How to get my DM/CM to run with the ball

[Hoffbeck]

I find that my Midfielders very rairly progress the ball up the pitch by dribling. Like we see a not of midfielders do in real life.

 

Instead they are standing still with the ball, and tring to pass their way up the field.

 

Take the example here:

 

 

He recieves the ball and turn. When he has turned around there are load of space in front of him, 

 

Here he can easily run up the field forcing the AI's DM to make a decision to press him or not, which would create space further up the field. Instead he decides to play to Zertemir, which is actually a pass that move the ball closer to the opponent, with no benefits.

 

 

 

CHistensen is playing as a box to box and is asked to drible more. He even have the preferred move og dribbling through the center of the pitch.

 

 

Help ! :P

PI's and Traits, the rest is up to the ME, I'd agree there's slight lack of runs on the ball from DMs/CMs/AMs

Maybe your tempo is too high as well? 

[Hoffbeck]

my tempo is sat to the lowest option and with dribble more tick on

What role do you Christensen playing and Team Mentality?

If he's an Anchor or DM(D) or something, he probably thinks it too risky, if it's a Volante(A) he'd be more likely to make the run

I have played around with diffrent roles and positions, but on that picture he is a roaming playmaker, as that role is the least bad one haha

Yeah, I'd expect an RPM to advance the ball there, he plays his team mate into trouble instead

[Hoffbeck]

yeah seems kind of broken

You could say he's made a bad decision but if it's something you see a lot of then I'd agree it's a ME issue, I've seen it enough myself
