I'll have a look through these later on Dayle and give and feedback I can. Have you ever used a playmaking AMC as a DMC? If you not too fussed about the defensive aspects and what him as a starting point for attacks its a good idea.

retired_slayerbing

Thanks mate. Theres no hurry. Just whenever you get around to it.

Cleon - in regards to AMC in DMC position - it would have to be someone like Lucas right? Someone who can play a duel position? You would'nt put Ronaldinho or Kaka there surely!

retired_elpata

I play people out of position a lot, aslong as they have good stats for that position. I also retrain to that position while they are playing there and I find the results very good in some cases. Id be tempted to give it Kaka and see how he does as his stats are not that different from Pirlo's in all honesty.

retired_slayerbing

well it's food for thought.

retired_elpata

Can't hurt to try. It doesn't always work obviously but it can do. If I didn't want my DMC to break up play muh its something I would try and implement if I could due to the vast amounts of AMC's Brazil as available.

I just thought the purpose of a 4-2-2-2 amd having 2 DMC's in front of the defence was that it acts like a 4 person box and the full backs meanwhile go raiding up the wings.

An AMC as DMC would be counter-productive to that wouldn't it?

retired_elpata

Aye it would be.

So if your going to give your fullbacks license to roam the wings and attack you want the DMC's to be very static interms of attack play. If not sides who play counter attacking will catch your DMC's out of position.

retired_slayerbing

So the DMCs would have similar instructions to the centrebacks in that case.

This is what id use as a base Dayle.

Mentality - 6
Creative freedom - Norm
passing style - mixed
closing down - Often
tackling - normal (hard maybe?)

forward runs - rarely
run with ball - rarely
long shots - rarely (unless they are good then mixed)
through balls - mixed
cross ball - mixed

cross from - mixed
cross aim - mixed
swap position - none
marking - zonal
tight marking - maybe
free role - no
hold up ball -

Id set both up same except have 1 on a diff mentality by 2 notches. Id have 1 set to tackle hard if he's got the stats for it and maybe just maybe 1 of them hold the ball up. Unless you want quick breaks then this is pointless.

Have you ever used swap positions before? It might be worth testing it with the 2 AMC's. I've only used it ons trikers and wingers so unsure how it would work and how effective it would be. But the times I have used it, its added another dimension to me.
