A player fit for TM( A) is basically a beast with no pass and vision but with skills so the main tactical instruction to him would be "play ball, boy". All "attack" roles are selfish roles. What people around an attack role do doesn't matter. You just need a 10 to find him (or more preferably a...

Uhh... So no one will be at the flanks at all? To help with possession and all???? How is this going to work?

What you want is impossible without the use of (1or 2) dm(s) imo. No matter what you do, there will be gaps to a tactic, it's up to you to choose where. 4-4-2 in general (in most of it's forms) is a stand-off formation, pressuring will leave you wide open. Try a control mentality with higher...

I'd use a more disciplined role than cfw but add free role to him. Definitely support though.

Yes this has happened to me too, I've posted it on funny ss, both PC date and game date must be April 1st for it to appear.

Lol this thread is great, had some good laughs, here is a classic April's Fool prank from SI, it's been around for many years, I hope others have had it happened too, it must be 1st of April in both game date and PC date for the message to appear...

A friend of mine got Xhaka for a Gerrard replacement. Didn't work at all but I still think it's worth mentioning :P

Well yes but the best you can do with that will be a normal defensive line or higher if you want to play control and it will generally will make it difficult to play unless you use very large fluidity (with those players you probably can though). I tend to conceive too much (with a worse team-...

False Nine is actually a position for people who are natural AMCs / not to strong to play higher, he will be a better false nine than a lot natural forwards.

Idk what you mean by that, they play a classic narrow diamond formation (more of a 1-2-1-2 instead of a 3-1-2, Pirlo is kinda deeper and defense line is deep), Pirlo is (amazingly) in a defensive midfielder role rather than a deep lying play-maker one, they use fluidity and control with better...

Use larger zones (change your philosophy towards a more fluid rank) or make the false nine a ten (shadow striker for example).

Not Spurs, I've used it with Toulouse FC, it works ok and produces a lot of chances. I unchecked retain possesion as said and set the mcl and mcr postions to more direct, and I'm experimenting on the passes up-front. I am also using the central midfielder in a support role (and maybe I'll put...

You need smart people to play a good passing game, simple as that. You need defenders with vision, passing, composure, decisions and technique to find a target man accurately. Good luck finding one of them that costs less than 15M :P You have to selectively choose players to make direct passes...

Everything with "attack" role drives into space
