i playing 442 ( with wingers in amr/l positions ) i playing wide 15 , passing both flanks, and i have all players on team mentality - 13, expect two DCs who has 7 on mentality. FBs has fwr to often, but with barrows. My two MCs has FWR to rearly ( but they stil 13 on mentality ) My question is: what with my d-line . It`s should be 13 ( as team mentality ) or 7 ( as my two MCs mentality ) ?

sorry for poor english

cheers

No worries about your English mate. I'm no tatical guru by any means but I'd say go for something in between the team mentality and centre midfield mentality as to not create a too bigger gap.

I might be wrong as I'm only now paying attention to detailed tatics but thats I what I think anyway.

I think jumping should be considered a vital stat for a defender IF he doesn't have really good pace. In my experience you should never ever have a defender with below average jumping and average pace(for the higher division teams ofcourse). Another note I have about this post is about the 3 man defense thingy. I've found it better to have the middle man on high closing down - as opposed to having the ones on the sides on high. This might have something to do with the kind of players i look for in these positions. In the centre i focus HEAVILY on jumping, while on the sides i want more pace.

It's no use having a squad full of star players without a decent way for them to play their football.
