It’s hard to defense high rating strikers in FIFA 19, but if you can do your best in defense you will win most of opponents whose squad rating isn’t higher than you. Jockeying is the key to successful defending in most situations when the attacker is running at you. Hold down L2/LT and your player will turn and face the attacker. Try to get closer to runner and do a standing tackle, with any luck, you will have a success tackling then.
There is also a special kit available, which you can unlock through a weekly challenge. To unlock the kit, all you have to do is play three Ultimate Team matches in any game mode. Further kits will be released during the remainder of FUT CHRISTMAS.
It’s always risky to perform a sliding tackle because you’ll always get a red card if you don’t get the ball. You can follow this tutorial, change your player instructions to guarantee that constant pressure is applied when using the ultra attacking game tactic. This could be extremely useful if you end up having to chase a game. The key to slide tackling is to ensure you get the ball – always slide head on or when you’re very close to the player. A flailing slide from a distance is going to hack the attacker down by his ankles but a controlled slide with a solid defender can work very well.
It doesn’t matter if you just joined this football game, it can be tempting to spam the standing tackle button. The problem is that once you’ve pressed it once, you’re committed for the next second or two. Wait until the opportune moment and then go in for the lunge. Otherwise you’ll be left for dust as the attacker sprints past you. EA Sports Twitter official has confirmed the server connection issues and said they’re investigating it.
To quick select players on ground, when it comes to defending you need to use your midfielders to defend, and basically you can’t select them without using the right stick because if you use the L on LP button, you can only select the player who is close to the ball. And in our case, it’s not enough the mayoral you need to follow is don’t touch your defenders.
