I would ussually use the MCL as my advanced playmaker but am looking into the possibility of setting both wingers as advanced playmakers.

My question is do people find that wide playmakers are a viable tactic in FM 2011?

Also Do tactics work if you set 2 players as playmakers or are you ussually better off with just 1?


Thanks guys

Yes, it works. I play Hazard in AML as an advanced playmaker - attack and he is phenomenal. Just have his wide play to cut inside. I also have 2 playmakers, Defour is a DLP and Hazard is the Advanced and it works fine, just don't set an actual playmaker in the tactic or you stifle the creativity.

If you look at the guide in my sig it links to Mike's modern 4-4-2, check it out where he talks in much greater detail about how to work it.
