Hi, I'm currently playing as Manchester United (you might remember i asked you some questions before). It's all going fine, except for the use of my playmaker. Hamsik is a quality football player, as is laybad, and yet when i play them in my three man midfield as advanced playmakers they get about 15-25 passes a game....hardly a playmaker,a nd usually the least amount of passes in my team. I haven't changed any of the player instructions at all really....any idea? Would be much appreicated if you could help me get them more passes
have you selected him as your playmaker? if so, undo that! it actually works counter productively sometimes depending on formation and instructions
it depends on the instructions of the players around him, ask the two wider Cm's to never run from deep or run with ball, just through balls sometimes, ask the central cm (playmaker, Hamsik) to run from deep always and move into channels
see if that works, it will force the playmaker to look for space to receive the pass from the other more defensive cm's, this is when you can make him the "playmaker"
