[[England Premier Division] Data Issues]

Hello there.

I saw that Christian Pulisic natural positions are RW and RM. I know he's a versatile player and can play there as well, however, he thrives playing as a LW and therefore I believe it's his natural position. He played as an RW only three times in last season, too.

Futhermore, the only natural LW in Chelsea is CHO and I truly believe it should be changed.

B2B are set to roam and arrive late in the box. 

CM(s) are pretty much a blank slate to work with. I'm admittedly not entirely sure how they behave without any PIs. 

I'm not sure about that. It would mean CM (s) could behave as a B2B if you give him roam from position and I suppose it's not the case.

I tried to find it, but it was nowhere to be seen, so I've got quick question. What's the difference between CM (s) and B2B? It seems they both do actually very similar and I really don't get how they behave.

Same here. Role doesn't really matter here, it just happens. And it cause a lot of problems for the formation discipline. Hope it's a bug that could be fixed.   

[Developing my 4-4-2]

Unfortunately I've got some offensive issues recently, but it's start of the 7th season, so I can understand that AI knows my playing style. And the combo of AF + Trequarista doesn't work so smoothly in my team, so I need to tweak some things. F9 + AF wasn't a solution too.

On the roles - Carillero was very useful when I was outnumbered in midfield by the best teams, and I paired him with DLP (D), but I'd rather have BBM and BWM. Inverted wingers did some wonders too. Mezzala is far too offensive in 4-4-2 I'm afraid.

 

But I'm not surprised it's one of your favourites tactics, never seen my team so solid overally. Thanks for the response.

[Developing my 4-4-2]

@herne79 I'd like to ask what would you change in your Thames Ironworks tactic having these new roles, like inverted winger, mezzala or carillero or would you rather stay with the roles you gave.

I've modified some things on my own and that helped me in creating a monsterous team, but I'm quite curious what's your opinion here.

From the start of the game I wanted to achive a certian style of football. To simplify, my aim in tactic was to creat a bit of Simeone and Ancelotti at the same time in 4-4-2. Narrow and aggressive in defense, "pass and move" with the ball. As I really do care about balance, I tried to play flexible and standard. Well, now I'm here struggling to score goals and even defend.

I wrote down three questions I wanted to ask, because I'm stil concerned about these tactical changes.

1. Is it right to play 2 wide playmakers on attack duty? Or maybe it will make my team too narrow and toothless in final third?

2. I'm quite sure about it, but just need a confirmation. Using WP"s and Roaming playmaker (or any duty with "playmaker" line) will make team too much posession orientated and furthemore, I believe the will double in some places at the pitch?

3. So as I understand, playing narrow or wide is now more about positioning. And if I want my team to attack down the middle, it comes natural to me to play wider, but exploiting the middle? But doesn't making whole team posistions wider expose my aim to defend narrow? Or maybe I'm getting it wrong and it ought to be narrow and expolit the flanks, as I will be tight in defense and try to play wider offensively?

Thanks in advance for all answers!
