Tips & Tricks: Smart Tackles


Some tips here for effective tackles, at 70% success rate:

*Aim & tackle the ball instead of the player who runs the ball.(Good timing and accuracy is needed)
*Tackle from front because it doesn't work well anymore tackling from behind after the recent updates.
*Try to intercept passes, snatch the ball in between passes to gain more possession.
*Practice slow runs in front of a striker who dribbles in the box, as he might lose the ball directly to your defender or shot straight at your defender.

Last tip, remember that we have only 2 effective tackles(or even one if the striker is too speedy) from one defender in a short space from the edge of the box to the inside of it. So the theory here is tackle once on the edge and run in and prepare for the second tackle(in case the first one fails) in the penalty box, do not repeat tackles continuously as you'll waste 2 effective tackles at once, allowing the striker to run in freely and score as he likes.

P/S: All the tips above are just my personal experience and skills which i wish to share out, it might differs from what's on the field providing that every team has its own character and strength. Good luck and happy trying!
