0:00FM 26 mobile tactics explained. We are
0:03going to be explaining everything about
0:05tactics. Either you're a noob, someone
0:06knows who knows about football but not
0:08really about the tactic side, well, this
0:10is the right place for you. And also,
0:12we're going to be explaining a lot about
0:14football in general. Some basic things
0:16you might know or some things you might
0:18not know.
0:19YES!
0:20YES! YES! SO, STAY tuned as we uncover
0:24everything you need to know in this
0:26video about football tactics.
0:28Football tactics, the complete guide.
0:30You have the formations, the player
0:31roles, the midfield, the defense, the
0:33attack, the set pieces, the press
0:35counter, the space sense, wide, compact,
0:38press and counter. Altogether, we have
0:40nine key points to talk about. First of
0:43all,
0:44why tactics exist.
0:46Well, football is about creating
0:48chances. And when you have a tactic, you
0:50can create more chances, you can defend
0:53better, you can control possession, you
0:55can exploit weak spaces in your
0:57opponent's um
0:59your opponent's tactic, I guess, and
1:02stop opposition strengths. So, for
1:05example, here in FM 26 mobile, we come
1:07to view report. When you come to view
1:08report here, we are facing Corona. Our
1:11assistant manager has given us a view
1:13report. When you come to the report
1:15here, we can see what of type of
1:17formation they are going to be rocking.
1:19We can see their strengths. We can see
1:21their weaknesses. With this information,
1:23we can basically adjust our tactic to
1:26kind of benefit benefit us in this game,
1:29which is really, really important. As
1:31you can see, you can see the stats. You
1:33can see your match preparation and stuff
1:35like that, which is really, really
1:36important. This is an underrated screen
1:38that a lot of people don't use and I
1:40encourage a lot of people to actually
1:42use it because it's very, very
1:43beneficial.
1:45Next, we have what is a tactic?
1:48A tactic is basically how a team plays.
1:51It's the player positioning, the team
1:53shape, the pressing, the width, the
1:55tempo, the movement, the
1:57defensive line, the transitions, all of
1:59that. We all know that and that is what
2:01the tactic is about. This is a tactic
2:03that I am using in Valencia. In the
2:05first season, we finished I think fifth,
2:08so we have Europa League and currently
2:10we are doing very, very good in the
2:12league with this tactic. This tactic
2:13gets the best out of our players. It
2:16plays to our player strengths and also
2:18it's very good to kind of switch it up
2:23when I see the view report of our
2:25opponent's weaknesses.
2:28Next, we have formations. Everybody
2:30knows about formations, but this is one
2:33of the most popular formations out
2:34there. It might be the most popular
2:35formation of all time, the 4-3-3
2:38formation. As you can see, this is a
2:39very, very good, solid, balanced
2:41formation. We have team style on
2:43balance, team instructions short
2:45passing, play out from the back, press
2:47after possession loss, wide play, walk
2:49into the box, counter when possible. The
2:51strengths are the pace, the wing play,
2:53the counterattacks, the maintain shape,
2:56avoid player loss, and exploit spaces.
2:58Key to success, quick transitions, play
3:01press as a unit, and create overloads.
3:04If Real Madrid used this tactic in real
3:06life, they would be in a better place. I
3:08promise you, if I was a manager of Real
3:10Madrid, I would be doing
3:11I would be doing something better.
3:13Because the key to success it says quick
3:15transition, press as a unit, create
3:17overloads. Basically, we are just
3:19talking about PSG. This is basically
3:21PSG. Forget about Real Madrid. This is
3:23basically PSG. So, that is what for a
3:27formation looks like. You always want to
3:29have your formation to be balanced so
3:31that your players can play as a unit
3:33because when you play as a unit,
3:36you get the best out of everyone and you
3:37get the best results. If you play
3:39individually, we all know what's
3:41happening to Real Madrid and as a Madrid
3:43fan, it hurts, but that is the reality.
3:45In FM 26 mobile, there are a lot of
3:47tactics. As you can see, the four at the
3:49back there are a lot, the three at the
3:50back there are a lot, and the five the
3:52back there, I love. Me, personally, for
3:54all of these categories, there are two
3:56tactics or one that I usually like to
3:57rock the most. With the three at the
3:59back, this is the one that I would like
4:01that I would likely play. When it comes
4:03to the four at the back there, I love
4:05that you can play, but I usually go to a
4:074-2-4, a 4-2-3-1 with a DM, or a
4:124-2-3-1. These are the best tactics. As
4:14you can see, there are no negatives in
4:16these tactics for my squad. So, these
4:18tactics will fit my squad absolutely
4:21perfectly, and these tactics are very,
4:23very balanced. When it comes to the five
4:24at the back,
4:26the
4:275-3-2.
4:29This is one that I am likely to play. I
4:31usually play a four at the back or a
4:32three at the back, not usually five at
4:34the back, but occasionally, if I'm using
4:36a small team and I want to use a five at
4:38the back, that is the formation I am
4:39going to be using. Next, we have player
4:42roles. There is a lot on this screen,
4:44but I'm just going to go through it
4:45very, very quickly. We have goalkeeper,
4:47protect the goal, command the area,
4:49distribute the ball, start attacks.
4:52Somebody who's very good at this is
4:54Alisson. Defenders, we have the full
4:57backs, defend the flank, support
4:58attacks, overlap and cross, track back.
5:00Great examples, Nuno Mendes, Hakimi.
5:03Center back, defend the center, win
5:05duels in the air, read the game, play
5:07out from the back. Same thing as Gabriel
5:10and Saliba. That also goes for the
5:11sweeper and the libero role. For the
5:13wingers, we have stay wide, take on
5:15defenders, deliver crosses, cut inside
5:17and shoot. Now, a great example of that
5:19would be Vinícius Júnior. I'm not going
5:21to be mentioning any Manchester City
5:23wingers because we all know what they
5:24do. They take the ball down the wing and
5:25they pass it back. We are not doing
5:27that. Another great example is Mitoma. I
5:30mean, Jérémy Doku. You can kind of say
5:32he fits this role or give him the credit
5:34for that. We have the striker, score
5:36goals, attack the space, hold up play,
5:38finish the chances.
5:40Then, you have a second striker, in case
5:42you're playing a shadow striker. But,
5:44for the midfield, you have the defensive
5:45midfielder, they shield the defense, win
5:48possession,
5:49um simple distribution, the Caicedo, the
5:51Casemiros. The center midfielder control
5:54the game, pass and move, support the
5:56defense. We have the Vitinhas and the
5:58João Neves. Attacking midfielder create
6:00chances,
6:01play killer passes, arrive in the box,
6:03Florian Wirtz, Jamal Musiala. The key to
6:08success, play your role, know your
6:11team's
6:12know your teammates,
6:14communicate, work for the team.
6:16Attacking principles, create width,
6:18penetrate lines, support the ball,
6:19finish the chances.
6:21Very, very simple. Play your players in
6:24their right role. When it comes to FM 26
6:27Mobile, you want your players to play in
6:29their preferred roles because that is
6:31their natural positions, that is the
6:32positions they have learned, that is the
6:34positions they have the most strength
6:36in. Someone like Matheus Cunha.
6:40As you can see here down here, it says
6:41shadow striker. I am playing him in the
6:43shadow striker role. Let's look at his
6:45stats real quick.
6:46Stats real quick.
6:48Two games played, two goals, one assist,
6:50eight rating. Absolutely perfect. Same
6:53thing goes for Mateta, target forward.
6:55What role is he playing? Target forward.
6:57You can see what is happening. Adam
6:59Wharton, same thing, deep lying
7:00playmaker.
7:02Same thing is happening. So, you know
7:03what to do. Play your players in their
7:05right preferred roles. Try to adjust
7:07your tactics to fit your players. Don't
7:09always try to make your players to
7:11adjust to fit your tactic. We have seen
7:13that in Real Madrid. Play to the
7:14strengths of the players. Something that
7:16Michael Carrick is doing in Manchester
7:18United. Defend and attack. This screen
7:21has a lot, so I'm not going to be
7:22reading any everything in this screen,
7:24but you can pause and read whatever you
7:26want to read. But, this is a summarized
7:29version of what I took out from here.
7:32Every tactic sacrifice something. More
7:35attack usually means more goals, more
7:37risk defensively.
7:39We know that that is Barcelona. They
7:41prefer to score goals than defend. They
7:43are playing that high line ball. More
7:45defense usually means safer defending,
7:47less attacking threat. Getafe, we all
7:50know what they do there.
7:52Kind of Arsenal
7:54sometimes you can kind of see that. For
7:57example, ultra ultra attacking, we have
8:00Barcelona. They play a high line, many
8:02runs, heavy pressing. The weakness is
8:05huge spaces huge spaces behind. As we
8:08can see that Atletico Madrid took
8:09advantage of that. Last season, Inter
8:12Milan took advantage of that.
8:14But defensively, we have a compact
8:15shape, deep line, hard to break down.
8:17Atletico.
8:19The weakness is less chances created. As
8:21you can see, Getafe Getafe are about to
8:23make you are about to go to Europe.
8:27But
8:28they have one of the wildest stats. Just
8:30go and search up Getafe. I think they
8:32have scored one goal in every game and
8:35not conceded I don't know, but it was a
8:38crazy stat that was just wild. Search up
8:41Getafe for that. But defense and attack
8:43is pretty it's pretty simple. Either you
8:47prioritize one of them. For defense and
8:49attack in FM 26 mobile, right now I am
8:52prioritizing attack. As you can see,
8:54our defense looks balanced, but it's not
8:56actually balanced because we have a wing
8:58back, which means when he when we are in
9:00possession, he pushes up the pitch. That
9:03means that we are left with three
9:04players at the back. Beraldo,
9:08Gassio, I'm not even going to pronounce
9:09his name. Gassio and Oscar Mingueza.
9:12Three players at the back. So, we are
9:14prioritizing attack more than defense.
9:17If I was to play him as a normal full
9:19back, okay, you can kind of see the
9:20formation is balanced, but you get the
9:22point of what I'm trying to say.
9:24Next, we have set pieces. Everybody
9:27knows what set pieces are. We have
9:28corners, we have throw-ins, we have
9:30penalties, we have free kicks, goal
9:33kicks, long throws. These are all set
9:35pieces and they are very very crucial.
9:38We have seen how important
9:40set pieces can and
9:43a team
9:44that took advantage of the set pieces
9:46might actually win a trophy in Arsenal.
9:49We have corners. We have attacking
9:51corners. We have defending corners. We
9:53have
9:54throw-ins attacking, defending. You have
9:56penalties, taking penalties, and saving
9:58penalties.
9:59One thing I'm going to say about
10:00penalties is
10:02for goalkeepers who save penalties, a
10:04lot from my experience, they tend to
10:06have a high commanding presence, and I'm
10:10going to be showing you guys in a few
10:11seconds in FM 26 Mobile. We have
10:13throw-long throws. We have seen this in
10:16the Premier League. A lot of teams like
10:17Bournemouth, they take advantage of the
10:19long throws, get the ball inside, and
10:22another
10:24example of long throws was if you watch
10:26the Saudi League, Al-Hilal versus
10:28Al-Nassr,
10:29Al-Hilal took advantage of the long
10:31throw and actually scored a goal in the
10:33last minute to draw the game versus
10:35Al-Nassr. When it comes to set pieces in
10:38FM, this is what I'm rocking for my set
10:40pieces. When it comes to set pieces, you
10:42come to attack. Um we come here.
10:45Right now for distribution, we have
10:48penalty spot. Right now, my best corner
10:51taker, when he gets the ball in the
10:52corner, what does he do? He kicks the
10:54ball into the penalty spot. I do that
10:57because I have a very, very good header
10:58in Mateta. He wins a lot of balls in the
11:01penalty spot, and one of his goals this
11:03season was actually from a corner.
11:05Same thing goes for the other side.
11:08Same thing to the penalty spot. When it
11:10comes to the free kicks, I usually do
11:12shoot and shoot. These are distances
11:14where if you have a very good free kick
11:16taker, he should be it should be a
11:19guaranteed goal.
11:20I'm telling you. These spots are a
11:23guaranteed goal. If they don't score,
11:25you might want to change your free kick
11:27taker. Usually, strikers usually score
11:29from this position.
11:30But for the rest, I kind of keep it
11:32balanced, you know? The default is
11:34pretty good. Sometimes give the short um
11:38the short passes, sometimes the long
11:40passes. You can do default for the rest,
11:42but for the free kicks and the corners,
11:44those are the ones that are really,
11:46really effective for me, and I'll advise
11:48you to use them.
11:50Next, we have press and counter. There
11:53is a lot on the screen, so if you want
11:54to pause it, you can pause, but
11:57but we can actually read from the
11:58screen. Press, a coordinated team effort
12:01to win the ball back as high up the
12:03pitch as possible. Objectives, win the
12:06ball in dangerous area, prevent the
12:07opponent from building, force mistakes,
12:10keep the opponent in pressure.
12:12For the counter, quick transition from
12:15defense to attack, exploiting the space
12:16behind the opponent. Ob- Objectives,
12:20exploit space behind the defense, attack
12:22with speed and numbers, create
12:24high-quality chances, score before the
12:27opponent recovers. What is the perfect
12:29example of this? Liverpool. Liverpool
12:32under Jürgen Klopp is probably one of
12:34the best teams I have ever witnessed
12:36play football, and
12:38I am a Manchester United fan, so that is
12:40becau- it say a lot when it comes to me.
12:43And unfortunately, Pep was so good that
12:45Jürgen Klopp didn't win much, but
12:47for the press and the counter, that was
12:50pure mm
12:52Liverpool football.
12:53But there are teams that um
12:56when you kind of think about There are
12:57some teams that either have one of
12:59these.
13:00Teams that have one of these are
13:01actually good, but Liverpool had both,
13:03so they were actually good. For the
13:04press, we can see PSG. We all know the
13:06PSG press is one of the most dangerous
13:09presses in the world. You see those eyes
13:10on Dembélé, you just know you're cooked.
13:13PSG kind of do the press and the
13:14counter, they don't really do much on
13:15that. For the counter, you want to look
13:17at teams that are great in counter, you
13:19look at Real Madrid.
13:20Real Madrid are known for counters ever
13:23since the time of Ronaldo. He has been
13:25counters till today, he's still counter
13:28and I think that is what they should be
13:30prioritizing on.
13:32But there are a lot to look on here. A
13:34lot of great things that you can take
13:35from this image. So, pause and look at
13:38it.
13:39When it comes to press and counter in FM
13:412020 mobile, it's kind of simple.
13:44I always recommend if you want to play
13:45counter, I usually play two full backs.
13:48I mean two wing backs. You can play one
13:50wing back, but I like playing two wing
13:52backs. Then when it comes to team
13:55mentality, of course if you're playing
13:56the counter, the team mentality to be on
13:59counter. And if you're also playing
14:00counter, the passing tempo should be on
14:02fast and creative freedom can be on
14:04discipline or expressive. Either one of
14:06them is going to work. For the press
14:08however, for the press I like either you
14:11play a high line to gain back the ball
14:13quickly, but it kind of leaves spaces in
14:15your defense which your opponent can
14:17catch you on the counter. So, I usually
14:18play a defensive line and a closing down
14:21on all over. This is the best press you
14:24can get in the game.
14:25And it's very, very good because if you
14:27win the ball from this press, the
14:29counter is going to be absolutely smooth
14:30because we have two wing backs down
14:32there.
14:33For the attack,
14:35um passing focus, you can do both flanks
14:37for counters. It doesn't really matter
14:39much, but
14:40um passing style for counters, I usually
14:43like to play direct. You can play mixed
14:45only if you have a very, very good
14:46squad, but if your team is pretty
14:48average, just do direct so that we get
14:51the ball there easily. And also for the
14:53final third for the counters, you do
14:55through balls and you can do um shoot on
14:58sight. That is very, very great for
15:00counters, so try it out. Let me know
15:02what I think about it. Next, we have
15:04space sense.
15:06Space sense is the ability to see,
15:09understand, and use space before it
15:12opens up. It's about awareness,
15:14positioning, movement, and timing. That
15:17is why you always see players like
15:18Erling Haaland make those quick runs
15:21because they trying to open space like
15:24once a striker makes a run, a defender's
15:27natural instinct is to follow that
15:29striker and that leaves open space for
15:32an attacking midfielder like Bruno
15:34Fernandes to easily slot that ball in
15:36and if you have an inside forward that
15:38inverts in like Bryan Mbeumo, it's an
15:41easy goal. So, that is the easiest
15:42explanation of space sense. There are a
15:45lot of things here that you can take
15:47from this image like awareness,
15:48observation, positioning,
15:53in it's very, very important. Probably
15:56one of the most important attacking
15:59aspect aspect is space sense. As you can
16:02see here, create space, move the
16:04opponent, stretch the field, distributes
16:07distribute
16:08disrupts space, then use the space, play
16:11forward, play wide, play through,
16:13defense the space, deny space, protect
16:16the dangerous areas. How to improve
16:18space sense? Scan constantly. Someone
16:21who scan constantly is Joshua Kimmich
16:24and Pedri and those are some of the most
16:26effective midfielders we know. Watch
16:29more games, learn from the best, go
16:31watch Pep Guardiola, train small-sided
16:33games, you know what we're talking
16:34about, play with intelligence, not
16:36intensity, play smart, not hard and as
16:39we can see that was someone like Luka
16:41Modrić at his age, he's still doing
16:43crazy because he plays smart, not hard.
16:45Communicate with your teammates. As we
16:47see that when Modrić Kroos and Casemiro,
16:51they all communicated with each other.
16:52Same thing with Xavi, Iniesta and
16:53Busquets, they all communicated and also
16:56practice game-like situations. Very,
16:59very important. So, now let us go into
17:01the FM version of it. When you come into
17:04FM
17:06creating space is actually easy because
17:08when you overload let's come to the team
17:11shape. When you overload it creates more
17:14space in the sense that once you
17:17overload, the opponent feels the
17:18pressure, so they can press you because
17:21you are already overloading them. So,
17:23that kind of creates spaces in between
17:26their defense. Or sometimes when the
17:28opponent is playing a high line, there
17:30are a lot of spaces in their defense as
17:32we can see that with Barcelona. One
17:35singular pass can split Barcelona in
17:37half. And a very good way to have space
17:40in FM 26 Mobile is by playing a width on
17:43high. Playing a wide width is very, very
17:47good, but I recommend this only if you
17:48have great players who can take
17:49advantage of this. If you have Bukayo
17:51Saka, the Vinicius Junior, or just say a
17:53winger with great pace and dribbling,
17:56and you play your width on wide, that
17:59will create a lot of spaces because you
18:00are stretching the opponent. When you
18:02stretch the opponent, there are spaces
18:04in between their formation and their
18:06tactics, which you can easily capitalize
18:08from it.
18:09For the next, we have width and
18:11compactness. There's a lot on the
18:13screen, but I'm going to summarize in
18:15easier version. For the width, wide
18:17tactics, stretch defense, use wingers,
18:19create crossing chances. Weaknesses,
18:22midfield gaps, and that is exactly what
18:25we're talking about because once your
18:27width is wider,
18:28it creates kind of creates space for
18:31your opponent, too, because they are
18:32trying to man mark your players, but at
18:35the same time, it also creates a lot of
18:36space for you, too. So, your opponent
18:38can kind of catch you on the counter
18:39attack.
18:40Compact tactics.
18:42Compact tactics, which is basically
18:44narrow. Keeps players together, better
18:48passing triangles, and harder to break.
18:50Perfect example of this is Manchester
18:53City and Barcelona. The more compact you
18:56are, your players are close to each
18:57other, so they can easily keep
18:59possession more. But, the weakness is
19:03less width, so less chances created, but
19:05at the same time, you're pretty narrow,
19:07you can easily get through an opponent's
19:09midfield. Now, we have how to create
19:11width, wide positioning, hold the width,
19:13switch play, wide runs, isolate, how to
19:16stay compact, short distances,
19:18horizontal compactness, vertical
19:20compactness, shift together, protect
19:22their center. You can kind of read,
19:24pause, and read it. Very, very important
19:26information.
19:27When you're in FM26 Mobile,
19:30you want to play a narrow
19:32width. These are the best instructions
19:34to play a narrow width. When you play a
19:36narrow width, what I will say is always
19:38play your attacking midfielder as an
19:41advanced playmaker. You can kind of have
19:43like
19:44either
19:46an advanced playmaker again, then have
19:48like a box-to-box midfielder, or
19:51a roaming playmaker.
19:53Then have a normal center midfielder.
19:56Then switch him to an attacking
19:58midfielder. When you come to the shape,
20:00obviously you're a narrow. Your passing
20:02tempo kind should either be on slow or
20:05fast. I prefer fast. Creative freedom on
20:07discipline. When you come to the
20:09defense, you leave everything.
20:11When you come to the final third,
20:12passing style on short, that is the most
20:14effective. When you're playing a narrow,
20:16your players are close to each other.
20:18And when the shape creative freedom is
20:21on discipline, those players stay close
20:24to each other. And how do you get the
20:26best out of that? Short passing. You
20:28don't want to play long passes.
20:30And start stretching the ball out of the
20:32pitch. No, your players are close to
20:33each other. Give those one-two passes.
20:36You can either do it on short or direct.
20:38Either of them is very, very important.
20:40Maybe you're playing something like a
20:42wide width. When it comes to the wide
20:44width, you can do your passing tempo on
20:46kind of normal. Creative freedom on
20:48balance. When you come to your attack,
20:50this where it changes. When you're
20:51playing a wide width,
20:52do your passing on long. Very, very
20:55important. Do your passing on long. And
20:57that will help you
20:59in numerous ways. Finally, we have the
21:02last midfield roles.
21:05Midfield roles are very, very, very
21:08important. The midfield is the heart
21:10Midfield is the heart of football. It is
21:13the heart of the team. If you lose
21:14midfield, you lose possession, you lose
21:17control, your defense gets exposed. So,
21:19having a strong midfield can absolutely
21:22change your team. And a strong mid-
21:24strong midfield controls tempo, passing,
21:28pressing, space, possession.
21:31The most important part of the
21:33football pitch of the football team is
21:36the midfield. Most winning tactics have
21:39balanced midfields, as we can see that
21:40with Luis Enrique's PSG. For example,
21:43you have one defensive midfielder, one
21:45creative midfielder, and one runner.
21:47That is exactly what you have in PSG.
21:50But, PSG have like two runners because
21:52um João Neves is an absolutely freak of
21:55[snorts] nature.
21:57But, yeah, this is what the midfield
21:59roles look like. You have the defensive
22:00midfielder, the holding, the center
22:02attacking midfielder, the box-to-box
22:04man, center attacking midfielder, a
22:05playmaker, or you can play an attacking
22:07midfielder. Why are the midfielders key?
22:10Controls the game, connects everyone,
22:12wins the battle, creates the stand- the
22:14chances. As you can see successful
22:16midfielders down here, you have the
22:17Rodri, the Bellingham, the Modrić, the
22:19KDB. Very, very good players. When you
22:22want to buy a midfielder, you want to
22:23focus on these attributes.
22:25Key attributes: vision, passing,
22:27stamina, tackling, composure, decisions,
22:30and creativity.
22:32You have those aspects in the player.
22:36Lord have mercy.
22:38All of these players down here have one
22:40of these, and they are very, very good
22:41at it.
22:42How they work together balances the key.
22:45Cover each other, communicate, stay
22:47compact, think as one unit. Great
22:50example, Vitinha, João Neves, Fabián
22:53Ruiz, Casemiro, Modrić, Toni Kroos,
22:57Busquets, Iniesta,
22:59Xavi,
23:01Manchester City, KDB, Rodri, Gundogan,
23:05Arsenal, Declan Rice,
23:08Martin Odegaard, and Zubimendi. You go
23:11to Inter Milan, you have um Calhanoglu,
23:14Mkhitaryan, and Nicolò Barella. You go
23:17to Juventus, you have McKennie,
23:20um Khephren Thuram, and Locatelli. Right
23:23now, I'm just going out with my ball
23:25knowledge. You see the ball knowledge?
23:29Man,
23:31Manchester United, Bruno Fernandes,
23:33Casemiro, Koulibaly, Liverpool, Mac
23:37Allister, um
23:39Szoboszlai, and
23:42please, um Ryan Gravenberch. My god.
23:45Bayern Munich, you have
23:48uh
23:50Pavlović,
23:52uh Musiala, Goretzka, or Kimmich, or
23:55Laimer. You get what I'm saying? I will
23:58flex my ball knowledge. I have crazy
24:00ball knowledge. But, for the defensive
24:01midfielder, you have shielded defense,
24:03break up opposition play, win duels and
24:05second balls, distribute simple passes,
24:08maintain defensive shape, midfield,
24:09support attack and defense, cover a lot
24:11of ground, lead runs into the box,
24:14press, and win the ball back, support
24:17wide players. For the center midfielder,
24:19play making role, you receive
24:22receive between the lines, turn, and
24:25play forward, switch, dictates the
24:27tempo, create chances, keeps possession.
24:29For attacking midfielder, they find
24:30spaces between the lines, play the
24:31killer pass, dribbling and take on
24:33defender, shoot and score, support the
24:35striker. Easy explanation of Jamal
24:38Musiala or Florian Wirtz. When you're in
24:40FM, as we can see,
24:43have a balanced midfield. This was the
24:44midfield I was working. I think I
24:46remember it. It was in deep lying
24:48playmaker.
24:51Um a center midfielder for Guera, I
24:53think, and a shadow striker, but
24:56for more balance, you can also play
24:58Guerreiro as a box-to-box midfielder. He
25:00can both attack and defend. Matheus
25:01Cunha is a shadow striker, the second
25:04man behind Mateta, and
25:06Adam Wharton. He gives those killer
25:07passes. He is the Fabián Ruiz of my
25:10midfield.
25:11He defends, but his passing is insane,
25:13so he gives those killer passes.
25:15Guerreiro has the stamina to play a
25:17box-to-box role. He also has a great
25:19shot in him, and Cunha, we all know what
25:21he can do. When you come to the shape
25:23for the midfield, I usually play in I
25:25like playing narrow, passing tempo fast,
25:28creative freedom, discipline for the
25:30midfield.
25:32Um for the attack,
25:33for the passing, it depends on what I'm
25:35playing. It really, really depends, but
25:38sometimes I usually play short passing
25:40or mixed passing.
25:41But yeah,
25:42that's kind of it. If you have any
