Ok, Ive got Silva in my Arsenal save, hes playing fb currently, but I feel that he misses a lot of shots that he takes, and I think it could be to do with the side that he is playing on. I use the formation showing in the following pic...



Im confused as to which side to play him on. Hes pretty much ineffective with his right foot, but since I play a narrow team width and the AMR/L cut in a lot im thinking he may be sweet as the AMR, would this would result in him getting better shots at goal with his left foot?

With him on the left I find a lot of his shots hit the left of the side netting, which would make sense if he is striking the ball with his left foot.

Anyway comments please Also any tips on my tactic? Im pretty confident in it, havent lost an EPL game in about 45 games.

Oh yeah when I mean tips on the tactic, ignore the players out there as that was just the team I fielded in my last game, not really my first string side.

he plays on the left in the same position as you show there for my Valencian team. Think he has scored 14 in 40 odd starts.

suppose its just hit and miss really. i did play him as a central striker a couple of times as well when Villa was injured and he scored a few then.

This is to do with your formation and not just Silva.
only a suggestions but i would think it would be more beneficial for your team to not have the arrows on fabregas and miguel veloso as fabregas in the centre should be allowed the freedom to create chances which is what hes fantastic talent allows him to do!

Only had him once and he was in the AMC role, where you currently have Aguero.

He was on all-out-attack and free-role. Took him a little while but before long he was a dominating force for me.

Trying keeping Silva in that position, but set it so that he can also swap positions with the amc or amr during the game.

AML is his best position imo.

Cheers guys,

@ Xabi_Pavlidis, I might try that, but the arrow going backwards only affects him on defense dragging him back into a DMC which I think could be the reason for my great defensive records. He still has A LOT of creative freedom and attacking mentality when on offense.
