FIFA 18: 5 defending skills to improve your goal difference

#3: Jockey movement

Jockey movement is super effective in FIFA 18

Often hailed by bloggers and experts of the game as the easiest and most efficient way to defend in the gaming franchise, jockey movement is a special kind of movement where the defenders take an observant position in front of the opposition forward.

This famous way to defend is potent against almost all kinds of oppositional play. However, it must be avoided against counter-attacks due to a reduced pace of the defenders during jockey movements.

Combined with standing tackles, jockey movement ensures effective steal of possession, and surprisingly, the defender also keeps the ball within his control, opening opportunities for hitting the opponent on the break.
