skybluedave Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Say a 4231 or 433, would an inverted wing back work with an inside forward or inverted winger ahead of him in AML/R? Or should it ideally be a winger in front? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdubsnz Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) @Rashidi what an awesome write-up, thank you! any idea how you would get Arteta's Arsenal to play? probably last season? interested how you would get the Zinchenko role working. this is my attempt, haven't put it into action yet as just started the season and read your post. I have Zinchenko on more direct and risky passing, White running wide with the ball and staying wider and Saka cutting inside with the ball. Also figured a CM(a) / Mes (s) could work with a Havertz/Odegaard combo with Rice at DM (when he arrives!). Any feedback greatly received Edited October 24, 2023 by jdubsnz adding screenshot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan787 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) Il 17/9/2023 in 08:02 , Rashidi ha scritto: POSITIONAL PLAY EXPLAINED FOR FM24 This is new to FM24, allowing you to build formations that morph into different ones during different phases. These changes to formation depend entirely on the roles you have chosen. This is an absolutely amazing analysis. I'd like to suggest you to analyze also the Inzaghi system at Inter. I think that his 3-5-2 system shows very enhanced rotation, in particular on the flanks, so it is an evolution of the Atalanta system you had described. In my opinion is a very good example of positional play applied to a system 3-5-2 which wasn't born for this type of play. The interaction between mezzala, wingbacks and strikers are very complicated and it should be interesting to see if the improvement in positional play make possible what was impossible in the previous editions. What do you think? Edited October 24, 2023 by Ivan787 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatigoalFM Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) Thank you @Rashidi for another great piece of work and for all that you have to say here and elsewhere. It's interesting to see the halfback stall in the build-up phase on the left or right in a double-pivot system. Can this positional movement be reproduced with another role solely in this build-up phase ? In Olympique de Marseille's last Europa League match against AEK, Rongier and Kondogbia dropped back to set up 3 defenders, allowing Lodi and Ndiaye to make inside calls. There were two sequences of this type around the 6th and 16th minutes, but not throughout the match. Edited October 29, 2023 by Batigoal__ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashidi Posted October 29, 2023 Author Share Posted October 29, 2023 I did a halfback video on my channel where I explained the few ways a halfback can move in the game. If he is playing as part of a double dm system he will drop back and act like a wide centreback in build up play. With the right roles like a WM with sit narrow or an IW who will play narrower in midfield. With the halfback dropping Deép a WM IW or a WP in the central midfield could all come inside.

luka_zg Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 This is my system in defence and attack. Other variation is to make IFB/D to FB/S or even CWB/S and make DLP/D. This will give me even more bite in attack. The main gola scoring threats are AF, Iw/A and SV/A, working very well mostly. Against big teams away not so much. Not sure why. Playing as ManUtd.

ibrahim.akbyk Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Fantastic guiede as always Last night, I tried Libero role and I saw some lovely positional play from my Libero(sup). Yasin, who was our IFB(d), plays firts time with L(s), who was in space which created by MEZ(s). Then L(s) decided to dribble with ball and pass it to our left winger who was running behind the defence. For this movement, we have PF(a), Mez(s) and righ winger for occupying the opposition player. If there was no player positioning himself high of the pitch like mez(s), I guess opposition would press more aggressively to our L(s). Because of the presence of Mez(s), opposition had to decide what to do. Likewas PF(a)'s movement for our left winger. Then Ali Akman, who was playing on the left winger, meet the ball and he had space and time for a nice shoot. Lovely movement, nice goal from guys. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also the fact that they might spend loads of time in the centre, but not be found on the ball and be bypassed, which is why I never really trust average position Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it's possible for Football Manager in the future, but it would be interesting to be able to "extract" the particular attributes of the roles that are coded by proposing them in the PIs to be activated. For example, a Segundo Volante could very well remain eccentric during the construction phase by forming a line of 3 in defence by activating the attribute in the PIs that is originally associated with the halfback role. Segundo Volante's role would remain that of an explosive midfielder, but would have the special feature of being able to have a mechanism linked only to the halfback role, rather than all of it. I don't know if that's clear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceefax the cat Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) Looks like I'll have to wait for next year to be able to shuffle the midfield 4 across into a 3 when space is vacated by the WP or IW. Been trying to do that for years, in order to do Ancelotti-type 442--->433 or 442-->Xmas Tree. I like the idea of defending in a 4-4-2 no matter what, and just having different systems with the ball... Man City do it quite a lot... Barcelona did it a few years ago too, with Neymar dropping to the left wing and the midfield 3 shuffling across without the ball. @Jack Sarahs Do you think these positional shifts might appear at some point? I'm loving inverted fullback so far mind. Allows me to fit one more beastly, clogging centre half into a dour 4-4-2 Edited November 7, 2023 by ceefax the cat 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bababooey Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Has anyone tried using a halfback in front of a back 3? My idea is to do something where one of the 3 center backs goes on an underlapping run, while the halfback drops in to cover for him and form a back 3 with the remaining two center backs. Then, we could have a CM who drops deep to form a 3-2 build up shape. Is this nutso or solid ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunnerfan Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 @Rashidi - I've been using a 4-2-3-1 DM, with my AMR set to IF/S. But the player I use there has the skills to be an excellent RMD, so I'm going to try him in that role. My question is: I usually play a WB/S in the DR slot. But with an RMD up front on that side, would I be better off playing an IWB on that side? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashidi Posted November 30, 2023 Author Share Posted November 30, 2023 U could I have found the RMDs can work well in both mid and high blocks this year. High blocks are challenging necessitating the use of work ball into box and you will need either a Mez\WB comb or WB/W combo on the opposite flank.

ceefax the cat Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I like playing defensively and I'm thinking the most defensive thing I could possibly do might be to make my fullbacks WCB's and my wingers wingbacks, with a halfback as my second central defender. So attack as a 4-4-2, defend as a 5-3-2. Could be fun. Or even pull one of the strikers out to the wing, or to SS, and defend as a 5-4-1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HB is the only role that will rotate backwards in the positional play rotations feature. This isn’t to say players or other roles don’t come deep to get the ball generally however.

Maybe in the future would be cool to have a CM(d) coming as a holding mid with the ball for example defending in 5-3-2 and attacking with 3-4-2-1 so a cm drop and form a double pivot while a Mezz or cm attack form a 3 man striker partnership which isn't possible, also a problem is that 2 strikers do not recognize the positional movement of DM or CM and don't shift i think has been raised as a bug which is pretty evident that case.

NineCloudNine Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I’m finding that HB dropping between CBs and IFB moving into a back 3 when the CWB on the other side attacks are both working beautifully. Less so IWB moving into DM, I suspect because there is a lot more movement involved. In my Liverpool save (which I started purely to use TA-A as an IWB) he seems to spend half the game running back and forth between FB and DM. I’ve had more success playing him as either a CWB or as a DLP-S. Maybe there’s a lesson in there! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play a 4-3-3 with a IFB on the left, two BPDs, TAA on the right and a DLP-D. I usually have a W on the left side and an IF or IW on TAA’s side. AP and B2B in the middle. If I make TAA an IWB, in possession he moves into DM strata and the DLP shunts over. This works as expected, the problem being that it’s quite a long way between those positions so he does a lot of running back and forth. If I make him a CWB he bombs up and down the wing. He is still sometimes caught out of position when possession is lost and he’s upfield, but the DLP and the three defenders seem to cope better with the transition. The other issue is that when possession is won when TAA is positioned at DR it takes a few moments for him to sprint into DM, when in fact I want him on the ball right away. I often see him arriving at his DM station just in time to see the DLP or the CMs play a killer ball to the forward line. As a CWB he’s ready to participate in the attack immediately, wherever he happens to be. These are impressions from watching extended highlights, not full games and not studying data. I do win more with him as CWB, partly I suspect because crossing is powerful in the ME and he’s very good at that.
