OSM 6-3-1A Tactic: How to Play the Best Defensive Setup
OSM's 6-3-1A tactic uses 3 centre-backs and a defense-first setup to shut opponents down while hitting them on fast counter-attacks.
- OSM's 6-3-1A tactic uses 3 centre-backs, 2 fullbacks, 2 central midfielders, 1 attacking midfielder, and 1 striker.
- The OSM 6-3-1A centre-backs should have the highest defending and the lowest attacking strength on the team, staying out of attacking actions entirely.
- OSM's 6-3-1A tactic relies on man-marking, high tempo, and pressing kept nearly as high as tempo to shut down opponents and win the ball back.

Especially when playing OSM with friends, you won't always be playing against the best teams, and in situations like that you also need good defensive tactics. In this article, we'll look for the answers to how the 631A tactic should be set up in OSM 23, which tactic template to use, and how we should build our line tactics.
OSM 631A Tactic 2023! What Should the Logic Be?
Since we're playing with 6 defenders, it's worth noting that the team will be quite weak when it comes to scoring goals. Among the team's attacking players, we have two fullbacks and 3 midfielders, but since only one of those midfielders is a number 10, we may fall short of finding goals with the others, plus there's the striker. Make sure the 3 centre-backs you use are the players with the highest defensive strength and the lowest attacking strength. It's worth putting the centre-back with the highest attacking strength in the position closer to midfield. That's because we specifically don't want our 3 centre-backs to take part in any attacking actions whatsoever. You can pick players with high attacking strength for the team's fullbacks, but make sure their defending isn't too bad either.
You can build all the remaining players from players with high attacking strength.

OSM 6-3-1A Tactic 2023! How Should We Set Up the 631A Tactic's Players?

To break it down as a list:
- 3 Centre-Backs: Very high defending, almost zero attacking strength
- 2 Fullbacks: Have some attacking strength, but their defending isn't too low either
- 2 Central Midfielders: Stronger going forward, but their defending isn't too low either
- 1 Attacking Midfielder: Fully attack-minded, creative, and effective at finding goals
- 1 Striker: A true centre-forward and the team's most important name when it comes to finding goals. It may be more useful to place a veteran player here
What Should the OSM 6-3-1A Playing Style and Line Tactic Be?

Since we're playing very defensively, the best move we can make is to push forward quickly, and we should only look to hit the team on the counter-attack.

Since we're determined not to give the opponent 3 points under any circumstances;
- Striker: Support Midfield
- Midfield: Protect Defense
- Defense: Stay in Position
Since we've made our fullbacks attack-minded, they'll also contribute to attack on the counter-attacks we launch. There's no need to tell them to push forward again and leave the back exposed.

How Do You Set Up the OSM 631A Defensive Setup and Marking?
Since the back is crowded, man-marking will be more ideal. By playing one-on-one defense against the opponent, we'll prevent them from moving freely and finding positions. Since we'll be man-marking on the marking setting, it's worth adjusting your play based on the referee.

What Should We Set the OSM 631A Pressing, Style, and Tempo Sliders To?

Playing with 6 defenders means we can't afford to park the bus. The most important thing here will be keeping our tempo high. Since we want to break out on the counter the moment we win the ball, we should look to score quickly with fast passing.
We're also aiming to keep our pressing high, though not as high as our tempo, to suffocate the opponent and win the ball back.
