Roman5228 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I play a 4-2-3-1. I'm to use play the double pivot in the central midfield with a Deep lying playmaker and a ball winning midfielder. But my BWM can seem to avoid yellows. His current ability is a 180 so hes obviously world class. He is best suited as a Anchor Man though. Is there something I can do to try to prevent all the yellows/red piling up? Do I have to change his role, what role is better? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cezar.sl Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Try switching his tackling to 1 click less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo7 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Is he on support or defend? I've found support to be more balanced and work better as with defend the player tends to run around like a headless chicken closing down and chasing for the ball, being far more rash in the tackle. Could try BWM (s) + DLP (d) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santa Claus Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I think it mostly depends of his anticipation, positioning and tackling attributes, as well as preferred moves. If he has "dives into tackles" it's logical he will be more reckless and get booked more often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooner SJ Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Concentration can affect this too, I believe. Also, perhaps hidden attributes like Dirtiness, etc. Also, the referee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevMaaan Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Dirtiness does have an effect, also composure i think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott MUFC Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Depends who it play Fellaini there he gets loads of yellows, Carrick, he gets hardly any, it depends on the type of player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireychariot Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Agression has a lot to say about this. I found this with jason lowe at blackburn, was getting loads of goals from midfield for me however always collected so so many yellow/red cards. Was worth it really as his return attacking wise helped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vector Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I have a DM that everytime I play him, he's always in an agressive mood. Is there a way to tell him to calm a bit? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domus Clamantium Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Finding a similar frustration in my Gills save. Got Panagiotis Tachtidis and Daniele De Rossi in the 18/19 season, and De Rossi has been sent off two games in a row for receiving 4 yellows. Unfortunately the "tackler" type player tends to be dirty, it's very hard to find someone that isn't like that. Sandro seems to do a good job against me though. I also had it with Charlie Lee, and after that, Jay Spearing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff AlienIR Posted June 27, 2013 SI Staff Share Posted June 27, 2013 The hidden dirtiness can have an impact indeed...look if this player always have this kind of trouble whatever his position or role is. The PPM can also have an impact.... But you have also to consider the role; duty and the shape and its mechanism. I also had this kind of issue when using this role with this duty in this shape. Ball winning midfielder....it means more pressing that a usual midfield...and tackle on hard. I think this is quite dangerous to use this role on a duty defend in a 4231. Dangerous because it can create a whole due to the higher pressing and dangerous because of tackling hard.This player is the last one before your 2 DC; so the longer he stays on his foot and the more properly he's diving on tackle the better it is. It means to have good attributes for tackling and defense. Decision; anticipation, tackling...but not only Try just to change the role...to a central midfielder on a defend duty. First defensivly your shape will be better, second you'll have a player with higher creativity and longer passes, which can be really interesting; third the tackle will not be hard. If this change doesn't resolve the yellow card problem then consider dirtiness, PPM etc... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityAndColour Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Isn't the BWM role all about closing down space and getting your tackles in? Yellows would be inevitable in this case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.U.F.C....TSVR Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I had Mascherano in this position. He got booked every 2 matches or so. Never got a straight red, just yellows lol. He was too good to ever look at replacing though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I ended up doing, Vidal kept getting red carded too often when I had him as a BWM, so I switched him to CM and that seemed to take care of the problem.
