NineCloudNine Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) That’s a Halfback. It’s one of my favourite FM roles. Starts as a DM out of possession but in posession drops between the CBs, who move wide to make a back three allowing the FBs to push up aggressively. Sergio Busquets was the master of this in the early Guardiola era. De Jong played a lot of his early Ajax career at CB so was a natural at HB. He doesn’t do it for Barcelona because Xavi only plays with one attacking FB and has the other as what FM would call an IFB tucking in. I trained Giacomo Faticanti at Roma to be a HB with plays long passes and switches to other flank PPMs. He turned into a quarterback launching missile passes around the field from the back. It was awesome. Edited March 19 by NineCloudNine 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
