chewbaccaloveaddiction Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 The wing-back is an essential part of modern football, especially for 352 or 343 formations. Here Dumfries (2) attacks to receive a cross at the far post at the same time notice how deep Dumfries defends This behavior is impossible to recreate in Football Manager The Defensive Winger in attack is great: The WB on the other hand is too passive: The Defensive Winger's positioning in defense is mostly terrible: They don't track back and leave massive gaps Even worse, in this situation the DW just stops: and if the right DW(2) tracked back, the CBs could have shifted over and defended that run even if the left DW was too slow. Similar situation with a WB: The WB tracks back and clears the ball to a corner. A Wing-back should attack and press like a Defensive Winger and defend like a Wing-back. A new role like a WB in M(R/L) position, or a rework of the Defensive Winger or Wing-back is necessary to recreate realistic 343 or 352 tactics. A new role can easily be marketed, but especially beginners might be confused by too many roles. Reworking the Wing-back or Complete Wing-back also fixes this problem, but that probably doesn't increase sales. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
