This is a FIFA 16 Counter Attack Custom Tactic guide to show you exactly how to setup the appropriate formations and tactics to initiate deadly counter attacks. Watch the full HD video tutorial below that has all the tips needed for success.

The first thing we must discuss is the formations and this is quite simple! The 4-2-3-1 is the best to use but you can literally get away with using anyone of them that you’re comfortable with.

How this type of play works, is you’ll literally be parking the bus sitting really deep in your own half pretty much just in front of your own goalkeeper and soaking up pressure from your opponent. Then when you win back possession of the ball you will instantly launch a counter and push up the field not only in numbers, but at great pace with fast passing moves.

You can of course use the default tactic setup by EA Sports but it’s not as good as our one. for the details on all of the numbers see below.

Build-Up Play

• Speed = 95
• Passing = 70
• Organised Defence

Chance Creation

• Passing = 70
• Crossing = 50
• Shooting = 75
• Free Roam set for midfielders and attackers

Defence

• Pressure = 7
• Aggression = 65
• Team Width = 40
• Defending Line = Cover

That’s it! You’re all set to go and try this one out and you won’t regret it because if you have these instructions active and you play to the style then you will be blowing teams away with your deadly counters. It’s fantastic for when the opposition has a corner kick or is on your attack with numbers forward and it also great against the high pressure opponents and it combat immensely against them.
