Sir. Benjamin Malachi

I just checked the Division rankings, and one thing immediately stood out to me. Among the top-ranked players, almost everyone is using Long Ball Counter. In fact, if you look at the Top 50 players, the vast majority are running Long Ball Counter, with a few using Quick Counter. Very few, if any, are using Possession Game. Today, I watched La Casa's YouTube video where he was trying to push rank using a 3-6-1 Possession Game setup. As someone who has been a huge fan of Possession Game since the Winning Eleven days, it really caught my attention. Personally, I enjoyed Possession Game the most during the PES era, especially in the older titles. Unfortunately, on mobile, it feels like Possession Game is at its weakest. I know some people will say, "I use Possession Game and enjoy it." That's fair. But when you look at the highest levels of PvP competition, the rankings tell a different story. Most of the top players are using Long Ball Counter or Quick Counter. When you examine Long Ball Counter closely, a lot of movement feels automated. Attackers make aggressive forward runs, transitions happen quickly, and the system naturally creates dangerous situations. With Possession Game, however, you have to build almost every attack yourself. You need patience, precision, and constant decision-making. Defending is even more demanding, especially against Long Ball Counter players, because you're often forced to manually position and move your players to cover dangerous spaces. That's why I believe Konami needs to take another look at the balance between playstyles. Possession football is beautiful to watch and rewarding when played well, but right now it feels underrepresented at the highest level of competition. That said, I'm not switching. I will stick with Possession Game whether I win or lose. At the end of the day, I play this game to enjoy football, and Possession Game is the style I enjoy the most.
