^Goose^ Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I'm still struggling to get my head around team Styles and when to play Fluid and when not. According to threads ive seen Fluid should not be played if you have more than 1 'Specialist' player role in which case Rigid or Balanced is best. But which player Roles does FM13 class as Specialist and why? I know my question is somewhat vague but i just dont posses a tactical brain.

Cleon Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 wwfan explains what is classed as specialised and what isn't in here How to Play FM13: A Twelve Step Guide The idea is a more rigid approach allows the role to flourish and focus is on those more by the mentality/creative structures that rigid allows. Specialist roles are the non-generic roles that do something "different" - i.e. a Ball Winning Midfielder has much higher closing down and more aggressive tackling, a Deep-Lying Playmaker has reduced mentality and forward runs etc. Non-specialist roles pretty much describe a position on the pitch, i.e. central defender, defensive midfielder, central midfielder etc. If the role focuses on what a player does, rather than the position he plays in, i.e. anchoring the midfield, being a playmaker, poaching etc, then it is specialist. In theory, the more rigid the philosophy, the more specialist roles it can accommodate. I consider the following to be specialist:Target Man Poacher Trequartista Advanced Playmaker Box to Box Midfielder Deep Lying Playmaker Ball Winning Midfielder Anchor Man Libero These four roles can fit in either camp, depending on your interpretation. Complete Forward Defensive Forward Defensive Winger Ball Playing Defender Generic roles: Advanced Forward Deep Lying Forward Attacking Midfielder Central Midfielder Defensive Midfielder Inside Forward Winger Wide Midfielder Wing Back Full Back Central Defender Sweeper I don't include keepers.

^Goose^ Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 Thanks Cleon. This probably a stupid question but im going to ask it anyway; If i have two players set as BWM and every other position is something non-specialist would i count that as my team having one or two specialists when deciding what style to chose?

Not Cleon but that sounds like a pretty fluid setup, as with 2 BWM you will need players to intelligently cover as they'll be running all around trying to tackle people.
