choose the best formation to possibly exploit that side.

Very good Guide. Thank you. I played CA some years ago permanently. There are some important changes in this days f.e. MM. With your guide i'm up to date now :) In my opinion it's also important to have good SP Skill as CA Team. Keep up with the good work !!!

Great video Uncle Mish very apreciated, when you have time could you make one about the pressing tactic, there is very little about it and a comprehensive video from you could shed a lot of light for us new managers. Kutgw by the way :)

Like a teacher. Thanks for the video and keep it up! I will share it in the Peruvian HT groups

Hi Papa! Great video as usual :-). Have you ever thought in analise the CAEX (CA Extreme) team and the skill level for the players? Thanks!

[mikevdmarel]

This is really helpful, now my team is getting relativly stronger I'm struggling to find the best tactics for when you are the better team. I hope you will also make video's of the of the other tactics! Thanks for the help.

Hi Mish, is there a video on how to "be the longshoot team"? What teams is it good for?

[youtubewatcher]

Hi Mish, is there anything worth knowing about Pressing tactics? It seems to me Pressing works well against counter attack teams. Thank you.

[benvanderveer]

Hi, what is influencing your tactics level?
Is it fully based on the skills of your players, or is this also based on how often you play a certain tactic?

[Trefort]

Hi, is there any difference in using a player in a bad form for MM in terms of the MM effectivity?

[dlchitzu]

hi Uncle, what are your thoughts on using in a 5-3-2 with 2 wingers for the IM slot a powerful defensive mid? is it worth it?

[andreischrenck]

Hello Mish! First of all, great, great work, man! You helped me a lot!

I want to ask you what specialities should my 5 defenders have? Is it recommended that all of them have specs? Is it ok to have defenders that have no specs? Are there any specs that I must avoid for my defensive line in CA? I understand from the video that I must have at least one Quick and one Technical Defender.

Thanks and keep up the good work!

Do you suggest long shots against CA ? I believe if you have good set pieces in your team long shots ignore opponents defence ratings.

[boazsopher]

Hi, your channel, giving me,
GREAT HELP!!! i am loosing many games when the other plays CA or gut a strong defense, lately... even when i am much stronger at all field except my attack compering to his, is something changed???

Hi Uncle Mish! I have a question because after 4 real life years of hattrick my old proyect of midfielders is getting to and end. So because I still have some good strikers (one is fast) and also midfielders around 30 years I can use with alot of passing (also one fast player). My plan is to start a proyect training defending, so I can "restart" my team building a strong defense first as a base for my team, then going back to playmaking. So I was thinking to buy 5 defenders, who allready have been trained(for my first 11 inmediatly) and five 17 year olds. So the question is, what level of defending should a 20 or 21 y old trainnee be? I only trained scoring and playmaking and i got 21-22 old players at lvl 14 maybe on main skill. But its true that defending grow slower? Also, how much passing is a must have? I mean the level, 10, 12 or more? I just wanna make sure to do the right investments haha. Thank you If you read this 🙈 I love your videos I'm so glad you made and keep making this very usefull videos! There is always something new to learn in this game. Thats what keeps me playing it. Greetings from Spain!! 💪

Mish, i see one of your main defenders have no speciality? How's that, don't you tell us to always train players with a speciality in the long run? Also i think you didn't mention the ideal midfield ratio: 60/40, 70/30, 80/20 etc or it doesnt matter as much? Thank you!
