FIFA Ultimate Team Tips

Yesterday, we talked about your FUT defense line.

Today, we are still talking about it (often, a good defense means victory).

Imagine you’re creating a new Ultimate Team. When it comes to picking your CB’s for the team, it’s easy to follow the criteria it´s believed to be normally used: the fastest ones. In fact that’s still a good criteria, and a very important one. But the defense it’s a very sensitive part of your strategy.

If your strikers can fail many times (and that’s a good sign, for it means your attacking your opponent), when it comes to the CB’s (or keeper), when they fail, even if once, it’s the end of the line for your match!

So, consider not only speed but also defense ability and -very important too- the head factor. Many goals are scored in the air when the striker wins the ball over the CB.

Here’s the tip: choose a pair of CB’s in which you have a fast one and/ or a good one in the air disputes. If you use 3 you can follow this tip too.

The fast one will run to the save the goal if needed, or to disarm your opponent on the run and the other one will protect you from the “air strikes”.

It’s impossible to say which is the best CB, because they (2 or 3) have to work in team.

For example: in the BPL ( British Premiere League) Vermaalen is very good anticipating, but a bit slow. David Luiz is very fast, but a bit weak. Combining wisely might be the key.

The 3 Cb's Scheme


Teams with 3 CBs have done some damage in their opponents recently. Formations like 3-5-2 or 3-4-1-2 are normally hard teams to come across. They defend very well ( 3 CBS) and seem to have more players than you in the midfield.
Here are some tips you can you when it comes to face these kind of teams:
Play laterally. This means, try to keep the ball in their own defence but in the wings. That's their weak spot. Remember: they only have 3 players in the back whereas other teams ( playing in 4-4-2 or 4-1-2-1-2) have for.
Avoy to play in the center of the pitch. In fact, that's where these teams have more players.
