I am currently playing with a formation like this
my striker instruction
my amc, the kaka role what i am saying.
i dropped deep my another amx to make my kaka role much more front
Their could be several reason for your AMcs not perform the way you want. It could be the lack of width + slow tempo( him making his moves forward too soon ion the attacks, resulting in him standing still and being marked when the ball finally gets there), a too direct and quick game( the ball being hit over the top of the defenders onto no one etc etc. But if looking at their settings only, i would suggest that you play your FC in a more advanced position so that he both gets closer to the goal as well as drag the opposition our wide, out of position more often. As you flood the midfield, the center of the park where these players operate will be crowded on you own initiative. as you are also playing with a top team, there is a good chance that most opponents play cautious against you, sitting deep with the defence as well as their midfield, all within a narrow approach. This means that the space will be even harder to find in the center of the park.
My suggestions would be the following.
- Either use FC-FC-AMC....or
- Play Wider and use a more advanced FC. Instead of letting the other AMC drop deep, let him create space by play even more attacking, roaming to drift out wide where the space is to be found. I would also give the "kaka" player a higher closing down setting so that he sometimes actually breaks up attacks, instead letting the FC concentrate on the attacking duties only ( low closing down). I would also provide kaka with a free role ( off the ball movement) but with the wide play cut inside ( with the ball movement). This way, will both drift to find space but when with the ball, he will go for goal him self or set up another player making a run into the box.
If you want, you could try one of mine favourite settings, found beneath
The Rioting Hole AMC Link to Setting http://img641.imageshack.us/i/theriotingholeamc.png/
This player lies in the hole between the Forward/s and the Midfield. Although given a free role, he will only roam and find free space in the attacking part of the field and when in possession of the ball, he will instantly cut inside, looking for a pass, a quick cross or have a go at the goal. If playing in a 4411, he will drift wide if the space is to be found their and if the winger has the ball, he will seek space in the box if it’s to be found.
This player can be the absolute key of the tactic, even if it looks like he is having a bad game, not making more then 15 passes through out the game. How is that then? Well, by using his movement, he creates space for the others to move into. With this said, he needs to be mobile and if creative with good decision or passing, this is your top man
Famous Players (in FM11.3) Arshavin ( Arsenal), Silva ( manc ), Lampard ( Chelsea), Gerrard ( liverpool)
Preferred player moves: Moves into channels, cut inside, runs down X flank, gets into opposition area
