From what I remember messi played on the right whilst eto'o was still at the club and wasnt a first team player at that point. Iniesta was more of a space player and not an actual playmaker so changing his role and adding either ap support or dlp support to xavi would be better. In my opinion you also struggle to achieve possession and control with so many attacking duties at the one time so changing a few might help. Rb - wing back attack Lb- wing back defend Rcb -bpd defend Lcb - cd defend Dm - dm support Rcm - ap support/dlp support Lcm - mezz - support Rw - IF - support Lw - IF - attack St - CF - attack/support That would be my choice if I was playing it

Placing some restrictions and using different skins gives it an unofficial difficulty setting for me. Thanks very much for the link, had a quick browse and thats exactly what I was looking for.

I'm using a skin with the attributes hidden and I'm also not using the player search function so it was just another way to add to the 'realism' that I'm trying to achieve in this save.

Thanks for the reply. I thought that would be the case but I was more wondering if anyone had info or knew the attribute combinations that achieve certain descriptions.

Haven't found anything online that goes into depth about what actually makes media descriptions what they are. I would like to know what it is that makes different descriptions like midfield orchestrator, tireless midfielder, attacking fullback etc Does anyone have any information regarding these either through knowledge on websites that can be linked. Thanks,

Thanks for the advice and apologies for the late reply. I've went with two BPDs and a DLP support and I've added more risky passes but kept the passing as short as possible which seems to do the forward and back passes between defence and midfield to bait the opposition. My main issue is the bluntness in attack, having a striker on a support duty doesn't score enough and when he's on an attack duty it's just long balls over the top to run onto.

Apologies if it came across in that manner. What I meant was your thread tells you how roles interact and the thought process behind it where as other threads normally go this is my system and this is how I play without going into why they do. Yours is very much I do this because of xyz and due to this is makes creating an intricate system that much easier because we know how roles interact and we don't need loads of instructions to make it work that way. There are quite a few peices on Sarri's Napoli out there but the way I see it would be SK- Support RB- Fb support CBs- Cd defend LB- Fb attack Dm- dlp defend/support Rcm- cm support Lcm- mezz support/attack Rw- winger attack Lw- if/iw support St- Higuain Af attack or Mertens Dlf attack/support

Brilliant thread! I like your thought process on how roles and duties interact and how keeping it simple actually makes it a more dynamic system than loads of fancy roles and PI's Whilst reading and looking at your different set ups I couldn't help but wonder how you would set up the old Sarri Napoli system as this seems to go against (in my mind) your thought process. I try to recreate this every year and I only made it work to a certain extent on last year's version. The main positions that would be a 'problem' for me are LB, LCM and LW as these go against your set ups in my opinion and also depending on if you were going for the scorer striker (Higuain) or creative striker (Mertens). If possible I'd like to hear your opinion on how you would set this up and potentially the rest of the roles also?
