SeanRTG Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I've always been scared to experiment with Inverted Wing Backs but the role does sound interesting to me. I'm very curious to know how they can be implemented usefully and how to make the most of them? What tactical system would they best fit into?

pilif25 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I could think of a loooot of implementations for IWBs, but... Second year in a row, they DON'T WORK, sadly. They just behave like normal WB(s). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

2calvin Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Playing 3 at the back but you want 1 of the wing backs to play like an IF in and around the box, something Barca have done in the past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSpecialness Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Always saw someone like Baines as a great rl example of an IWB. From my understanding they should look to underlap instead of hugging the line, providing a pivot for your wingers to move more freely down the line or your indside mid players to vacate the space.

JimmyGuitarist Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Well when you consider how Pep uses his fullbacks, they're playing as auxiliary CM's when Bayern have possession. I don't really see much difference from normal wingbacks to inverted ones positionally, they're just different with the ball are their feet. I come closer when I use a normal fullback-support with sit narrower & hold position instructions. But still nothing like what Pep uses, If I want anything like that I'll sacrifice defensive shape and just put the fullbacks at DM with 1 central DM. Helps the possession shape but upsets the defending shape. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
