Domoboy23 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 A question from me.. Does a team NEED a playmaker assigned on the pitch? I'm always very nervous as I always have either a DLP or AP in the MC or AMC position no matter what the tactic. I've also been reading this thread and noting people using the default CM roles in either defend, support or attack. Do you feel these are really good to create your own role? Also, other end of the spectrum do people every play with MORE than one playmaker role? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, you don't need a playmaker, it just adds the risky passing, the focus play & a bit more creative freedom to a role, I very rarely use "exotic" roles & often favour just simple CM roles. Most of the time you see a tactic & it's BTBMs, playmakers & Mezzalas as if they're better roles to use. I'll use the CMs & don't really add any PIs to them to keep it simple I never play with more than one PM but there's nothing to say you can't 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly for the Man United one & the Man City one is has Inverted Wingers which I'm not happy with. I've shared the Man U one with a couple of others so I'll post it up if you want to try it out. It's not a super tactic so it's not going to win everything scoring hundreds of goals. Both won the league & the CL but aren't insta win I'll add the Man City one but I just tried it with Bayern & finished 3rd Edited August 7, 2021 by Johnny Ace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCHDD Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) That looks really similar to what I'm using at the moment. I sometimes use DLPde in place of CMde and WBsu and FBat but I think either of those roles fit well into the tactic and don't affect the balance. I really like the CMsu role, prefer it to a B2B with hard coded roaming. I find that it not being told to hold position already gives it enough mobility for a 4231 or even 433. And you could tailor the PIs to the player playing it, for example for Pogba in your tactic then maybe take more risks or direct passing to use his passing and vision, while someone like Kante might have tackle harder instead. For what you mentioned about inverted wingers, I find IWsu with stay wider can borderline do what you want while making diagonal runs closer to the penalty area. I'm not sure whether to go for that or just a plain Wsu (which may cross excessively). Edit: The City tactic wasn't loading for me just now thats why I only used Pogba in my example. BTW is that Zack Steffen playing right wing? Edited August 7, 2021 by KCHDD 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure whether to go for that or just a plain Wsu (which may cross excessively). Sound!!! I always find in a 4-2-3-1 the boring CMs are the best, a DLP works great too, I just don't like using one if I'm using an AP. PPMs often mould the CMs so I don't usually bother adding TI's to them, Pogba's are a bit dangerous I always use fullbacks and reserve wingbacks for teams with a DM for the extra cover I like wingers in a 4-2-3-1 as they usually have plenty of players to cross too but because I was playing with Man City I felt I needed IW's or IF's which to be honest I'm not a big fan of as it crowds out the final third & prefer doing that in a 4-3-3. I might give your tip a try though, thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCHDD Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Yeah admittedly its hard not to use IWs with City because its possibly the closest you can get to the movement from their widemen IRL. Setting them to Wsu or even worse Wat makes them spam crosses and getting them blocked for corners which definitely doesn't happen in real life. But then again IW can stay narrow all the way while they're meant to hug the touchline first then cut in and drag defenders with them when they receive the ball. Perhaps the best example is Mahrez IRL. Do agree with the PIs for CMsu as well, someone like Pogba definitely has enough aggressive PIs to assert himself offensively. I imagine Gundogan would play the role perfectly or at least provide a more balanced, measured approach than Pogba. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van Der Beek was really good as the CM(S) for Utd. I like having the CM(S) on the side with the WInger so he has a bit of space to go forward into Liverpool are the same, you can't use Salah as a right winger, unless you played Salah upfront & Firmino as the number 10 with Jota as a winger but Firmino likes to drop deep I suppose Man U in RL use IWs/ IF's with a number 10 I've just never been able to work it in FM Edited August 7, 2021 by Johnny Ace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitner Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Bruno for me scored 202 goals in 398 games, quite a good record. Always playing as a AM-A with more creative freedom, shots, passes, dribbling. He as encouraged to do whatever he wanted, and that worked as a charm. AMC is really buffed in FM21 (thankfully), so you can find a lot of roles and formations that they'll thrive, i got some sucess with Sivasspor in a 5-3-2 WB and my AMC was a T, so i do think that isn't rocket science to make a AMC play well.

With Leon Bailery and Ollie Watkins potentially coming from out wide in my save I can maybe make Buendia an AP (S) and then give one of them licence to push forwards and join Ings in the box. Really great thread though. I feel your pain with inverted wingers and inside forwards cramming the 10 space though. I'm hoping a standard winger, played on the wrong side, with "Cuts inside" PPm will solve some of my problems there. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMs/a, SS)? I've been looking to create a "central winger" role in the middle. Not sure where the term comes from, but I saw it on these forums in 2016-2018. Basically it's a central midfield role that's all about dribbling up the middle and carrying the ball into the final third. It's a hybrid creator/scorer that looks to attack the space between the central defenders to either lay on a pass to a forward or take the shot themselves. In FM16 I had good success with the AMC SS(a) and in FM18 by pushing it back MC and playing a CM(a) with dribble more, risky passes, etc. I have been playing an AMC SS(a) again here in FM21 and it's 90% of what I'm looking for, particularly in the buildup phase. But it doesn't find space in and around the box as well as it did in FM2016 and can get caught up in the defensive line with the STC players. Now that I've got the tactic near 100% where I want it, I'm coming back to tweak this role to see if I can get what I want. Any suggestions on where I might find what I'm looking for?

RPM_01 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Have to agree - my go to is the AM-A in FM21 for the number 10 and Bruno is consistently good.

Djecker Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 It's easy to get production out of a great player, but I play him as an AM-A or AM-S with all the freedom (take more risks, shoot more often, get further forward, roam and move into channels) and he produces pretty well for me I would say. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Ace Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 I think the penny's finally dropped with me with AM Support roles For example, I was trying to go the route of: AF(A) IF(S) AP(A) IF(S) Which meant you'd get all 4 guys in the box, being marked, clogging everything up When I try something like: AF(A) IF(S) AP(S) IF(S) It's completely different, the AP(S) drop offs a little, stays on the edge of the box & looks for the IF's or striker, there's 3 options to choose from then or he can play it back or wide to the full backs. If an IF is occupied wide, he'll move into the box to fill in. So, he either gets the direct assist for one of the front 3 to score or he's passing to a player to make the assist. They still occupy the other team too, you'll have games were they seemingly do nothing, they may go 10 games without doing anything but they are there, putting pressure on the other team, making their CM's DM's & CB's have to think, maybe closing down your AMC but leaving space in behind for an IF When it clicks & you see it in action, you appreciate the support roles a little more. I've tried it with Bruno & KBD & because of their PPMs & set piece taking skills they still wrack up double digit goals & assists, easily I'm finding that sort of setup "works" with two inverted players out wide (the IFs, the APs, IW's etc) to not clog the box, them with a Winger, have the AMC going into the box on an attack duty Assisting the assister Staying deeper to pick up an assist Leko & Toral keeping other layers busy leaving a CM free for an assist Toral getting into the box filling in for Bela Bonus, Riley scoring a speccy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

plcarlos Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 This is how I've setup for my AF. I've done this from season 1 in order to make the use and growth of Scarlett, Right winger is normally an W-S, and I really shold swap FB roles and with the CM sides. Trying to train Cut's inside from wide to my W-S, but he's injured ATM. Of course I'm Year 2025, and there are some wonderkid newgens in now. I invert all bar the CF\AM based on my players. Foden (Got him for Silly money due to contract issues) Kane, and NewGen Milton are tearing it up in the AM-A slot, Staying nice and high for attacks, and feeding the Strikers massively. PPM of plays Killer balls Helps that. If it's getting more of the AF, it's about playing to their strengths. Same as it is for the AM - In my Setup, I'm working on trying to give the AM many targets to feed, and Getting silly Goal numbers for the AF. Pace\Accel, and Movement seemt o be Key to getting good performances out of the AF for me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Ace Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) That's exactly how I like to set up @plcarloswith the winger on the right side, I like to invert it too for left footed wide players. The AMC can be a Treq or an AP(A). I had an awesome save in FM20 with it. TI's are different but not by a million miles Edited August 15, 2021 by Johnny Ace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Ace Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 Here's 'arry at the end of the season This is the full tactic, finished 6th & an FA Cup Final loss to Liverpool (the EPL's end game boss) so not bad but too leaky in defence. Was 3rd/4th most of the season & we tailed off, probably down to all the cup involvement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Ace Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) Trying it with Liverpool with Salah as an AF Just scored 6 in one game Leeds v Liverpool.pkm Added the offside trap & it worked well with Liverpool, going to try it with West Ham now. Firmino at AP(S) didn't turn out great but didn't think he would tbh Edited August 15, 2021 by Johnny Ace 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
