EdH1977 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Hi, Just read the Pairs & Combinations which has really helped me, I struggled with FM15 despite winning stuff in FM14 But just a query, I am playing CM - CM - AM so need a sitter - runner - attacker... what are the other alternatives to BBM being the runner? Thx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Hook Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 A CM on attack duty will make forward runs pretty regularly, especially if it is someone who you don't care if he gets back quickly on defense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdH1977 Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 OK cheers Dr Hook... does a DLP on S count or does he not get close enough to the oppositions box? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anorthernboy Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 A roaming playmaker is another option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Hook Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 OK cheers Dr Hook... does a DLP on S count or does he not get close enough to the oppositions box? The DLP is a deep player, so no, he won't get too near the box. He'll creep up somewhat close to the edge of area if you have the ball deep, but he won't be busting forward. The CM(S) will get forward also, but less frequently than with an attack duty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Hook Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 A roaming playmaker is another option. No, the roaming playmaker won't get forward like that. He will move about laterally and vertically, true, but he doesn't make the forward runs into the box like Ed is looking for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overmars Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 The CM(a) role was absolutely lethal for me in FM15. That said, I generally played with 1 DM and 3 CM, so I could carry him defensively. With only 2 combined CM + DM, it's super-aggressive to assign a CM(a) duty to one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdH1977 Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Cool thanks for your help, will try a few of he options suggested Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thizaum Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 OP, you should take a look at this post: http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/436974-Sharing-Midfield-balance-spreadsheet Inside, you'll find a link to the source of the Pairs and Combinations post. I highly recommend you reading the midfield part and other parts too, although some people here might dislike it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Hook Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 my Roaming playmaker does. he ends up camped on the edge of the box and then darts in when and if needed. That is different from what Ed wanted which is a midfield runner who comes forward from deep. What you have is a player sat at the edge of area looking to play players in. Yes he will move in for a ball, or even take a shot- even a DLP can do this if he gets the ball in space but this is an entirely different role.
