Defending and tackling are very important for players to win matches in FIFA 19. so it is necessary for you to understand the basic mechanics of them. However, for most player, they seem to be one of the trickiest areas to master in FIFA 19, since they require patience, good reflexes, and flexible adjustment of the tactics on the pitch. In this FIFA 19 guide, we provide some tips and tricks of defence and tackling to help you stop attackers dead in their tracks every time. At the same time, we will also address what’s new in defending in FIFA 19 and how to take advantage of these new features to get the upper hand on the pitch.

Tactic and legacy defense

First we should know that FIFA uses a real-time defending method called Tactical Defense in which your defender will try to go for the ball as soon as you press the standing tackle button, Circle. In our opinion this is the best method, but if you find it too demanding, you should go to the controller definitions and change defensive type from Tactic to Legacy. This changes the defensive method to the older, more automatic format, but be warned - whenever you play online, you will be forced to play with the Tactical style, so we recommend you get used to it.

Use two defenders at once

While defending, you’ ll notice a transparent icon above one of your other players, this is your second defender. Hold down R1, and that player will move to apply pressure, leaving you to block passing play. You can switch to the second defender at any time by hitting L1. it is worth mentioning that when using this technique, be careful as overusing this lots of space to your opponent, so pay attention to the spaces created by pressuring the opponent.

Slide tackle

Slide Tackles are very useful in FIFA 19 even if they are a risky move. You should not slide tackle from the back of your opponent. When opponent cannot pass the ball due to your pressure. Or when predicting the opponent's next move, it is time to perform a slide tackle. Remember that you must be very good at predicting since a wrong slide tackle could reward you with a yellow or red card! So as long as you have a good master of this technique, chances are you’ ll win the ball.

 

Cut off the passing line by jockeying

Passing lanes are open areas that ball handlers can use to pass the ball to their teammates. Use the Jockey Stance to make it easier for you to intercept potential passes. So next time, when your opponents have crossed into your half of the pitch, close down space and hold LT or L2 to intercept the ball.

Defending in corners

When we're defending a corner, we like to select the striker and pull him closer to the area so he can try and block potential rebounds. We also use this to allow the AI to position itself in the area, as it tends to do a good job at that. Then we wait for the game to automatically change control to the player who will head the ball.
