Ctrl-Alt-PrintScreen should put the image into your Cut-and-Paste buffer; you can paste it into Paint, PaintShop Pro, or PhotoShop; then save as a file. After that, most people just drop the image into Fileshare or some other free file-sharing or image-sharing site, and link to it.

(I've never done, myself, for FM, so if somebody's got better advice please correct me!)

Moving to the point of the question, though, my wingers used to be very predictable, always taking it to the corner, then whipping in a cross.

I had them on:
Forward arrow to AML/R
Run With Ball Often
Long Shots Rarely
Through Balls Rarely
Cross Often
Cross From Byline
Medium Creative Freedom.

Of course, they were doing exactly what I told them to: run with the ball to the byline, bang in a cross.

When I switched them to:
No Forward Arrow, but Forward Runs Often
Run With Ball Normal
Long Shots Normal
Through Balls Normal
Cross Normal
Cross From Mixed
High Creative Freedom

I suddenly got a tremendous amount of variety in their play. Sometimes they would cross early, sometimes they would cross from the byline, sometimes they would cut in along the byline, sometimes they'd look for an early through ball, sometimes they'd cut inside, and sometimes they'd have a go from 25 yards. They even overlapped inside when the striker drifted wide into channels.

It wasn't a Free Role thing .. but they played so much more creatively, it was really eye-opening.

Of course, when I took it back down to LLM, and gave that kind of freedom to players with poor Creativity and poor Decisions, it was just abysmal.

So, screen shots or no, I'd encourage you to take a critical look at their instructions, and really think through what you're telling them in each - especially to see if you have any contradictory instructions.

OK

forward arrow to AML/R
run with ball often for bentley allmost allways and for gamst mostly (not on poor weather, against good defender)
long shots mixed
through balls often (mostly), since I play direct and fast I want them to try to cut the defence, I drop this if I notice it's going nowhere.
crosses mixed, from mixed
a lot of CF (15-18)

from time to time they get creative and I'm enjoying watchong them. that happens mostly on home games and when morale is high.

I also switch their positions, so I have right footed on left and via versa and it looked exellant a few times. my strikers are not the strongest in the air, but have fair amount of pace.

I noticed that morale/form are very important now. and that's OK with me. also gdm team talks.
so I don't expect my team to be ob 5 game winning streak every 2nd month. and I started the game with no transfers in first window mode.

I have a winger who is perfect to have a free role IMHO. But he hasn't performed better at all, although he loses a bit more stamina each match (maybe he is running more wildy).
