Hi, my first post ever, apologies if this is the wrong section of the forum.

I play for Slavia Prague, been doing really well, its season 15/16 atm. In the first season I bought these two young Nigerian Midfielders for practically nothing and theyve developed into good players, I keep getting offers for them for 5+ mil. Problem is, I don't really know how to play them. They both get way above 7 ratings but they dont really have assists and hardly any goals. What I mean to say is that they play well, but with these stats, rating, and judging by how desparately other clubs want them, they should be better Here's the first one

As you can tell I tried making him into my CM playmaker, good creativity etc, does killer balls... but he has very few assists for that role and hardly any key passes either, often hes pretty invisible. He does have some goals from past seasons bust most of them are from penalties. Im thinking about making him into a winger because of his pace but I'm not sure. What I have noticed is that hes pretty good when he comes forward, should I play him as a ACM playmaker? On my report card it says hes a box to box CM.

Here's the second one

With this guy I'm completely lost. He's really good at free kicks+ corners (that makes up all of his assist points), but I don't how to play him at all. I tried playing him as DLP DM and now I usually play him as a DLP CM, but really not sure. Really not sure what to do about him, all my scouts and coaches say hes extremeley talented, and his average rating is also above 7 but like the first guy, he doesn't seem to produce much.


Sorry for the long post, I hope I did it right, cant wait to see what you guys think, I really need a second opinion, I only started with FM 11 so I'm not very experienced. Thanks!

For the first guy the most obvious situation would be to make him you're primary playmaker with the creative burden on him as the AMC get the team to feed off him. Give him more creative freedom and see how he does.
By the way which formation are you lining up in ?

Well for the second guy i'd probably put him as the jack of all trades in the midfield. Maybe just as a CM on a support duty to help the team tick along through defensive mid and att duties. Or just put him as the BBM and work on a few PPM's with him and make him even more all round.

Good luck with it. Good players never found them on FM. Nice scouting !
