permanentquandary Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 What is the effect of Move Into Channels for a central attacking midfielder? For strikers I understand it a bit more. One guy holds the ball up and plays it in behind, the other guy moving into channels is dragging defenders away from the centre making more space for the ball to be played in for him. But if my AMC is moving into channels, what does it mean for my strikers? Am I right in thinking I don't want this if I'm playing 2 strikers up top? And does it mean that my AMC is not going to be around to be a playmaker? Is it more for an AMC who is a Shadow Striker or has an attack duty alongside a single STC? I'm having a lot of problems creating chances centrally in my 4312 so this is important! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if you could have the AMC move into the channel (sideways) to drag a holding midfielder (CM or DM) with him? What if that creates space for your striker who drops deep? That forces a defender forward, leaving the other striker 1 on 1 with his marker. There are plenty of ways to set up and that's one. It can be a playmaker or not. It can be a shadow striker or not. That's the beauty of tactics. There is a lot you can create. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
permanentquandary Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 Would it be good in this tactic? Any different for when I use a TM(S)? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadanieLuck Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 @permanentquandary Read again carefully what @HUNT3R wrote. vor einer Stunde schrieb HUNT3R: What if you could have the AMC move into the channel (sideways) to drag a holding midfielder (CM or DM) with him?

You have 2 strikers up front, one as a DLF who likes to drop deep but has he space to do so? Would 'Move Into Channels' for the AMC create that space?

jozza800 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Is 'move into channels' simply lateral movement without the ball? 'Run wide with the ball' is the same just with the ball? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikcheck Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 My interpretation is that move into channels is the space between CB and FB or between CB's. (lateral movement) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauly15 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Does the AMC have a good crossing attribute and the strikers good aerials? That's what I'd be looking at more than tactical affects. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
permanentquandary Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 While I'm here I may as well ask what I need to do to get the best out of my AP in a 4-1-3-2 or 442 Narrow Diamond. Because putting him on attack or support and leaving no PIs doesn't work. In a whole season, I watched every match on comprehensive and never saw my AMC make a short through ball to my strikers once. Not once. My AMCs are definitely good enough to be making those sorts of chances in League 1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
