The FM22 AMC Thread

Excited to be getting rewards and great statistical gameplay from my young star AMC. He plays mostly as a Trequartista in the AMC spot, but sometimes I switch to AMC-A with PIs.

Cool result!

Still struggling to get my own AMC up to that standard... Do you mind sharing your roles and duties around him?

Had to abandon my last save. While the RMD+AFa combination was quite nice and the diagonals to their flank were effective enough, the AMC quickly became a sore weak point. I always got around 10 okay games out of him. Average ratings but good pre-assists and a great focal point. But afterwards he tended to drift too strongly to the "wrong" side, creating a massive hole on the pitch and infringing on other players' spaces. Maybe it is one of those things were "instincts" are great but my *cough* tactical brilliance messed things up.

But on the flipside, I finally figured something out:
--The AMa acts exactly how I want the AMs to act, especially if we have a naturally creative player taking up that role. Comes deep enough to link midfield and attack but also comes into the box. Sometimes late to receive cutbacks, sometimes early to link up with supportive strikers or deeper playmakers. Scores a fair amount of assists and even more pre-assists and enough goals to make an impact.
--The SS acts exactly how I want the AMa to act. Runs toward the goal but also plays risky passes from deep or short clinical passes inside the box to better positioned teammates.
--To get a player to act like the SS I want to have, I usually take the role and give it even more aggressive PPM and PI. Beating the Offside Trap is a good starting point. It may be superstition and coincidence but I also like "Tries First Time Shots". And players with low Teamwork. The PI to shoot more often also helps but for that I also usually try to give the player the "Get into Opposition Area"-PPM as well; otherwise there are a few too many long shots.

I also think the AMC roles, particularly those more "neutral" ones are way more finicky than they were in the last years were. I have had successes with really good well-rounded players but for players that are not the top of the crop, specialists are the way to go. Particularly with really high Flair and a focus on creativity. Those tend to produce the most results and also match ratings. Dribblers with okay finishing AND creativity also do quite well. But pure finishers are dependant on results and average players with high speeds have four to five extremely good games (especially against outclassed opponents) but way too often stay invisible.

Had my best season ever for production from an AMC. Not only that, but the backup also was stellar. I'll post tactic below. It was very great to see production from the number 10, we won the Premier League but lost the CL final to Real Madrid in Extra time. Bummed by that.

This was the tactic I used to get the AMa running.

Early on I was already considering scrapping this concept as the AMa stopped performing after some really good test games. Merely two assists in 12 games. Nothing worked as expected. But his replacement, an 18 year old talent that, according to my AssMan merely was ready for football two leagues further down managed a goal and an assist in his roughly 100 minutes of playtime and once I started him, it went upwards fast. This young guy who should have never started a game ended the season with 8 goals and 15 assists. Calculated upwards to thetime he would have had as a starting player fom the start, it would have been an 11/21. Not bad for such an inexperienced player who exploded due to his playing time and high ratings and now is one of my most valuable players.

My original starter was a speedster (17/17) with otherwise average stats. My youngster only had average speed but great OtB-movement (15) and good creativity (16 passing, 14 flair, 13 vision), making him appear at the right places and contributing lots of intelligent and precise passes in the final third. His other attributes were well below average but where he is good, he is *really* good and that counts here

I have stay wider on the AMR, and stay narrow on the FB on the right

[JurgenSchmidt]

I'm setting myself the challenge of playing a 4231 (or hybrid 4411) and very strictly want a big physically dominating target man, and a number 10 who will be the star. Thinking shadow striker/treq. 

 

I want to have 2 wingers, and can get the sitting deep counter attacking side to work relatively well for big teams and European adventures.

 

Any advice on how to use a target man in a more "positive" beautiful football way for when I play smaller teams as I become more established?
