Just like FIFA 23, the jockey button is one of the most important things to use when defending in FC 24. The jockey is the L2 button on PlayStation and LT button on Xbox and it’s actual what makes the pros concede less goals.

When holding the jockey button, the defender usually positions himself in a position where he can easily win the ball from the attacker. We don’t recommend tackling and sliding, so just hold your jockey and wait for the opponent to attempt beating you using a skill move or tries to pass then boom, your defender wins the ball. The good thing with jockey is that it actually works impressive even when defending against the speedsters.

2. Player Switching And Second Man Press

Mastering player switching is so underrated by gamers. The most famous way of player switching is by tapping the L1 or LT button. The cursor will move from the initial player to the one closest to the ball hence you’re able to catch up with the opponent faster and cut his passing lanes. In FC 24 every second count so switch as soon as you another player in a position of winning the ball back.

Second man press has returned in FC 24 and it’s one of the best ways to defend. When you press R1/RT, a green arrow will appear above another player who will then come and help you defend by applying pressure on the opponent. It is tempting to use the second man press all the time, but don’t do it at all near your box because the players will get out of position.

3. Know Your Players 

Knowing your players is one of the EA FC 24 tips that can help you win more games. By this I mean get to know the strengths of all the players in your team and play them according to their strengths. You can do this by looking at their in-game stats.

For example, once you understand Erling Haaland is much better on his left foot than right then you will be able to score more goals and win matches. Trent Alexander-Arnold is a good passer, use his passing trait to set up the attackers on goals.

4. Utilize Set Pieces 

To win more games means to score more goals, and one of the easiest ways to score in FC 24 is through set pieces. Whether its a penalty kick, corner kick or a free kick, don’t waste any of them because there are simple rules to follow in order to convert.

Penalties require composure to execute, you just have to stop the timer in green and there is your reward for being fouled in the box. For free kicks, there are different ways to score, but one thing that you need need first is a good free kick taker. You want just score free kicks directly with anybody in FC 24.
