Gilberto Silva Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 So I am trying to create Ben White’s role for Arsenal - in that he kind of plays similar to the new inverted full-back role in real-life but does get forward and overlap with Saka on occasion. Would the inverted wing-back on defend duty still act as a third CB in possession but still occasionally look to break forward when there is an opportunity?

Miragepredator Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Tbh i'd just say he's a FB(automatic) with a team mentality of positive, he overlaps often and from what i remember, his positioning is slightly wider and higher then Saliba and Gabriel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthurbf10 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) I'm using Andrew Robertson as an IFB and he does it sometimes - rarely, though. I'm mentioning him because he has the 'Gets forward whenever possible' trait. Maybe you could up the frequency by using overlap and PI's like cross more often and cross from the byline Edited October 24, 2023 by arthurbf10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashidi Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 If you are camping and have control of the third, the IFB will sometimes go down the flank to drop a cross 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
