Pressing Forward has a higher trigger press setting than any other forward in the game. Pressing Forward on support and defend also don't have any hidden instructions which is unique for a forward role and duty. Basically you can't recreate the role by refashioning other roles. Using him as a PF(A) and giving him the player trait (not player instruction) to not move into channels is probably the closest you'll get, but just be aware of the higher mentality associated with an attacking role.

Run your tactic through https://ratemytactic.web.app/en Essentially your set up is good for direct, physical football which is often played in a defensive/counter attacking manner against teams which dominate possession against you. You've got one overlapping partnership which is preferred for a more passing orientated game against smaller sides. I don't think it's a coincidence that you've had better results against bigger teams than smaller ones.

Is anyone else getting this? Just wanted to check before reporting as a bug. When I select my next opponent then under Team Reports -> Analyst Reports, it shows three panels, Formations, Scoring, and Conceding. However when clicking into Scoring and Conceding it doesn't show me where the goals are being scored or conceded, or where the assists are (see screenshot below). In previous FM versions you can use a similar tab to show where your opponent scores and concedes from, but this year it seems bugged? Thanks
