Description
Runs have changed a lot from FC 26 to FC 27: here's how to make the players without the ball work for you.
The players you are not controlling are half of your attack. Gravesen shows how to send them, when to call for support, and how a decoy run opens up what was shut.
What you will learn
- What has changed with L1 runs and what they're still useful for.
- Call for support with R1 to open a passing lane and take the pressure off.
- The curved run (L1 + R1), the new mechanic that changes the game most, and when to use it.
- The decoy run, to break the defensive line and free up another teammate.
- Two questions to know whether a Player Lock is worth it.
Who it is for
For players who play everything to feet or trigger runs with no purpose, and for anyone coming from FC 26 with old habits.
When to use it
In the build-up and the final third, when your opponent closes your passing lanes.
