FootballersWith Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 There isn't currently a role or set of instructions that allows a central defender to join play as a midfielder when in possession. Looking at the pass map below it shows Vertonghen considerably higher up the pitch than Alderweireld, occupying the same space that an IWB would take. This triangle formed by the back 3 is rarely seen in FM with the back line mostly staying pretty flat. Watching this shape in action you can see that when Vertonghen moves up to supprt Davies and Wanyama in midfield, Alderweireld would then shift over with Dier forming a two. It would be great to have CD (S) roles which would allow this type of flexible movement at the back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
