lim Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Hi all, im in my 3rd season as Stoke, in the premiership. I have a player Dani Olmo, id like to build the team around him and get the best out of him. FM says his best role is AMC, as a Shadow striker although i see him more as a creator rather than a goalscorer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afailed10 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) Strong balance, agility, composure, dribbling, vision and likes tk play out of trouble. I'd have him on the hole but would leave him on support duty since he likes to get forward more. I'd also give him plenty of space in the AMC area by deploying a striker that pins the defenders back and at least one winger stretching wide. A holding midfielder behind along with a CM-S or B2B to link up but not congest too much. Edited September 1, 2019 by afailed10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, SS is a bit of both creator and scorer. So playing him as a SS will not diminish his creative potential. Even better, he can then serve as a quasi-PM 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to play fast expansive football. I am not a top premiership team though so please bare this in mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

04texag Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I've had a lot of good success with Dani Olmo, love the player. Best seasons he has had for me has been at AML, as am IF, both A and S duty depending on game and other players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
summatsupeer Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 His trait of gets forward will make him try attacking runs more often even if not told to through instructions so I'd consider that when planning your players movements. Fast transitions will suit him, with a good support forward to combine with they could be very effective on counter. Probably dont have a better creator in your squad but a quick flair winger/if could create space for him. dont want to crowd him so other central midfielders wouldn't be "runners", for me they just need to cover and link.

Why would faster transitions suit him more? Because of his speed, agility & balance? My team is more dominant & so I play a 4231 with my front 5 pressing high & looking to quickly counter when they win the ball. This would suit a player like him right? Thanks!
