pairing central midfielders and strikers

[tripedius]

Lately I kind of screwed up who gets to play where. Was reading the TTF but probably got confused about the whole MCa/MCd FCa/FCd thing. At first things we're going good with Robihno and Vagner scoring one goal after the other but ever since they both have been injured they play like a blind man on heroin. I forgot how I had them before (in which position) and have changed them back and forth between positions but it didn't really help. It's quite frustrating to see Rob and Vag getting 5,9/6.1 match ratings, every match. So, my question is, what would be good settings for Rob and Vag and the same question goes for my midfield.

One FC has:
Normal mentality
high creative freedom
direct passing
mixed forward runs
often run with ball
Mixed, long shots, often through ball
Free role.

I usualy play Robinho here, as Vagner doesn't seem able to run with a ball.

Other FC has,
Attacking mentality
high creative freedom
Direct passing
Mixed foward runs / run with ball
Mixed Long shots, through ball

This is usually Vagner Love, but Robinho should be able to play here as well.

In the midfield I have kind of the same problem, I don't know who to play as MCd or MCa. My midfield is: Vuckenic, de Jong or Kuzmanovic/ Veloso.

Vuckenic would be mca and velose/de jong would be mcd etc

put creative freedom to mixed for strikers well i do anyways

Take away their creative freedom, runs, long shots and free roles. Sometimes, this works.

I would give Love the free role as it will make him look for space along with forward runs to often. Then reduce Robinho's run with ball to mixed and get rid of his free role and reduce his creative freedom. This means that Robinho will be the player looking to pass through to Love, who has better off the ball, composure and finishing, rather than trying to run through and around the whole defence on his own. Hope this helps
