trym.jorg Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I was just wondering if you guys have found a method to run everything through your insane wingers such as a Salah, Saka, etc. And I'm not thinking about putting Salah on every corner, pen, and freekick just to "boost" his numbers, but actually in the game. Every comment is much appreciated in advance :-) (PS: yes I might be thinking of trying to recreate Salah`s debut season for Liverpool. Where he achieved 44 goals and 15 assists (Ik he was overperforming, but still) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzrulMaulud Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 wingers. i never get my wingers performs consistently, be it on mc strata or amc. what i did notice is that the opposition wingers (always) dancing around my backline from one corner to the other to have a shot and scores. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like their movement with roles like CF, as they can drop deep, run into space, roam wider, and move into channels as it suits them. Their ratings are usually much higher on average than when I use them out wide. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ_Randell Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 You'd have to make sure the tactic is built for them to be the main goalscoring outlet. Playing a 433 for example, have the striker vacate the space by dropping into midfield, have the fullback overlap to force the IF more central and the CM behind them needs to hold position as not to get in his way. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying its cheating but kinda. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

crusadertsar Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 (edited) @trym.jorg If you want him to score like young Salah then by all means don't play him in a wide attacker role Edited April 16 by crusadertsar 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vrig Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 You can find comments from Klopp and Salah at the time where it's stated that his job was to play as close to the opposition CBs as possible. That tells you straight off the bat that playing him as an AF would be a good starting point. If I remember correctly, they also saw their system as more of a 442/4411 than the 433 people commonly put it down as. Personally I always thought it was a diamond, given how deep Firmino played and how narrow the 'wide' forwards always were. The point is that if you can't emulate a winger scoring 44 goals in a season, it might be because they were never really a winger in the first place. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, unless you are Ronaldo, wingers/inside forwards don't generally score 44 goals in a season. That's true in real life and in FM too. Curiously, the narrow diamond would also be my assessment of Liverpool in that era. Edited April 16 by crusadertsar 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbucket58 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 (edited) It’s really hard to get wingers to score 30+ league goals in this years FM as it is in real life I suppose. I’ve also tried to maximize that position in this years FM but the IF usually caps out at around 20 non-penalty/set piece league goals with a regen player similar to Salah’s abilities ,which is the same output as Salah after that crazy season. The only time I’ve consistently had a IF consistently score around 30+ non-penalty league goals was with Mbappe (Crazy Mixture of Pace/Technicals/Mentals) or as mentioned by @crusadertsar a IF regen that was as dangerous on the ground as he was in the air (Ronaldo). In my experience the hardest part is finding the player rather than getting the desired scoring output. Edited April 16 by Yellowbucket58 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are teams that have been playing like that though irl, Toulouse FC comes to mind they were playing like that and had managed to stay in Ligue 1 for a long time. 2 hours ago, vrig said: You can find comments from Klopp and Salah at the time where it's stated that his job was to play as close to the opposition CBs as possible.

Used to play like that and my two strikers with "stay wider" instruction scored a lot. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trym.jorg Posted April 17 Author Share Posted April 17 (edited) A little update on my quest. I might have achieved the goal output. I just took a knap tactic and put the right inside toward as an complete forward on support with tackle harder and stay wider. I'm not sure if the other roles fit the old Klopp system (for example the AF is not the role Firmino played) FM24.3EFV10Knap451MCP103FACC.fmf Edited April 17 by trym.jorg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trym.jorg Posted April 17 Author Share Posted April 17 PS: I went on holiday through the whole season, I put Salah on light training to avoid any injuries and less fitness since he was locked in that position throughout the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
