Wingers Vs. Inner Forwards

[Ursulla]

Which one works better for your tactic...The one that dribble along the touhcline and crosses just to get cleared by their defence or the one who cuts inside that suicide/crashes into the their defence? What are your specific orders for them?Do you give the same orders to all of them or do you give specific order for each player?Do you swap them during game and what are the benefits of swapping them?What are you looking for in swapping?And what is the right timing to do to swapping?

I tend to use inside forwards, with overlapping fullbacks who cross from the byline. When it comes to swapping wings, I only allow it if both players are comfortable on both wings and with both feet.

i use both in fm2013, usually, winger in left, and IF on right. In every save i got, most of great traditional wingers are lefty.

it gives dynanism in my team. a

It's all about how you think football, your philosophy of the game, wingers are better suited for a kind of football, IF's are better suited to another.

But what are your reasons to do the swapping?when do you feel it's a good to try it?And when the fullback is overlapping does the inside forward knows how to make use of him?Don't you see it as as dangerous movement since he has to hold the ball until the fullback is ovelapping and if he looses the ball the wing is left open for a counter attack?

Which one seem to be more efficient...which one gets more assists?

That's for sure...But I want know which ones works better in FM since they both seem to suck...

@ursulla- the winger is always the more consistent, crosses are awesome.

though the IF once in a while has monster games.

my winger is more consistent bec of how i set up my team, i had him dribbling and crossing as much as possible, he is more direct.

as my team dont exploit flanks, IF suffers more IMO in terms of directness.

Thanks,that's very helpful....How do you instruct the winger in crosses Early/Drill/Floating...what should I be considering which one to use?The early? The drill? The floating?So many choices...

depends on striker, if they he is tall, i set the crosses as default, if he is quite small, i use drill. never used float, dont like it IRL.

its always from byline. the FB( LB) behind my winger is more defensive, crossing from deep. while the FB( RB) behind my IF iS more attacking, providing overlaping and being more of a winger.

but my MCR is always defensive, a BWM, to cover for my attacking RB

Thanks very enlightening,I got all the abbreviations except IRL?What specific instructions you give to your Inside Forward to make him a do "monster games" as you mentioned earlier...What are his best attributes that let him do the monster?I need a monster Inside forward...

They both work good, as I said depends how you think your game, what you want from your players and be coherent with team and player instructions.

 

[emman23]

IRL, in real life.

interms of the monster games, if the opponent dont have a LB, or even a crappy one, i exploit the right flank.

dribbling, pace,acceleration, agi, finishing,long shots and all the mental stats. also,if possible, being an aerial threat for crosses to the far post, specifically crosses from deep from my defensive LB

If opponent don't have LB you use Inside forward against them...Would't you rather use a a right winger?The deep cross from LB is really insightful of you...So basically you are telling me that he should be all around player...But that's exactly the problem they come half baked...What are the three crucial attributes that without having them I won't even considering signing an Inside Forward?

When I am considering to sign such a player and I have small funds to work with I need to get the best option available at the market and then change my philosophy and strategy accordingly...I'm not fixed on anything...I ADAPT...

 

[miguelalves]

Well, your philosophy is the base of your game, start defining this and then you can consider the best options available.

Not really because most of my tactics I make are possession based tactics so when my IF cuts inside he mainly passes it to a nearby teammate, who then passes it out wide to the fullback or wherever. It can be a dangerous movement if the rest of your team don't push up in support but as I tend to play a more passing game its not really too dangerous as theres usually an even spread of players across the field.

For sure...But at the same time I adjust my philosophy according to the material I have...I don't come first with the philosophy and forcing my players to adapt to it...Instead I am forcing my philosophy to their strengths and abilities...A great Manager is not the one with a bombastic philosophy but one that uses the right one most suitable for his players...And If I'm signing a new player that could take my team to another level of playing I'm will ADAPT all my team and myself to make them a better squad and the **** with my philosophy...

Alrighty...What about the SWAP...What are the circumstances that would induce such a action in you fertile mind?What would you trying to achieve by it?

 

[LFC Canary]

For me to swap my wingers? It'd depend on what I was trying to achieve. Lets say I've played a winger on one side as an IF and its not really worked out for me for the first hour and im now chasing an equalizer/winner so I'd swap him sides and maybe duty and/or roles just to see if it helps and adapt my team to be of a more attacking nature and ultimately achieve a better result. It all depends on the situation your in, the team your playing against and what you've got at your disposal.
