Thanks! I'm new to the game and so it's all a bit overwhelming lol, but that's to be expected. My initial (uninformed) expectation would've been that a mezzala might make too many runs to the flanks and isolate an AP operating the the middle of the pitch. And perhaps an attacking midfielder might be a better option since they may stay more central. As I said though, that is pure uninformed speculation. Honestly what is most difficult for me as someone who wants to implement many of your suggestions is the fact that I'm an American who is not well versed in football in general, and so it's hard to me to have a picture in my head of how I want my team to play! I don't have a team I watch or a base of knowledge to work with, so I only have nebulous concepts that aren't exactly a cohesive style that translates to an FM tactic. Do you maybe have any suggestions on a resource that might be useful for a total newbie to use as a base for recreating a tactic? Or finding a style that can be translated to an FM tactic? Thanks again for the reply

May I ask what makes AP support and Mez on attack the best combo for you? Just so I can maybe use it and help train my eye on what makes them an effective pairing when I analyze tactics? I’m reading your football manager playbook and it’s great help, thank you very much!
