# Field Tactics

## Formations

Formation is an important part of football. Different formations can be used depending on the skillsets and physical attributes of the players. Each team has a unique way of playing and there may not be a perfect formation that fits all teams. It's also important to choose a formation that works well with your current situation.

## Positions

As a manager, you need to know about both positions and formations in order to choose what is best for your team.

Positional play is one of the most important aspects of a football game, as well as how many players an opponent can move up and down the field. Left-legged players will want to be in a position to receive crosses from their right-sided teammate, while right-legged players will find the most success if they are able to join attacks from their left. As a manager, you need to know about both and choose the best for your team.&#x20;

## Tactics

Tactics are an important factor to consider when playing a football match. You may have to switch between different forms of attack depending on the opposition and your own strengths and weaknesses. Tactics can be categorized into balanced, possession and wing attack tactics.

There are a number of different tactics you could use with your team. For example, you can use balanced play and counterattacking to beat the opposing team. By focusing on creating overlapping zones, your team can exploit giving teams a hard time when they try to break down their defenses. Once they've lost some ground, you may choose to return attention to your defense and create wider overlaps because that's likely where the opposition will most likely attack next. You could also use possession play without focusing on attacking too much. This type of strategy is effective because it helps you gain complete control of the game and leads to fewer goals scored against your side as long as you keep good build-up play.

## Playstyle

Each player has a playstyle he is good at. The line up player can be placed in any position and linked to activate a combo playstyle . Of course the playstyle must match your formation and game tactics.

Playstyle is how players can play the game in different ways. Each player has a play style he is good at. There are serval play style combos that the player can acquire through NFT packs. The line up player could be placed in a way and linked to activate the combo play style with another ideal team mate with similar play styles.

## Hot Links

Hot Links are special passing links you can establish between players. For example, a winger to a center-forward, and then a striker to winger. With the right training, Hot Links can gain more power or efficiency by developing skills that then apply to live match play. You can issue commands, based on your stamina level and focus; this requires timing and is an effective strategy for applying pressure against opponents. Another great example is combining flair and passing abilities to create counter attacks.

Hot Links create an amazing game play mechanic to outwit even the toughest opponents. It's how you can use your squad's strengths against your opponents by combining a chain of passes that culminate into a, fluid, nasty surprise against them.
