Hi all
Just started playing FM 2011 and wondered how important it is to have the right player roles for each player. I like to play 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 (standard style with 1 DM behind 2 CM) with varying success.
I've found if I am managing a team with wicked players it works really well. But when managing poor teams is not going so great.
Do most people find a successful combination of player roles and attack/support settings and stick with them or do you every time you put a different player in the starting lineup alter their role accordingly depending on stats? Also how much difference does it make if you set for example a centre midfielder to a stand CM or a box to box midfielder?
At the moment I ussually have
4-4-2
* 1 target man (attack) and 1 poacher (attack) up front (fit strikers in depending on stat suitability)
* 2 wingers (attack setting), 2 standard Centre midfielders (support setting)
* 2 standard CB, fullbacks on support setting
I would then have tactics set to attack at home or counter away. Whichever players are playing (except for the forwards) I would fit them into this system
OR
4-3-3
* 1 poacher/complete forward/target man - depending on stats (attack)
* 2 Wingers (attack)
* 2 standard Centre midfielders (support setting), 1 DM (defend
* 2 standard CB, fullbacks on support setting
I would then have tactics set to attack at home or counter away. Whichever players are playing (except for the forwards) I would fit them into this system
Any advice anyone can give me would be much appreciated
