Problems with Carrick???

[Ma-Li]

Does anyone else have any problems with Carrick?

The rest of the team is fine but I don't understand why he doesn't seem to fit into my team?

Any pointers as to how I can get more out of him?

I've tried different levels of passing, creative freedom, free role, etc.

Really, I'm wanting him to sit in the middle of the park spraying passes all over the pitch whilst Hargreaves does the hard graft and does the DMC duties, Hargreaves consistantly gets 7.5+ ratings whilst Carrick just never seems to cut it!

Have u tried tellin him that u r deeply upset with his recent performances and then drop him for a bit

Carrick did well for me last season. I think his passing is mixed-possibly direct away from home...shorter at home possibly...and creativity is high, only just more so than mixed though. Run with ball little, through balls often, mentality normal...or occassionally attacking at home.

I'm sure his instructions are usually like that for me

I would rather use Carrick as MCd. I've got him set to FWR rarely and have him at the same mentality as my fullbacks. He's pretty consistent with his performances. I don't know what tactics you are using so I can't really give any other tips. Use Scholes or Anderson as MCa rather.
