MarkJS1 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Is there anything wrong with using these two CM roles in a 4-3-3? I’ve heard using two playmakers can disjoint the team, however as they’re doing two different roles is this fine? I’ve actually been successful with this, however if it’s still harming my team and I could be performing even better, that would be good to know.

frukox Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 @MarkJS1Anything can work as long as it's logical but giving generalised advise won't help you much so sharing your tactic and the players profile you mentioned may probably be the way to go to get more proper advice.

CARRERA Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 There is no problem with using more than one playmaker if they are spread out by position or duty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Marines Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Watch during the match if your playmakers overlap on their run. It usually happens when you have them in CML CMR positions. In that case try "stay wider" to not make them go into the other side of the field. This could work but be careful if you're really obtaining what you want Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 In theory, your players could be confused about who to pass to, but in practice I've never had an issue playing a defensive and attacking midfielder. I just make sure they occupy very different areas of the pitch. For instance, I wouldn't play 2 MCs as DLP and AP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you play out from the back f.ex., and the ball ends up on either side of the pitch your playmakers will drift to that side to offer a short passing option, it very easily gets congested, playmakers often gets man marked and you've effectively set yourself in a sideways pressing trap where the only option is to hoof the ball to the opposite winger or your striker.
