What this also means is that tactics can also be changed and you can go all-out defence, all-out attack, counter-attack or whatever else to suit the situation at hand. If you find that your formation isn't working, your keeper is dire or your striker has broken his ankle, all of these issues can be addressed in-game, including substitutions. The important thing to remember is that the Game Plan can be consulted and changed during matches as well. If you want to be very defensive and hit people on the counter, however (especially useful if you don't anticipate dominating matches) then a 4-4-2 like Leicester would work, especially with quick strikers like Jamie Vardy. Should you want to use quick wingers, for example, we would recommend a 4-3-3 formation like Real Madrid. In our recent guide on features and modes we go into detail about what is included in this menu, and again it all comes down to personal preference. Some are long-ball orientated and some rely on raw pace - see which one you like and choose appropriately. Take some time and experiment with teams and see which ones you like, as different teams favour different tactics. Obviously you would prefer a great team like FC Barcelona or Man City (you can get real teams by following this guide), but if this isn't possible then try and choose a team that works in the way you like to play. Tactics: Before you even start a match, tactics need to be carefully considered to maximise your attacking prowess. Here we have compiled a few pointers on each aspect of attacking. Players need to work together and tactics need to be applied to become a deadly attacking force, and in PES 2017 goals don't always come easy, so it's best to put thought into how you'll attack before jumping straight in. There are a lot of areas of attacking, and it's not all about the shooting and the goals but about how you get to a position where you can score goals and so much more.
