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.
