04texag Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Trying to maximize his effectiveness as a technical/creative playmaker. It's sept of 2020 in my save, I've managed to get Stoke promoted to the Premier league and have a number of young technical players. I've been trying him out in the MC strata, right side AP-S in a 4-1-2-3. He's been a little sporadic. Due to an injury, I've moved him to AMR - IF-S and that's been ok too. He shows flashes of brilliance, but then also makes some errant passes. Anyone have some good tips for him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rationale - he has a lot of flair, good pace, dribbling, incredible passing skills and good long shots. I wanted him to deliver the killer ball, not participate in build-up play. The formation was a 4-2-3-1. I've lost count of how many through ball diagonal passes he made for my IF. He finished the season with 10 goals and 15 assists in 30 games. He lost a few through injury and I took a while to find the ideal formation for my Everton side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
04texag Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 Perfect suggestion, had not thought of it. I don't normally try a winger on the opposite side of his footedness, but I'll give it a go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't try it with a natural winger who runs down the line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
