Advice on using playing 2 adequate upfront together? (aka a big/big combo)

retired_laswell · 01-03-2007, 08:24 PM

Can people please tell me if they think it is a good idea or not, and why?
I initially thought it would not be a great idea, but i'm not sure.
For example, with Wigan, i have Heskey and E. Johnson, both good target men, but both quite different. I wondered what kind of tactics could be employed to use their differences to enable them to play with each other effectively.
Would it be good to use the two target men type players (possibly with side-arrows) and a pacey, accurate striker in the middle, in a 3 man strike force? And if you think it could work, how? and would you advise it over the big/big combo or even the simple big/small combo?

thanks, Rob.

Already threads on this, do a search or look in the unofficial tactics bible.

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