How to attack a 95 Line Height in FC 27

Description

Two ways to gain ground against a high defence, the speed boost with L1 and R2 and dribbling with R1 and Technical, checking first whether the AI is defending.

The follow-up to “How to attack a 95 Line Height”. The two Basic plan chapters: how to use the speed boost with L1 and R2 to gain ground out wide or through the middle when the defender in front of you is controlled by the AI, and how to dribble between the lines with R1 and the Technical PlayStyle while triggering L1 runs, passing if the centre-back or full-back steps out to you and keeping the ball if not. It ends with a recap of all five solutions.

What you will learn

  • Check whether the nearest defender has the controlled-player indicator: if not, the AI is defending and you have room to drive forward
  • Do the speed boost in order: control and set your body with L1, then press R2 on your next touch to burst away, out wide or through the middle
  • With space ahead, tap and release R2 on every touch instead of holding it, and make the most of the Rapid and Quick Step PlayStyles
  • Drive with R1 between the midfield and defensive lines, attacking the gap between centre-back and full-back or between centre-back and midfielder
  • Trigger L1 runs while you dribble: if the centre-back or full-back steps out to you, pass to the runner; if not, keep driving and do not give back the ground you have won

Who it is for

For players who already link up with the False 9 and L1 runs, but do not dare to carry the ball because the whole opposing team seems to be closing them down.

When to use it

Against a high defensive line, when the nearest defender is not controlled by your opponent and you have space ahead, out wide or between the lines.
