Nik_Dut Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Ok, as simple as it, what is the differences between FC and ST ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I think an FC is just a ST that is more capable of playing in a free role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeCFC Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 A FC is a forward who plays in a deeper role and looks to link up play, An example of this is Rooney. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I think an FC is just a ST that is more capable of playing in a free role. Just checked this, it is. A ST with a hidden free role attribute of 15+ will be described as an FC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superowl90 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 and a ST is someone like owen, there to score goals and gauranteed to get them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catenaccio83 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 An FC is a more creative player who comes deeper to get the ball.an ST is a goal scorer or should be even tho i've had a few that can't hit a barn door Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr8kc Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 The difference between wayne rooney and allan shearer. I would say they are both FC. Owen, Andy Cole and Ian Wright would be great examples of Stirkers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NepentheZ Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 FC = van Persie ST = Adebayor FC = Rooney ST = Andy Cole And so on..... like many have stated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

x42bn6 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Just checked this, it is. A ST with a hidden free role attribute of 15+ will be described as an FC. Unfortunately, if you retrain an AM R, ST to AM C, he will automatically become an AM RC, F C, as if he's suddenly gained the ability to do a free role. If I recall, this isn't the case. Consequently, you'll never see AM RC, ST unless the player has the ability to play ST, AM R and M C (not AM C). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
looknohands Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Just checked this, it is. A ST with a hidden free role attribute of 15+ will be described as an FC. Why can't the game give us this kind of information? Simple things like that could greatly increase the playability... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFraser Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Why can't the game give us this kind of information? Simple things like that could greatly increase the playability... Because the free role attribute is hidden as the game is presented in a way that tries to appear natural. They could tell you that an FC is a player with a high free role rating, or you could assume a Forward is someone that is likely to come deep, move around and link up play to great effect.

looknohands Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 For people like me, who hadn't followed soccer/football for over a decade before coming across FM, it would be a great help. For the longest time I thought a FC played in the center three spots on the tactics screen while strikers played on the flanks... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ottey_swe Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Maybe this is slightly offtopic, but I think it's a good question related to this. When i manage for instance Man United, I use the target player (striker like Berbatov) as the deeper lying player with mentality of 10 and creative freedom of 10. He holds up the ball and can link headers to rooney, who is fast and gets a mentality of 15 with high creative freedom. Reading this thread however, it seems to suggest that I should use rooney in the deeper role with the lower mentality, and berbatov as a very high lying striker/target man with higher mentality? which reflects the real life situation the best?

catesy2021 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Depends how you play. Having a target man laying deep to flick on long balls for a quick guy is one way to play. Have a more skillfull striker to lay deep and collect the ball would work better if you play it along the ground. Berbatov could probally do both or at least he could when he was at Spurs (i tend not to watch what our former players do, not that i'm bitter of anything).

Would be nice if some Old Trafford faithful could enlight us? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenArsenal Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Even with FC and ST there are various types. Emile Heskey could fill the provider role well, and he would probably be an FC. Peter Crouch is often the targetman, but he can also use his height to drop back and allow someone more mobile (i.e. Defoe) to push forward. There's no fixed role for FC and ST, and it really all depends on the player's strengths and attributes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
given1legend Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Owen is an FC after his heroics under Keegan. Martins is an ST. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Dean Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 For Football Manager, a FC has a free role (hidden attribute) rating of atleast 15 whereas a ST has a free role rating below 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
