FIFA 23 – How to Use the Offside Trap to Dominate the Defense!

The “offside trap” in soccer is a defensive maneuver where, just before the attacking opponent is about to pass the ball to a leading striker, all of the defensive backs move upfield in unison, placing the leading striker behind them in an offside position.  Assuming the striker receives the ball, thereby gaining an advantage from having been in the offside position, the striker is caught or “trapped” in violation of Law 11 of the Laws of the Game, “Offside.” As a result, the violation is expected to be called by the officials and an indirect free kick awarded to the defending team. 

Offside Trap tells your defenders to quickly push up as a unit to catch an attacker offside.

Effective when used at the right moment, the Offside Trap tactic can also have a disastrous effect if deployed at the wrong time.
