Stumpy0126 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 @ scott - Ahmed is a Poacher with no work at all... could work as an Advanced Forward with his pace as well, but with his physicals he could be made into a TM with very little work. He'd be fine in the 4-5-1, so long as one of your wingers is an IF... he's not the finished article and needs someone to feed him and play off of. He could work as an AMR as Shiraz states, but only with the IF instruction... his Crossing and Long shots need would need a lot of work which would take away from his first touch and finishing that he needs... Just MHO... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munimentum Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Name: Braian Gomez Position: DC/DM/MC Role: Duty: Other additional instructions: Club: Newcastle Club's formation: 4-1-2-2-1 What do you want from your player: I'm not sure which position would be best for me to play him in. I currently have Shawcross, Smalling and 2 other DC regens above 170 PA for CB (pretty sure they're closer to 180 actually, cant remember off the top of my head) but also 2 other regen possibilities for DM in addition to Tiote and Lars Bender, so I'm not sure where to put him. His final position will just dictate who I end up letting go. I've left Role, Duty and Additional Instructions blank because this is basically the kind of thing I'd like to know (Not even sure how to change role and duty, been looking for the latter for the past 10 minutes and can't see it) For reference: PA is 189 (CA 151) Also any useful combination of PPM's would be helpful. Right now I've started him on a free kick PPM but I've realised I actually have a better free kick taker so that's wasted But I guess he can fill in. Name: Geoffrey Lannoy Position: DM/MC Role: Duty: Other additional instructions: Club: Newcastle Club's formation: 4-1-2-2-1 What do you want from your player: I'm thinking of using him as an MC, as with the above and the third regen as DM's competing for a single DM slot, it would be easier to fit him in as MC. Again, though, I'm wondering what his stats are best for, and again I've left role and duty free as that's what I'd like to know also. His PA is 180 and CA is 103 (lot of development left) PPM's again please. Name: Federico Colantuono Position: DM Role: Duty: Other additional instructions: Club: Newcastle Club's formation: 4-1-2-2-1 What do you want from your player: This one just for any advice/information you can give as he is only really suited role wise for DM I think, unless I'm mistaken. His PA is 178 and CA is 138. Also, PPM's again. Name: Chorao Position: MC Role: Duty: Other additional instructions: Club: Newcastle Club's formation: 4-1-2-2-1 What do you want from your player: For this one I'm training him as an MC, but as his attacking stats are unbelievable I'd like him to be quite attacking. As such I'm wondering which PPM's would help him to do this. I'm assuming long shot related PPM's would be best? (also he is my future star player as his PA is actually 200!!!!!) Basically I think I'm just asking for opinions on the players in general, whether they're worth developing, what positions they're best at etc. Thanks!

You could even try with the Automatic duty. My MCd is Ball Winning Midfielder (Defend) and my AMR and AML are Winger (Support). That's what my midfield is made of.

joe__the__man Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 In a 4-2-3-1 I'd use Gundogan as a deep lying playmaker/support - in that formation I like both my central midfielders to have runs from deep rarely and a lowish mentality. For Gotze I'd say a similar thing, have him as advanced playmaker/support so that he stays deepish and sits in the hole. You could change a few of the specific instructions but for mentality/closing down/passing etc that role is pretty much spot on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe__the__man Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Yeah that's my thinking as well. 9 isn't too low, as long as he's got decent mental attributes like decisions, anticipation and stuff then he'll be fine defensively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterawesome Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Name: Marek Hamsik Position: MC/AMC/AML Role: DLP (Trequarista as AMC; Inside Forward as AML) Duty: Other additional instructions: Club: Tottenham Club's formation: 4-2-3-1 What do you want from your player: Improvement, mostly assists and/or goals Since I bought Hamsik in my first season, and now halfway into my third, he has been a picture of mediocrity. I was hoping you could help me better understand what I can do make his performances stronger as I'm at a loss. Playing alongside a BWM (Sandro or Felliani), I was expecting him to orchestrate my offense and load up on assists as a DLP. Instead, it's a good day if he rates over 7.0. Here are some screen shots of him, the formation he plays in, and his personal instructions. His PPMs are: Moves into Channels, Gets Forward Whenever Possible, Knocks Ball Past Opponent and Cuts Inside. For what it's worth, even though we won the league last season AND he's our team captain, he is constantly finding it hard to motivate himself to play for me. Any info to help unleash this guys real talents would be immense. I don't need to be paying 110,000/week for a rotation player. I'd sell him, but a) he's my captain so I don't want to rock the boat and b) I'm having the same issue with Ytrergard-Jensen. Thus, I assume I'm doing something wrong that's holding him back.

Althaz Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I think DLP is the best role for that position in that formation, but that player is not likely to get good ratings in that position. It is possible, but there's a couple of things I would change (I'm using a tag-team of Gerrard and Joe Allen in that position to excellent effect, for what it's worth). First up I think you'd need to switch Sandro to defend duty, this will both be more solid in defence and it will also leave a bit more space for Hamsik. I also don't like for forward setup, in my opinion your striker should be the Treq, or if it must be your AMC, then the striker should be a DLF-S. This will greatly improve your link-up play, which Hamsik will be more involved in. If you do make your striker the Treq, I've found AP-S for the AMC works very well. This will promote greater team play, which will benefit your whole side, but especially Bale and Hamsik. Of course this advice is useless if the rest of your players don't fit in other duties.

misterawesome Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Thanks for the response, Althaz. I will definitely try Sandro in defend duty. Ultimately, I want to take advantage of Hamsik's immense technical and creative skills. I don't need him to get goals/assists, per se. But I don't see why a player of his talent can't be putting up a 7.0+ rating each match. Are there any issues or improvements with his player instructions? Regarding link-up, is there a post I can be directed to that explains that better? Sigurdsson has been great as a Treq, and Bony as a Poacher, both set to attack. Typically, I assign player roles based on their attirbutes. I'd happily change those individual roles for greater team play, but want to make sure I'm making smart decisions rather than assigning roles that may lead to new problems with individual performances.

I personally think Hamsik is wasted as a DLP. He's an AP if ever I saw one, that said, he's even better higher up the pitch, AMC TQ is his ideal role I'd say. However if you wish to persist with him as a DLP one thing I would definitely do is switch him to the MCl position. Currently he's playing in front of your stopper DC. By playing him in front of your cover DC you will give him more space to operate in; Kaboul is probably pushing up closer to him and therefore compressing the space he has available. I also agree about creating better link up. I'd be tempted to drop Bale to a support role, he will still perform very similarly as with attack but (along with moving Hamsik to MCl) will be more available for the pass, giving Marek more options.

misterawesome Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Thanks edgar555. I know I'm getting good advice if it's coming from a Spurs guy. I did move Hamsik to MCl, APs for my last match, with no real results. Granted, it was an away match at Liverpool (and I play with Sandro as a DM in my away tactic). But I'm going to continue to play with him in this role. I'd move him to an AMC role but Gylfi is so damn good in that role! I did not understand how the CB roles would impact the MC roles, so thanks for explaining that. I'll need to read more about understanding link up play as my understanding of tactics is 100% based on this game and what I've learned over the years. Could Felliani play as a DLP? I know he's a DM by trade, but his attributes (and his current role at Everton) suggest a more dynamic attacking player than "just" a ball winner.

The bolded part is all due to the space being compacted or opened up. FM13 and football in general is about use of space. As stated before the way the stopper was pushing up was compacting and limiting Hamsiks space. I can't see a screenshot of Fellaini right now but off the top of my head I'd say he could do the DLP thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
