The away team in any one game, as well any team playing a match on a neutral ground, may play defensively if it wishes to. Playing defensively allows the away team to allocate the same performance levels to its outfield areas as the home team in HOME ADVANTAGE (i.e. the number of Play Defensively points is the same as the number Home Advantage points in any one match). However, when this option is chosen your attacking abilities will be seriously weakened as a result, and your goal-scoring chances will be far less than they would have been.
