01

Goalkeeper game: Coming out playstyle

With the "coming out" playstyle, your keeper acts more aggressively in the penalty area and reacts more to the movements of the striker running towards him. He also moves faster, which can be important in dangerous 1v1 situations.
Other recommended playstyles for the goalkeeper game category:
  • Footwork - Better foot defence against balls
  • Catching crosses - Stronger defence against high balls into the penalty area
02

Defensive: Push off playstyle

The "Pushing off" playstyle leads to more successful 1v1 duels. In duels, your defender is better and, above all, quicker to react.
Other recommended playstyles for the Defensive category:
  • Anticipation - Greater likelihood of successful duels
  • Block - Better blocks when defending
