i have him in my team and i realy cant seem to get the best out of him,does any1 have any ideas,i play him on the right and he just seems to go through the motions:O
He's an advanced playermaker on support for me in AMC...he gets like 10 goals, and 17 assists in a season (but he doens't play every game.) he goes thorught phases on mine...he has a time when he scores like two hattricks in a row, then doesn't score for ages...on the rigth wing he gets more assists, but less goals I find...make sure his long shots are on often, he's alwasy scoring them for me..
I'm using the 10.3 update with Tug's Training - Attacking Midfielders and playing him in my AC Milan team under the classic 4 - 1 - 2 - 1 - 2 formation. Basically playing him as the new Kaka and he more than does the job.
He's at his best simply set as advanced playmaker with the attack role and as the team's primary playmaker. Make sure one of your strikers is a deep lying forward, this seems to create more chances in and around the box for him. DON'T set long shots to often, he will waste possesion this way by shooting when he should pass. Leave all settings to default for advanced playmaker.
Don't know how long you have had him for, but he maybe taking awhile to get use to the way your tactics work and use to his new team mates. For some the blending process does take a good while.
As for where to play..obviously he is a great AMC, but he can be trained to be a good MC too in my opinion and through games I have played also because of the tactic I use. Failing that play him in an AMR roll does well there too considering he is right footed.
But just give the team a chance to blend and him too. Often thats the main problem.
Hope that helps and good luck with your game
