Friends, foes, and fragile minds - i return with a gift of a tactical masterclass in the emulation sector, this is the peak of tactical replication on the sigames forum
This is xabi's leverkusen vs freiberg which occurred on sunday the 29th of october:
disregard haste, within the limitations of the match engine (fm24) we have had to forgo certain TI's which unfortunately now negate around 10% possession in order to create a tactic that yields results
i've been reading the posts here, and what i think you all lack is a creative bone, dont limit yourselves to these 'roles' that are on fm, broaden your mind, yes perhaps in real life boniface is a true cf, except he's not, and he's not an advanced forward either, he's boniface and xabi alonso has sliders irl and he can use to tell him what to do in and out of posession, rather than saying today big bon you are going to play CFa, capisce? with the lack of options and (bring back sliders in some manner) by giving us colorful position dummies you have all become attached to roles where infact you need to approach the game differently from this day onwards3
we currently play the best football on the planet, like leverkusen

with the extreme limitations of the match engine, this is the closest you will get:
wirtz = f9, moves into channels. now go and watch a leverkusen game, frimpong defends way higher than wba/cwba, so dw is ideal with gets further forward and crosse from byline, some games he cuts inside, some games he runs wide with it, again, we are limited to only selecting one so i don't select one, because i dont want these limits
for the LWB, stay wider take more risks dribble more, now you may say, but grimaldo moves inside to take long shots a lot of the game, no he doesn't he simply does not, he takes long shots from positions he finds himself in during set pieces, and playing the lwb as wba instead of iwba you will still see the boy running inside as long as you once again don't limit the player to running wide with the ball!
free your minds from self imposed shackles
savio is the wirtz position, he doesn't have comes deep to get ball etc and look where he often finds himself with the ball ala wirtz
look at the two midfielders deciding a 1-1 pattern ala xhaka palacios
shadow striker on fm is not shadow striker irl, do not be fooled by the names given to you
out of posession we look like a back 4 at times, and a back 3 at other times, ala leverkusen
this is it, capisce
edit: nevermind i give up, impossible atm lets see what me is like on release!
