Ok ever since I started playing FM, I've never liked the idea of playing with a TM. I dont quite like the idea of playing the ball on someones head as I like to play it on the ground mostly (Arsenal fan you see). I started a new game with Arsenal and thought that I'll give playing with a TM a go and see what its like. I've tried it in desperate times before but never been successful. Thing is, I dont really know what settings to have for a TM and how to play with one. So I was wondering if anyone can help me out and give tell me how best to utilise a TM.

Due to Adebayor being ruled out for 5 months, I had to plunge in the market and got Iaquinta into my team. I've always been a fan of his as he's a rare kind who's very strong, great in the air and pretty darned quick too. And he's got very good long range shooting and FK's. Complete package imo. Anyway, I think he's an excellent TM so would like to give it a go with him.

I play 4-1-3-2. Squad:
GK : Lehmann/Lloris
RB : Sagna/Eboue
LB : Clichy/Gallas
CB : Gallas/Toure/Djourou
DM : Flamini
CM : Fabregas/Javi Martinez/Diaby
AMR: Rosicky/Menez
AML: Hleb/Menez/RVP
ST : Iaquinta/Bendtner/Adebayor
ST : RVP/Vela

My FB's are also set on forward runs and crossing often. Rosicky & Hleb mostly have free roles when they play (Menez doesnt).

So can anyone please tell me how to utilise that beast of a man, Iaquinta to the full extent?? Thanks.

If my tm is quick i get him to run onto ball and have all midfielders inc wingers with max through balls and medium crossing for the wingers and none for cm/am/dm.

If he is good in the air you should want him to also have a good touch and good strength.
Then you can play it to feet or head and have the wingers on max for crossing and medium or none for through balls.

I'm sure others will have more in depth views?
