lowjohn92 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 How would you set up a Liverpool midfield, at the moment im playing; Thiago(rpm) - henderson(bbm) Fabinho(hb) But lets say i put in Jones for thiago, or keita/elliot for henderson, do you think i should go with the same roles or should i customize for each player? Im thinking about carrilero, mezzala for exemplet? What roles would you use? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElJefe4 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I would personally play Fabinho as a DM (D) rather than a HB. Maybe even a BWM (D) if I was chasing the game and wanted him to press more. I think he generally will stay ahead of our CBs, as illustrated by the pass maps below (Henderson is the 6 in the 2nd one). I'd be concerned that he'd drop too deep as a Half Back. Thiago as a Roaming Playmaker I would agree with. Either this or Deep Lying Playmaker so he sits in next to Fabinho. He has Comes Deep to Get Ball as a PPM though so he'll probably do this often enough anyway, even as a Roaming Playmaker. Henderson is the most difficult to nail down IMO. He has Comes Deep to Get Ball himself which doesn't help as he hasn't been doing that this season. I think he goes higher than a Carrilero would allow for, so I'd lean towards B2B or Mezzala. If you play Trent as an inverted wing back I'd be more inclined to use Henderson as a Mezzala to ensure you stretch the play wide on the right. If you use Trent as a WB/CWB he should keep the width himself, in which case Henderson as a B2B might be a better bet. This thread might be of interest to you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Ace Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I've always seem Henderson as a Carr(A), he seems to pull wide quite a lot to cover Trent and gets some crosses in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
