Wingback and default instructions

[desmond91]

Hi everyone,

I would like my wingbacks - in my 3-5-2 tactic - to stay really wide WITHOUT the ball to stretch the opposition shape and then WITH the ball cut inside the pitch.

To translate this instructions on FM, I can easily position him wider with the option Stay Wider but when he has the ball, looking at the instructions, all the roles in the has the active instruction RUN WIDE WITH BALL in opposition to CUT INSIDE WITH BALL (not selectable). So it's not possible to replicate what i would like to do.

Any workaround? Is possible to cancel the default instruction somehow? Or, does the player instruction cut inside with the ball overwrite the role instruction run wide with the ball?

Try using the automatic duty on the wingback player role and check if it's possible then.

You can with a Fullback, give that a try

It's always these little things. SI are way too rigid in how they see things in football, especially roles, that there's very little room for customization with some positions/roles. 

 

I was also about to suggest using a Fullback, but I know that might not be what you're looking for, as you seem to be playing  a back 3 formation.

Try training a cuts inside player trait. It won't cancel out the PI completely though.

I missed the 3-5-2 bit, Team Instructions, maximum Width with IWBs

IWB sit narrow in possession, even with max width

Yeah, but they might still be pretty wide, worth a try, I think it's about as good as you'll get 

[desmond91]

I play a lot the IWBs. In possession they move inside the pitch, becoming a kind of CMs. They don't stay wider and cut into the middle as I wish 

Thanks anyway guys!

As a workaround, you could try playing them a strata up and using the wide midfielder role. Highly customisable, you can add any PI you want.

It's move in the half space

Have you tried left footer on the right with cuts inside trait?

The wide midfielder will help you out on this.

Wide midfielder with stay wider and hold position

Adding "cut inside" will make him try to get into the inside. WATCH OUT, THIS WON'T HAPPEN EVERYTIME(cause no roles will watch only the middle if they see a lot of space wide)
