Quick Pes 12 defence question...

I used to use my DM to man mark a CF, but unless its Ronaldo or Messi its best that they sit in front of the back four and act as a shield to help protect them.

You can set your defnesive line to deep, 6 and below, and maybe lower your mentality by minus 1 so your whole team shape drop back a bit. If you want to play on the counter when you get the ball back, put player support up to like 16.

If you have wingers or wide support strikers, get them to track back, setting them to man mark any wingers your mates have in their team. On the edge of the box, or to block crosses on the wing, try using R2+X contain as a last gasp defensive stance, and release when you want to win the ball back, or keep it held down when they take the shot or cross. Just some quick tips really.

Also defend as a team and cover spaces and passing lanes, use positioning to hold back 1st then time your interceptions.
