With the new Dynamic Tactics in FIFA 19, you can set up several tactics for your squad and easily select them in the game via the D-pad. In this article, I want to introduce you to a tactic that I personally play and have perfected over time.

This is the so-called “Beton tactic”. It is characterized by standing defensively absolutely compact but being able to build the game optimally offensively.

The tactic itself is particularly important for players who have difficulties in defense and want to stand more compact in the back.

What is the Beton tactic?

With the Beton tactic, all players work together backward and position themselves during their own ball possession to build up the game. To ensure that every player really works backward, the individual tactic heavily depends on the instructions you give to the players in your team.

For the Beton tactic, you should strengthen the defense with all players so that the players initially stay in the backfield.

The instructions

For all players in your team to come back and work backward, you must first give the following instructions:

Forwards and midfield: Defensive support – Strengthen the defense
Outside defenders: Offensive runs – Stay back on attacks
Center backs: Offensive support – Stay back on attacks

The tactic settings

Now I will go into detail about the settings you need to make under “Tactics”.

Defense

For defense, I first set the defensive style to “Pressure on mistakes”. I find this the best because it creates compactness in the backfield at the beginning. The players do not aggressively press, as is the case with pressing after losing the ball. Instead, they stand compact and only apply pressure when the opponent becomes uncertain or makes a misplaced pass or similar. After that, the pressure is applied. However, the compactness remains intact.

Under “Defense”, you can also adjust the width and depth of your formation.

The width indicates how narrow or wide the entire back four stands.
The depth indicates how high or how deep the back four stands.

I believe that a good balance is important here, so that one does not stand too deep or too high and not too narrow and not too wide. Therefore, I do not make any changes here, but leave it at the average value.

Attack

Offensive style: In attack, I choose offensive style “Possession”, because I want to ensure that I can control how I build the game.

If you select a different attacking style, it will happen that the players automatically run forward. This is especially the case with the “Counter” style. With “Possession”, the players always offer themselves, and you can send them with L1 or LB. This way, the game, especially the possession play, can be built up very controlled.

However, it is also possible to counter with this setting. When you notice that there is space, you send a player, and he runs into position. I find this mix important. I recommend possession if you want to build your game nicely and controlled and want to avoid pressing.

The width can also be adjusted offensively. Here, I only provide one bar more than the average to improve wing play but still not stand too wide. If you go wider, gaps open up in the middle, which would be dangerous.
Players in the area: For “Players in the area”, I have lowered the slider a little because I want the players to position themselves around the penalty area. The higher the value is set here, the more players run into the penalty area. This increases offensive power but also increases the risk of counterattacks. The lower the value is set, the more compactness there is in your team, and the players position themselves around the penalty area.

Since many goals in FIFA 19 are scored with the new “Timed Finishes” around the 16-meter area, this is not a problem at all. Here you just need to make sure to move your offensive players into a good shooting spot and then finish.

I choose three out of five for corners and free kicks. I don’t change much here.
