Looking for help on how to create the effective Crouch/VDV partnership.

My initial thinking is a TM(s) supported by a SS, with the former 'hold position' using his aerial height he posses to win knockdowns/flicks on's for the on rushing Shadow striker whom would have license to 'roam' & 'move into channels' perhaps?

Forgot to quote post, thats in regards to RTHerringbone's reply.

The players in question are my F9 & CM(a) i have put the latter on 'Roam From Position' I haven't got the game loaded up at the moment does the F9 have 'More Risky Passes' set at default?

or what other role could i play him in, his main role in my side is i am wanting him to drop deep and hold up the ball and link up play, Treq perhaps?

I play with 'More Disciplined' as a tactical instruction yet have a couple of players i want to give more 'creative freedom' to, how do i go about doing that?

[Quickfire Questions and Answers Thread (Tactic and Training Questions Only)]

I have a 4-5-1 formation.. I am after advice on which side of the central midfield to utilize my most attacking midfielder (not wanting him to run into already congested space) currently it is *All players on default player instructions initially:

Left Full Back: FB(s) *PPMS: Dives Into Tackles

Right Full Back: WB(a) *PPMS: Gets Forward Whenever Possible, Plays Short Simple Passes

Left Midfielder: WM(a) *PPMS: Cuts Inside, Places Shots, Runs With Ball Often

Left Central Midfielder: CM(a) *PPMS: Run With Ball Often

Central/Defensive Midfielder: CM(d)/AM *PPMS: N/A

Right Central Midfielder: B2B *PPMS: Dives Into Tackles

Right Midfielder: WM(s) *PPMS: Cuts Inside

Forward: Treq *PPMS: Tries Killer Ball Often, Places Shots, Tries Long Range Passes, Shoots From Distance

Additionally i have a central defender who likes to 'Switch Ball To Other Flank', which side of the central Defence would he be best suited to use his PPM most effectively as possible

The finishing stat really isn't the be all and end all. Personally reckon people get a bit too much hung up on it - 16 goals in 27 games at Tottenham says he's doing alright.

Also, he's playing as a False Nine, he's not exactly leading the line.

I agree in all honesty also to have such stats at 20 years of age he is without a doubt a huge talent, i think you've done a great job nurturing him

"As he approached with those pasty white arms hanging out of his nike vest, his smile told me it was benefit day and I knew my velour tracksuit would be hanging off the lamp shade tonight.""As I stood in line at the Job Centre thinking of reasons I couldn't work, a sweet smell drifted past my pig like nostrils. It was a mixture of weed, B.O and Lynx Africa. I turned around and there was Dwayne. Our eyes met and he was soon lifting me onto the wheelie bins behind the Iceland. He had tied up his Staffy to block the ally way so we wouldn't be disturbed. There was a tramp watching but it just added to the mystery. I knew it was love and my life would never be the same....
