If you’re a fan of the FIFA soccer game, you realized that in this latest installment, EA Sports makes the defense harder. And as a result, it will be harder to play a match without getting conceded at all.

Turns out that defense is an important thing in a soccer game. Quoting the word from legendary Manchester United coach, Sir Alex Ferguson, “Striker will make you win a match, but the defense will make you win in a championship,”

If you often conceded in FIFA 20, you have to try these tips down below. It’s guaranteed that your goal stays clean. 

1. Don’t Hope too Much on AI

In FIFA 19, defending from the enemy’s attack feels so easy. You just need to hold X or R1 (second man pressing) to make your defending players chasing enemy players with the ball while keeping your formation. But this thing is no longer effective in FIFA 20.
FIFA 20 needs you to defend “manually”. Meaning that you cannot hold X anymore and hoping for AI (Artificial Intelligence) taking the ball for you. Now you must move your defending players yourself and using defending jockey. Further explanation of this is on the next number.

2. Adjust Tactics and Instruction as well as possible

To make it easier facing enemies, you must adjust tactics that is suitable for you. You can experiment with various formations and different player instructions to find a suitable playstyle.
One of the easy formations to make your defense easier is using CDM. Two CDMs will help to keep your defense and cutting enemy’s passing flow by giving instructions for CDM to go back to between defending players when the enemy is in control. 
You can also adjust your back players to stay still on the back even though you’re in an offensive mode so you don’t have to worry when enemies launching a counter-attack.

3. Use Defending Jockey

What is defending jockey? Defending jockey is a defensive way that makes your defending players focusing on the enemy’s ball as well as observing the enemy’s movements. You can apply this method by holding L2 while moving your defense players manually.
You can also activate fast jockey defending by holding L2 and R2 altogether. With this, your defense players will be on their watch and they will move faster. This step is best to cover the enemy’s movement faster, but because it needs a precise timing to catch the ball from the enemy.

4. Train to Change Players

The main point of effective defense in FIFA 20 is choosing the right players and use them at the perfect time. Rather than depending on AI to change your players, you better adjust them by yourself with L1.
Even so, you can also use the new setting called "ball relative right switching". With this, your controlled player can switch automatically with the switching focus on the nearest player to the ball.

5. Use Sliding Tackle

In FIFA 20, you can choose your style to catch the ball. By using O, your player will struggle to tackle ball while standing. And with Square, your player will do a sliding tackle.
You just use normal tackle when enemy players around you. While enemy players are far enough, you can use sliding tackle because if you don’t hit the ball, you will get a penalty or worse, your defense will be broken.
