Overview
You will learn how universal defenders intercept the goal kicks
Overview
Universal Defenders as a class can intercept the ball flying on the adjacent cell. The guide describes how the defenders choose the cell to intercept and how their attribute Defence is stacking.
Basic Rules
- If the ball flies through a defender, the defender alone tries to stop the ball.
- If a defender stays near the cells on which the ball flies, the defender tries to intercept the ball by moving to the cell which is closer to the kicking cell. The footballer tries to intercept the ball with 40% of his attribute Defence for Precision Shot (60% for Power Shot).
- If few defenders are going to intercept the ball flying near them, their attribute Def is stacking.
Examples
There are few examples of how it works. To make it more understandable, I made the Defence for every defender equal 100. Same for the goalkeeper. Accuracy of the forward is also 100.
Everyone tries to intercept the ball close to the kicking cell
Defence of 3 defenders is stacking
No defence is stacking. Defenders on the line of the ball try to intercept it with their full Defence
The good way to defend your goal is to put one defender on the line of the ball. Other 3 defenders stay adjacent to the line of the ball flying. So they will try to intercept it behind the main defender. 60% of their Defence will stack (for Precision Shot it will be 40%)
Even more stacking Defence
Just a real game example.
– B and C stay adjacent to the cell where the ball will fly. However, footballer C stays on the line of the shot. So C intercepts the ball on his cell. Only B will try to intercept the ball on the adjacent cell.
– A, E, D stay near another cell where the ball will fly. So their Defence is stacking on this cell
Wide used formation with 5 defenders. Now you can see why it’s so popular: defence is stacking behind the central defender.
