How to get the best out of an attacking midfielder


Recommended Posts

How to get the best out of an attacking midfielder, In particular Riquelme or it could be Arshavin or Nasri. I play Riquelme in a 4-2-3-1 formation. He has scored 4 goal in 8 games but 3 have been pens and 1 was a freekick and if he doesn't score his rating is pretty average, around 6.5.

He is the only player in my system that isn't playing to the best of his ability. Just so you know I have unchecked the long shots option as he shoots too often and spoils attacking moves, I have him on medium through balls, and medium run with ball, any suggestions would be most welcome?.

What do you want him to do? Sit in the hole and keep putting in throughballs? Or make the striker hold up play and make him run into the box?

If you want him to stay in the hole, just reduce your mentality, put FWRs often on one of your CMs and the striker.

Put FWRs rarely on the CAM, Try through balls at Often, Run with ball on mixed and Cross ball on mixed. Give free role, lots of creative freedom and let him take some long shots.

If he's playing in the hole, a lot depends on the teammates' runs into the box and overall play in general I think.
