[FM24 - PC/Laptop advice thread *** PLEASE READ OPENING POST BEFORE POSTING ***]

Hey,

was looking for thoughts on this:

https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/hp-15s-fq4553sa-15-6-laptop-intel-core-i5-256-gb-ssd-silver-10229358-pdt.html#

seems really cheap but states up to 4.5ghz which from my limited understanding should give decent FM performance?

Had been looking around 500-600ish mark when I came across this, so would welcome alternatives. Laptop is for FM mainly, preferably able to play around 5 leagues or so without too much pain. Not too bothered on 3D or graphics side. 
 

Thanks.

@Jack722 Really good and v helpful. Any more insight on combinations? An example shape, instructions, roles? Something I am interested in but always struggled. Thanks

In my book, Icardi is a perfect poacher. And a poacher (role) supported by a trequartista behind him is a very good combo in general. 

 

If you move the wide midfielders to wide forward positions, your formation will be 4231 deep (with DMs), assuming you don't change other positions. If you want to use an enganche at all costs - and I hope you have a suitable player for the role - than a standard 4231 (with CMs) would make more sense (speaking merely of the formation).

But bear in mind that enganche as a role is better suited for possession-based styles of play (which is not quite the case with your current tactic).

Not set on the EG, main bit is about getting Icardi chances. So will give the Treq and poacher a go. 

Cheers!

I had kinda looked at it as a 4411 - so not a million miles away ....

Thanks for feedback, I had worried re AF but wanted to make most of icardi's off the ball and keep him as close to box as possible. Re the EG and AF, do you think that moving the wide players up to being IFs & Wa would impact this? As would get bodies closer to EG.

Much appreciated.

Hello, looking for feedback on my Inter 4231 deep. Not a fan of having wide players higher, so pulled them back to be a bit more solid. Feel we are playing ok but there can be a real lack of CCCs created. Main idea is for EG to feed Icardi directly, or winger to then find Icardi or Perisic or late arriving SV.
 

I've tried swapping the duties of IW and W but unsure what is best option. Any help appreciated.
