SQUAD (UPDATED)
This is how I use my players when available. Does not mean that they are used most effectively. For.e.g my right winger is a left footer with 18 crossing, he may do even better on the left. My second choice AMC is probably not the best choice as AMC etc. My second choice left winger is basically an AM/CM hybrid with decent finishing and poor crossing etc.
Strikers
1st choice
View attachment 310622 View attachment 310621
PPM for Morelli: runs with ball through center, runs with ball often, rounds keeper, plays one-two
PPM for Brandi: None
2nd choice
1st one sold...not good enough technical

PPMs: None
Most of my strikers are very very good in the air. My corner setup:

My strikers are still set to swap positions. That means that sometimes Morelli is there at the near post and sometimes Brandi so they share goals.
AMC
View attachment 310613 View attachment 310612
Koffi PPM: Runs with ball through center, runs with ball often
Vassel PPM: Runs with ball through center, plays one-two
Vassel was primarily a CM that I used as a wide midfielder in WoW tactic but since he is 4 stars I didnt want to sell him so I retrained him as AMC trequartista.
AMR (right wing)
b/c originally Bwomper suggested that these roles are inside forwards so I went with opposite foot

Tilguath PPM: runs with ball down center, runs with ball down left
Song PPM: runs with ball through center
AML (left wing)
View attachment 310582 View attachment 310581
Ragusa PPM: runs with ball through center, runs with ball often, round keeper, plays one two, avoids weaker foot
West PPM: runs with ball through center, hits free kicks with power, plays one two
DMs
1st choice

PPMs: None
2nd choice
View attachment 310578 View attachment 310577
Bianchini PPM: marks opponents tightly, long range passes
Efthymiou PPM: none
my DMs are all DMs, two could naturally play CM. But I have trained all of them as AMCs and trequartista (
as I read Jes said that he used players like David Silva as DM) this has perhaps lead to them losing the 17 pace that I mentioned before, now they are at 16.
So I will perhaps remove this for next season and make them back to proper DMs?
Defenders
1st choice
View attachment 310576 View attachment 310575 View attachment 310574
Sannuto PPM: runs with ball down right, plays one two, marks opponents tightly, knocks ball past opponent
Capucilli PPM: marks opponents tightly, does not dive into tackles
Joseph PPM: runs with ball down left, gets forward whenever possible, knocks ball past opponents, marks opponents tightly
As you can see, my first choice defense consists of two retrained fullbacks. They are world class and I was lucky to find FBS with great strength and jumping, so I retrained them to DC rather than selling them and they have been a huge success. I mentioned before but their attacking instincts and PPMs dont make them a liability but they make them more fun attacking wise. Not sure if its due to PPM or PIs but I see them sometimes dribble from my box to opposition box and they cause havoc as the opposition dont know how to treat them. I wold recommend these sort of DCR/DCL
2nd choice
View attachment 310563 View attachment 310562 View attachment 310561
PPMs: Marks opponents tightly for all three
These were my 1st choice DCs for WoW, they've become backup with Frankenstein.
GK
just OKish IMO
