millsy1982 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I was looking around trying to see how others play certain players and did not see much, so I thought I'd start off a thread where you can add how you managed to get the best out of a certain player. Lets try and keep to this format: Name: Club: Position: Role: Mentality: Other Instructions: I'll start off then: Name: Chris Taylor Club: Oldham Athletic Position: AMR/L Role: Winger Mentality: Attack Other Instructions: Hug Touchline, Crossing Mixed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

millsy1982 Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 Should be in T&T though imo It's player specific. The idea is if you don't know how to play a certain player (say Ronaldo) you can look on here and see how others play him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
-TonyVain- Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Good idea. Maybe it could also be used as a help thread? Like if you have a certain player but don't know how to play him, come here and ask for advice. eg. Jon Smith asks : I can't get Pirlo to perform for my Milan side, currently playing him as a Central Midfielder in a Support role. How should I be playing him to get the best out of him?? Dave Davis replies : I think his abilities best suit playing him as a Defensive Midfielder in a Deep Lying Playmaker role. Might be helpful?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

millsy1982 Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 Name: Carlos Tevez Club: Manchester City Position: FC Role: Defensive Forward Mentality: Depends - If you are playing against a team with a deep lying playmaker or DM then support. If not Attack Other Instructions: None I've had great success playing Tevez this way. Quite often the goals he scores are so simple, intercepting backpasses or taking the ball of defenders. His high workrate and determination means he will not stop chasing and closing down your opponents defence and forcing them into long ball tactics or errors.

millsy1982 Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 Name: Craig Bellamy Club: Manchester City Position: FC Role: Target Man Mentality: Attack Other Instructions: On team instructions, set play Bellamy as your primary Target Man and put the Target Man supply to, Run On To Ball. Using Bellamy in this role as an impact sub, has so far rewarded me with a return of 13 goals in 7 starts and 9 sub appearences. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

davehanson Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 If i am honest all i want from him is goals . I don't think it is a good idea to have any lone striker set on an attack mentality, it isolates him too much from the rest of the team. I would set him as a complete forward ona support mentality. I use David Villa as this in my attacking tactic and he has 11 league goals in 10 apperances so far this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

redstar12 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 This is following the Sporting Lisbon save I just finished. Name: Simon Vukcevic Club: Sporting Position: AM L/C Role: Attacking Midfielder Mentality: Attacking Other Instructions: Much creative freedom, longshots sometimes, run with ball often. Will dominate between midfield and attack. Name: Joao Moutinho Club: Sporting Position: MC Role: Box to Box midfielder Mentality: Normal Other Instructions: Set his closing down to high, passes to mixed, longshots to sometimes. He may not have the best stats, but this guy is money. If you need a goal, he will score it. The Gerrard of Sporting. Name: Miguel Veloso Club: Sporting Position: D / M C Role: Deep Lying Playmaker Mentality: Standard Other Instructions: Tackling aggressive, closing down always, through balls often, passing mixed. One of my all time favourite players, great passing, ensures you control the game from midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

millsy1982 Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 If you want to change someone RWB option do you have to switch back to the classic way or can you do it using the creator? Not that I'm overly bothered, but the question is probably more suited for the Tactics Forum. The idea of this thread is to discuss how players play in certain roles with certain mentalities. To answer your question though: As far as I can tell, if upon creating your tactic a player hasn't got the desired RWB that you want, you have to manually change it using the ADVANCED button on that players instructions. Hope that helps! Back on topic, Although I'm doing very well with Man City at the moment I can't seem to get Adebayor to play well at all. I've only got the 3 strikers at the moment (Santa Cruz is injured) and Tevez is my first choice, usually with Adebayor, but I can't get him playing well at all. Bellamy plays very well with Tevez but I know if I could get Adebayor playing well he would be a lot more dangerous. I'm conviced that I've got Tevez playing well as a defensive forward (see earlier post) and I've tried Adebayor as a supporting & attacking Target Man and also as an attacking complete forward. So far I've had very little in return from him. He very rarely plays over a 7 and has only scored 2 goals so far. Any ideas people? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put him as the team's playmaker and allow him to roam from position. Defoe would probably do very well as a poacher besides a big targetman like Crouch or Pavlyuchenko.

millsy1982 Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 Name: Cristian Zapata Club: Manchester City (bought him from Udinese) Position: Central Defender Role: Central Defender Mentality: Stopper Other Instructions: N/A When it comes to attacking the ball, this guy is your man. Play him alongside a pacey, intelligent Centre Half with a cover mentality and watch him mop up anything that comes in the air. He'll dominate all day and on the very rare occasion he does miss a header, your pacey centre half will mop up no problem. So far for me has an average of 7.56 in 18 games and is my 2nd highest rated player. Just checked his actual stats and he wins 97% of all of his headers and most of the missed one's have come in the oppositions area from corners.
