[Tactical Challenges #1: The Poacher]

I have had a more than successful season with a poacher in a 4-4-2 where my team ended up in the 4th spot of the German Bundesliga whilst being predicted to be relegated. I have to say that this was also down to some big teams struggling (Dortmund, Schalke) and some lucky wins.

What I'm still not liking, however, are my two center midfielders. Currently, I'm using a CM(s) and a CM(d) but it just doesn't look too good. Does anybody know how Atlético Madrid are using their two CMs in real life?

I have a question concerning the filtering in the scouting area. Back in FM16 and 17 when I filtered for "at least 15 xy" only players with ranges from 15-z showed up. This year, when applying the same filter, the game also shows players with attribute ranges like 10-15 or 13-16.

Is there any method to adjust the filters so that it works like the previous years?

I know, I just wanted to understand what he meant

No mine dropping deep even without added PPM. Make sure that you are playing with at least structured mentally if you want all your players to play as their role describes

With "at least", do you mean either structured or highly structured or do you mean: structured or higher shapes?

I also just switched to a 442 with a poacher upfront based on the limitations of my best striker. However, the F9 is absolutely not behaving as described in the tactics screen. I often find him almost on par with my poacher despite him having the PPM "Comes Deep to Get the Ball". So I decided to move him back into the AMC as a Trequartista.

Has anybody else had the same issue with his F9 or DLF(s)?
