ThomasHK1979 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Can someone please share a formation, tactics or tips to get your IF, IW to get as high rating as possible? That’s my only goal here. To see how high a average rating for the IF or IW is possible. Cause at the moment I can’t get them above 7.00. Impossible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigmarPT Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I managed to get my IW(A) (CM strata) to get a 7.28 score in the Portuguese League as Porto (easy league I know). In the UCL he currently has a 7.10. We're overachieving and I don't know how long this form will last, but we're demolishing everything and I'm really happy with the flow and movement of this tactic. This tactic is super simple: DLF(A) frees space for the IW(A) to attack in the back of the defence (also can feed him the ball). Focus play left/right helps with freeing up space on the other flank and support the current flank (this avoids endless crossing and helps keep possession). W(S) and RPM are able to switch the play to the other flank and pass to the AF(A)'s runs. Lots of one-twos and movement between the strikers and wingers (with the RPM's and fullbacks help). Deadly counter-attacks. The tactic is great vs the parked buses in the Portuguese League (something that I've always struggled with), also does really well in Europe or vs similar teams - in these situations I change my defensive line to Standart and Lower LOE, and maybe change the passing directness to standart. My first variation of this tactic was not as good, as soon as I switched the DLF(A) to the left It changed everything! The IW(A) started actually running behind and through the defence all the time and the left flank stopped being very predictable and one dimensional (AF(A) and IW(A) were just trying to run through and behind the defence). So imo if you want your IW(A) to have great ratings you need: good playmakers to feed him the ball. your strikers to free up space for him to attack an overall unpredictable attack. If you're just passing him the ball and hope he becomes Robben and dribbles past everyone you're gonna have a bad time (well, unless he's Robben ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 There are plenty of tactical downloads with IF/IW systems. Us posting our tactic up wouldn't really help you in fact it would be more beneficial to post what you have tried so we can help from there also something that has a rather large impact on IW/If is the actual player themselves. If the player doesn't have the right technical and mental attributes then you're wasting your time looking at other peoples tactics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasHK1979 Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share Posted March 14, 2021 Thanks for the feedback. But I would like to bring up a challenge. Is anyone in 433 or 4231 system able to get one of your IF/IW to be the best rated player throughout the season? Even top 3 rated seems impossible. And that’s ridiculous because IRL some of the best performers throughout the years has been from IF/IW positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyDepuydt1 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 My IW (s) in AML position at Anderlecht is best rated player and won belgian golden boot in this system.

Guest Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 This in no way really helps you tbh because you are basically looking for someone to confirm to you a position you have already take and until you accept where the problem lies you wont be able to change it but here in two separate saves. Milik has been converted in to a RW because he doesn't suit my F9 tactic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But already I have shown you it's possible considering my winger in my Nice save is the 2nd highest rated player in the league behind another IF (Neymar).

My Challenge is quite simple. Choose any team you like. Use a 4231 or 433 formation at make one of the IF/IWs to have the best season average on your team. I haven’t seen anyone being possible to manage that yet. Another thing that there’s quite simple. Move on if you don’t like the post.

crusadertsar Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) What's the point of getting high ratings on you IF/IW anyway? The only important thing is whether your tactic is working as you wish. Is it effective in winning you games? I don't get this obsessesion that some people have with ratings. Even if the player is not scoring or directly assisting on goals, he might be creating space for others to do so. And that in itself could be worth more than any simple 7 rating.

Of course it’s only me experiencing this🤦🏻 Point 1: It's been proven to you more than once now that it is possible. BTW do you not even see how often you have shifted the goal posts on this. Your initial OP was a blanket one, then the first response showed it working in a 442, so you removed that from your point and it became 433/4231 until Johnny proved to you it works in a 433 and now it's 4231 which has already been proven to you once in just this thread. Point2: Why don't you share your tactics just so we can confirm this isn't a tactical issue? At the moment you are suggesting we must have some different me that allows us to get high ratings for IF/IW so why not share your tactics and we can confirm that point right here right now for you.
