Similar to how I play at Chelsea, on fm24 beta match engine my favourite role in the game is wm(s), what a brilliant role, if you tell a player to hold position and sit narrow like I do, they simply won't do it, it's like a completely spaghetti coded free role that knows no bounds, try it!

Friends, foes, and fragile minds - i return with a gift of a tactical masterclass in the emulation sector, this is the peak of tactical replication on the sigames forum This is xabi's leverkusen vs freiberg which occurred on sunday the 29th of october: disregard haste, within the limitations of the match engine (fm24) we have had to forgo certain TI's which unfortunately now negate around 10% possession in order to create a tactic that yields results i've been reading the posts here, and what i think you all lack is a creative bone, dont limit yourselves to these 'roles' that are on fm, broaden your mind, yes perhaps in real life boniface is a true cf, except he's not, and he's not an advanced forward either, he's boniface and xabi alonso has sliders irl and he can use to tell him what to do in and out of posession, rather than saying today big bon you are going to play CFa, capisce? with the lack of options and (bring back sliders in some manner) by giving us colorful position dummies you have all become attached to roles where infact you need to approach the game differently from this day onwards3 we currently play the best football on the planet, like leverkusen IfPoVDT[1].mp4 with the extreme limitations of the match engine, this is the closest you will get: wirtz = f9, moves into channels. now go and watch a leverkusen game, frimpong defends way higher than wba/cwba, so dw is ideal with gets further forward and crosse from byline, some games he cuts inside, some games he runs wide with it, again, we are limited to only selecting one so i don't select one, because i dont want these limits for the LWB, stay wider take more risks dribble more, now you may say, but grimaldo moves inside to take long shots a lot of the game, no he doesn't he simply does not, he takes long shots from positions he finds himself in during set pieces, and playing the lwb as wba instead of iwba you will still see the boy running inside as long as you once again don't limit the player to running wide with the ball! free your minds from self imposed shackles savio is the wirtz position, he doesn't have comes deep to get ball etc and look where he often finds himself with the ball ala wirtz look at the two midfielders deciding a 1-1 pattern ala xhaka palacios shadow striker on fm is not shadow striker irl, do not be fooled by the names given to you out of posession we look like a back 4 at times, and a back 3 at other times, ala leverkusen this is it, capisce edit: nevermind i give up, impossible atm lets see what me is like on release!

hmm, can you share it? i had a look at the twitter but all i can see is this: which isn't even close to xabis leverkusen

WM(A) has drib more cross byline and stay wider ss has close down more sometimes i add stay wide to wb(s) wcb(a) and wcb(d) both have close down more hold position and the attacking cb has tries risks skd has tackle harder the rest of instructions are default dropped mentality added run at defence for every game now and its looking good

so the first real issue i can see is we don't pass enough so need to think of a fix for this, do suggest the solution but im sure ill find it xabi's leverkusen have the highest passes into final third - same as us at roma could be interesting to experiment with 4atb variant with a wcb in the 2 anyway not now its lovely playing vs 433 with the two 10s either side of the dm...delicious we can see even playing the bwmd and regista basically on top of one another they actually spread nice in posession. issue: the WBs is always too high up so that needs to be looked into, maybe wbs is not ideal for the grimaldo position, iwbs possibly but grimaldo goes wide and with sits narrow built in + faily narrow ti im not convinced - maybe wb(d) would still be useful with counter ti.. alternatively mentality could be dropped to balanced i suppose or even playing him in the rb slot? another issue is starting position of striker both in and out posession in terms of actually replicating boniface movement i want him closer to the 10 on the right side, maybe a mark tighter instruction or position change

i've translated that without a strenuous grip into: playing 2dms wasn't looking correct, so i fixed it with bwmd above the xhaka role, with team instruction runs with ball and maybe some dribble traits he/she will still replicate that palacios tackle/carry role like irl i tried to recreate boniface positioning by playing AF in the st(cr) position but he was drifting waaay too wide and was become this weird auxillary winger at times which was quite ugly to watch so i put it back in the centre and due to match engine limitations it works better there, alas pass into space + run with ball i now use often AMs move into channels + gets forward a la florian edit: my iteration is mirrored because i like spinazzola for the frimpong role
