peterbolam78 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 My question is simple. I am quite devoted to my 4-1-2-2-1 so usually I use a DLP-D one BBM and one CM but looking at the players I have does anyone think a dual BBM is a practical choice for player roles. The other roles I usually use will remain intact while I look at the pre season as an experiment. Just thought I'd see if anyone could see any major problems with switching my CM to a BBM? cheers in advance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

summatsupeer Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 The problem is you then have two players looking to do the same things. It could work but it risks them getting in the way of each other if they decide to try the same thing, especially if they have the same PPM. Try to fit your roles to your tactic rather than your roles to your players, obviously there's some flexibility though. WIthout knowing your full tactic its hard to recommend anything specific.

Keyzer Soze Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Using, a tactic with 3 guys in the midfield, you can afford to have one with attack duty. Playing with the 41221, i really like the BBM role because he links very well between the defense and the attack, but it's important to have one player to be upfield with your lone striker. That why, i usually end up with the CM(a)-BBM(s) combo in my midfield strata, having a DM(d) or DPL(d) behind. Another way, is having a playmaker in the midfield. CM(a) + AP(s), for example.

peterbolam78 Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 I had not considered the risk of them getting in each others ways. I shall keep an eye on that... My tactic is as below.. the left side BBM is usually a CM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
herne79 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Think of it this way - when you are attacking, where are both your Inside Forwards and both your BBMs running to? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterbolam78 Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 Herne you read my mind I was just thinking that we may need to install traffic lights in that part of the pitch. Thank you for the insights so far I know what to look out for and we'll see how the experiment goes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theopert Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 There are vehicles on the road every day but they do their best to avoid each other. Driver, and in this case player awareness or their ability to read the game, can be a problem. What if all players knew the game, were able to read situations, react to situations, either proactive or reactive... would they need a manager?

mibsweden Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I use a CF(S) up front with two IF(A) on the wings and in midfield I am using two CM(S) with a DM(D) behind them. It is working very nicely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterbolam78 Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 so thanks for all the advice.. I have switched back to a formation that now looks like GK FB-S CD-D CD-D FB-A DLP-D W-A BBM-S CM-S IF-A Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterbolam78 Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 dammit i forgot my striker who is now a AF-a what I hope is my winger runs on and crosses for the AF the in running IF and the onrushing BBM the full back on the side of the IF I am hoping will get forward to provide width as the IF cuts in just wondering on any suggestions for a mentality and shape.. am tempted to go standard and structured in the early days playing as Swindon in league one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
summatsupeer Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 It doesn't work like that peterbolam78, you need to fit your tactic to your players and how you want them to play. You may have to compromise what you want, because of what you have. We can't say "use x, y and z and you'll win". You will get that movement because of those roles, the question is how risky do you want them to play? Do you want them to be quick/direct and/or prioritize forward play or be a bit more patient? Do you want your team to stick to what you've told them or be a bit more free? How are you going to defend? With your three "forwards" all on attack duty and in the AM/ST strata how are they going to help defend? If you play Structured so they focus more on the role+duty you've given them, how will that affect them? Does it all fit together logically in one tactic? If you think about those things you can then watch the play on the field and use the instructions to get that style. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
