Ben Hutton Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Which role is best suited to a 4-1-2-3 DM Wide? Currently playing with a target man on attack with 2 wingers, one on support, other on attack. The Target man striker is playing badly and scored a couple but I want to fit my 17 year old wonderkids who’s also homegrown. He doesn’t suit a target man role as he’s not tall. Someone has recommend that a retrain Joe Gelherdt (17 year old) as an IF could that potentially work with Moore (TM) ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carambau Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Target men dont necessarily need to be tall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyburn Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I play this formation. It really depends on the set up of the whole squad but I’ve found an AF, CF and PF have all worked at some point for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Hutton Posted February 20, 2020 Author Share Posted February 20, 2020 Yeah pF is what I’ve had most joy with In fm20 and the striker I want to play long term has got some half decent pf stats. What’s the key stats for a target man to do well? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyburn Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Strength. Holding up the ball. I also value passing and vision to be able to make good use of holding the ball up but it’s not as essential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashidi Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 @Ben Hutton Different permutations give you different effects. A TM can be a focus of attacks, he could be the furthest forward and the first choice for a Winger on attack duty flanking him. You could set up an IW on one flank with a playmaker beside him to act as distributors. IF the TM is on support he can bring others in then you could pair him with a 2xIF attack pair. You could also use an F9 to drop deeper so that he holds the ball up and uses his skill to allow others to swarm up in attack. Now this means that you could be using more support duties with a higher defensive line to create decision dilemmas for defenders. Ultimately, you decide. So what do you have in your team? Do you have players who can offer you choices with different styles. Too often players fixate on the attacking patterns and forget the biggest factor is actually the build-up.

Ben Hutton Posted February 20, 2020 Author Share Posted February 20, 2020 I have quick wingers who are average at best, a decent target man for championship level. A good midfield in terms of winning the ball back but average in terms of creating chances. My back up striker is a decent pressing forward as well as my wonderkids which I’ve not found his best position Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
