Counter Attack in FIFA Online 3

Introduction
Counter Attack is one of the most popular strategies selected by FIFA Online 3 managers. The main objective of this strategy is to focus on defence and quickly mount an attack using long or one-two passes to catch the enemy off-guard.
In FIFA Online 3, it is recommended that you should only apply this strategy when:

• Your opponent’s team has much higher attributes compared to yours, making it difficult to set-up a direct attack
• Your midfield line-up leaves something to be desired. The mid-field is crucial in regaining and maintaining possession while playing offensively. Without a good line-up, or with injured and exhausted players, you may find attacking much harder.
• You have a very strong defensive line up, and strikers with high sprint and strength attributes.
• You happen to love seeing an offensive player concede a goal with every attack he sets up.

4. Players

• Strikers: You need strikers with high Reaction, Sprint and Acceleration attributes. In addition, the Heading and Jump attributes also need to be decent.

Recommendation: Cavani, C. Ronaldo, Falcao, etc.

• Midfielders: Marking, Vision, Long Pass and Short Pass are the attributes you need to focus on.

Recommendation: S.Gerrard, De Rossi, Essien, Lampard, Fabregas, etc.

• Defenders: For Centre Backs, you need defenders with high attributes in Marking, Vision, Reaction and Long Pass. While for Wing Backs, you should focus more on Stamina. 

                            Recommendation: P.Lahm, Maicon, D.Alves, A.Cole, P.Evra, etc.

5. In the match

You need to focus on defence and keep a reasonable interval between two layers of defenders. You should give your opponent’s team the chance to strike long or mid-range shots. Your players need to cover each other and tackle frequently to break the opponent’s momentum.

Once you repossess the ball, immediately pass it forward using long or one-two passes. This allows you to skip having to dribble through the midfield. Instead, all your strikers need to do is use their advantage in sprint and acceleration to by-pass the defenders and score. Your wing backs and midfielders also need to move forward to support them in case your blitzkrieg fails.
