HOW TO DEFEND IN EAFC 24 - Complete Defending Tutorial 

You can tell defending in this year’s game is hard because pretty much every tutorial I’ve watched has been completely different without any 1 obvious strategy. I trust Boras above all else though🙌

Defending on fc24 is a whole university man. I'm doing a terrible job relearning it but I w9nt give up. No pain no gain

Had 2-6 in qualis , watched this video and managed to use this video to defend better and clutched the last 2 games. This video is amazing

Great advice Boras thank you brother. Consider myself relatively good but this unit defending and a reset of mindset is exactly what I needed to hear.

I started watching Boras like 2 years ago I think, watching these games and these kinds of videos have made me so much better in rivals, I'ma be a champs threat bc of this defending video on gawd

It's more difficult for defenders to recover this year with jockey. The best advice is just stand your ground and don't push defenders out of position. As soon as opponents see you're a aggressive defender they'll just do the controlled sprint and all of a sudden you're behind

of all the videos i watched on defending , this one is useful and easier to understand. Thank you Boras

I hope this tutorial helps me. Fc 24 have been really hard for me. Thanks for the video. Every year i come to your channel to see your tutorials and they always helps me, i expect the same this year. Thanks Boras , ly

Started watching your videos because of my best friend and they're always fun and entertaining to watch and you learn us alot as well! The best defending video imo. Thanks for all the amazing content you make Boras, keep it up!

This video changed my game hugely for the better. Top man.

You are the only person that explain this defending tutorial very well , thank you so much i love you ❤, You just gained a subscriber

It’s so annoying this year. I play against noobs but they just run through my defence. I can predict almost everything my opponent is going to do but I still can’t stop it. I try different tactics, right stick switching (which only goes to the right player about 30% of the time) L1 switching goes to the right player about 10% of the time. Somebody needs to make a series where people send gameplay videos of their horrific defending and you could analyse it and tell us where we are going wrong. I think it’s a great idea for a mini series. Please consider it. I have tons of videos of me getting torn apart over and over again. It sucks because I like fifa and find it fun. Most people would tell me just to quit but I want to play the game. I just want to learn how to defend.

lots of stuff to learn and lots to practise , thank you for this video boras it really helps!

The video we have been waiting for ages 😂

Very useful video I actually used tactical defence style and I'm really improving thanks to you ❤

Quality tutorial as always. Thanks!

Thanks alot as allways!! Much love brate!

Very useful and helpful. Haven't actually used this new knowledge yet as have just watched vid but it's helped me to understand the new defending system and I can see why I'm conceding so many stupid goals now. Will be rewatcjing this video every now n then to refresh the sacred knowledge.

The most honest pro player 🙌, thanks for advices

I wait for this vid every year thanks Boras

Very helpful. I was getting over ran in some UT games and I couldn’t figure out why 😂 now I know

Defending is the only part of my game that is lacking, I score a lot and also concede a lot, so I'm looking forward to implementing these tips into my game. Especially the sliding block, it looks like it would be very useful.

Thank you. As always great video!

Great tutorial man, really helped.

Legend as always!! 💯💪😍

Thank you Boras , its good tutorial .I hope this will help me defend better . Good night )

Outstanding advice mate!

This had really helped my game out thanks

Best defending tutorial I saw for EA 24 because it adresses the right points and is easy to follow for a "normal" player like me.

Big one this! Gonna help a lot of guys there!❤

So far best I've seen and I haven't even played the game yet 😂. Watching vids as its downloadeding for my cb pro club player. Thus I think i have a special pov on it. The tutorials so far have all reminded me of one thing above all, rocket league. In that game, 1v1s defending wise its all about shadowing. So jockeying and staying close enough to put pressure but not fully commit so one single move. Also, all vids so far have favored tactical defense. Another is playing as a unit. Like in rocket league 2v2s, if someone is on the attack and you're both back. The closest one to the atk commits and makes the attacker have to do something. That's when the last one back cleans it up and gets possession. Anyway, I'm excited for it regardless of the comments saying its currently broken.

My goat never disappoints me

This game is torture

I honestly stopped jockying outside the box and it helped tremendously. Aggression is also a very very important stat. It makes it easier to get the ball when tackling even when tackling is suspect this year.

Am I tripping or do the players let your opponent just pass by like they even step aside?

It’s funny I always come to boras whenever a new fifa launches 🤣

I love you man!

VERY USEFUL

Great info!

"Helloooo, friends it's boras here" the most iconic intro

Just in time before I started playing today. Happy days.

Legend 🏆

So helpful thanks

I'm still not sure if I like the defending more this year or not, but one mentality change for me is, in previous FIFA, jockey is a move that trying to be passive and be patient, it is spammable and low risk, this year's jockey is actually a decisive move , like sliding tackle, where you shouldn't use it unless you have to, or your defenders will break ankle so easily

Getting back into fifa after 4 years of not playing at all. Gonna get shredded but this helps

Thank you bro

Thanks 🙏

Thanks boss.

This game is horrible.

Thanks man

As stupid as that sounds but I found that not pressing anything, literally just standing in the way while walking, gives the best results in blocking passes or even tackling an opponent. It seems to me that the L2 jockey variations make your player less dense and higher the chance of the ball flying "through" you.

Thank you ✌️

Was getting killed in Div 8, watched this video, won 5-1. 💪 thanks Boras

boros is a reall legend ❤

Hensley didn’t think I’d ever need to have one of these videos in previous FIFA’s I could defend very in fact it was the one thing that kept me from plummeting out of several rewards in squad battles and rivals but now the defending is so confusing for not reason

Obrigado Boras

I find the second man press very helpful, you just have to use it right, I may have to try 3 man pressing too

great vid

Having tried both, i much more prefer tactical. Advanced is only marginally better when played perfectly and is MUCH more prone to error.

It’s always funny to me watching these guides besides the new mechanics added to the game I’ve been doing all this stuff since FIFA 12 obviously you couldn’t tell the AI when to press that’s gotten way better but I’ve been super good at defense even since FIFA 12. I remember counting how many interceptions I could get and I use to avg about 45-50 a game in vs Division 1 players. Always have loved defense this year it feels a bit trash tho.

imagine this year the defending is so bad that I had to look how to defend the first time ever.

I still get hammered even after all these tips

Thanks mate, I'll try an use your tips. I play FIFA for more than 20 years, but 23 was totally unbearable for me because of the defence. One wrong step, and you're done. Even more bad, that happens when I play against the AI, but I'm still very good online when I play Seasons. Now I play EA FC, and I have the same very frustrating problem.

It's mainly using the computer to press and once the computer player gets close to the attacker, you switch to that computer player and tackle. It's annoying to play against

Its funny how boras having a bad start in this fifa but we all still gonna learn from him❤❤

My lord, is defending in this game frustrating and stressful!

thank you.

Cant play a game without conceding 4 per game but luckily i manage to score 5-6 but now in the higher divs on seasons, losses are coming thick n fast

Please do you use your r2 as your speed or Sprint?

Hello Boras, I've given this FC24 a try after disbanding Fifa years ago. In both offence and defence I find my players often just standing still, 0,0 AI, runs or pressure at all. If I try to defence I just do more harm than nothing. I did well in Fifa series before. At 09:08 you're saying to use standing tackle "sometimes". How do take over te ball without doing this? It makes sense why I mess up that often because doing a standing tackle most of the time to take over the ball. Just running up to them ain't working either... So confused. Hopefully you can help me understand this maybe easy basic thing about defending in FC24

4 4 2 and u show completely different tactics gg man

Hey Boras, I haven’t played FIFA since ‘18. What tips can you give guys like me when playing FC24 aside from this amazing video? Thanks in advanced and love your content:)

Am doing horrible in defense man. Am i that bad? I was division 2 last year

What are your camera settings? I like them❤

I haven't played fifa in 3 years. Coming back to FC24 the first 50 games were tough, I maybe won max 5 to 10 of them, but once you get used to the defending, attacking is extremely easy. Lack of content is what's ruining it for me

Sooo when we defend we need to you R2 only or R2 with L2?

Make video for attack too please

Nice inputs, thanks a lot! Quick question: how can you tweak a formation to make it defend as a 4-4-2 do you have to switch to defensive or is there a way to make it automatic?

what site do you use to look up players

I need it seems like opponent walks through my defenders

Ball is like ping pong 🏓 rebound city.

In div 5 nearly in 4 but defending is mad

Never been a pro but always considered myself solid when it comes to playing Fifa (1st league in Seasons winning 90% of the games, Div 1 or 2 in Rivals. When I play EA FC 24 I literally suck... Passing seems to be more difficult than ever, so does attacking. I can't keep possession for a long time and it's just annoying af... Looks like I'm gonna spend some time on RU-vid, trying to improve.

Is 433 holding a good formation in eafc24?

For me I try not to pull away defenders and back off and move players back until they commit then I go in for a aggressive strong tackle.

Bro in every fifa i was good in defending.This is the first year i can tell that i have problem at this

What buttons do you press to stop the ball from bouncing off your player right back to your opponent after you steal it?

What are the camera settings he’s using

How do you not have gap between your midfield and defence. Always when i defend its only like 2-3 players and my midfield is somewhere near centre

how to hold shirt and get the ball from behind so that the striker cant move anymore or loses the ball?

Bro I’ve got varane saliba and llorentes cdm and I’m struggling to defend badly

Every time I press O to tackle it just brings makes player press the opposition with a green arrow above him. Can someone please help me ?

i have played multiple games with FC24 and i have not won any game, hopefully the advice works for me...

I continue to concede late goals no matter how I try. I am playing career mode. Either I lower and blow teams away or draw and lose every game

The cb turns like trucks

Casi nadie puede pronunciar la r pero a ti te sale perfecto botas

Anyone know how to fix this. Then holding X my player doesnt move to the opponent to get the ball, he just stand and when holding sprint and X same thing happens its like the X never pressure tried with O also not working how can u jockey when my player doesnt run toward them. Lost so many match due to this??

Red cards are broken every shoulder to shoulder challenge in the box results in red card even if the opponents striker stays on his feet

Is there any reason the defense is too good in some games and some games defense is poor. Defenders are going forward and attacking instead of defending.
