Another fantastic video! You absolutely nailed the explanation of the player role. I almost panicked at the 2-minute mark when you hadn't mentioned creating space yet 😅 Your name of your channel suits you perfect, you're the "Deep-Lying Playmaker" - you're giving us the killer through balls (info) to score those goals (understand player roles/tactics). This actually made me think about my own role as a viewer. I think I'm a "Supporting Winger" - always here with those well-deserved likes! Looking forward to the anchorman video next (just a guess) and really interested in a future breakdown of the Libero role!

Have watched all your videos now, love the style and format! I think itll be mezzala, as its a very interesting role. For the roaming playmaker I find that a phsycially strong player is needed (so dahood might be a tad slow) although his dribbling, work rate and passing is exactly what I look for. Also try the 'comes deep to get ball' trait if you havnt already. :)

My guy! The other day my sister gifted me FM24 and i started after not playing FM for a couple of years because its expensive in my country. Started my save and went to make my tactics and player roles/instructions, and for the first time i started reading the descriptions for the different roles. And let me tell you it all sounded almost the same with some minor tweaks, and i asked myself like a week ago "why it cant be more clear? Maybe after the description put some names of pro footballers so we could get an idea. There must be someone on youtube doing and in-depth explanation of the roles". And i didnt even get to search it on youtube that started recommending your videos... Amazing! Just what i was looking. And the videos are amazing, you talk at a nice pace, the design is very nice! Im waiting for new videos so i can apply it to my save. Thank you my friend!!! Cheers from Argentina!

Full winger or just inverted / inside forward? If it's the inverted type they tend to operate in the same space when on attack. If it is a winger I guess it's just better to have it on the other side, especially if they are good in the air because they can get it pinged to them by the opposite winger.

Complete Forward, Complete Wing-Back, Segundo Volante and Roaming Playmaker are the most demanding roles and for me the best roles when you manage a very good team. I also love to play 3 at the back because then my wing backs can play more upfront and my high line pressing works better. I always use Complete Striker on attack. In the build up phase he plays like a Deep Lying Forward. Once my 2 Volantes on Attack Duty and Complete Wing Backs on Support Duty move in the final Third, my Complete Striker will act as a Target Forward, while my Roaming Playmaker acts as a number 10, who stays outside the box and has all the passing options. My second striker is an Advanced Forward who makes deep runs behind the defence. My 2 Wide Center Backs on defense duty give me width and defensive cover in the half spaces, while my Libero on Defend Duty will move up into the midfield. I play with a positive mentality. Tip: Always try to find a tactic where you can outnumber the enemy players (make overloads). I like to use wingplay and I always play with only 1 playmaker. With high line pressing and a positive mentality you can win almost any game. If you have a bad team, you have to use a simple tactic and simple player roles in order to succed. But Target Forwards, Full Backs, Central Defender and Ball Winning Midfielders or Defensive Midfielders or Central Midfielders are no bad roles, just simple roles with only 1 task. As long as your players can fullfil their role in a good tactic you will become a succesful football manager

@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker5 ай бұрын
Thanks! And as for the roaming, I kinda think about it like this: if you put a player in the Attacking Midfield role, he'll move around the CAM area. But if you put the "roam from position" player instruction on the same AM, he may say "hey there's some space over there on the wing let me go exploit it". This is a good thing since it can lead to him finding open space. However, it can be a bad thing since it's outside of your tactical instruction and he can "roam" out of position, leaving your team vulnerable. A player with good "off the ball" and "anticipation" will be more effective at roaming
@VurtAddicted5 ай бұрын
@@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker I had the same starting idea, but then I applied the same concept to smart but slow wide midfielder and it worked great, so I am now wondering: shouldn't we simply give the roaming instruction to all smart players? There is a theoretical backslash if they lose the ball, but it's more a question of structure in the players with a defensive role because if I am not wrong you can't give the roaming instruction to players on defense

The video explanation is brilliant, in line with others. Philosophically I feel these "complete roles" should be removed from FM. I believe they should be achieved by player traits for Forwards. Same goes for the complete wing back, I'd prefer it was either a "playmaking wing back" like Marcelo, focused on taking more risks traits or a winger player in a wing back spot like Perisic did got Conte or Saka in euros, focused on dribbling traits and less emphasis on tackling in the attribute screen.
@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker2 ай бұрын
I think I agree with this haha. It's also tough when building a tactic since it's like "what does he do?" "Oh he does everything". This can be tricky since you don't know what he's going to do at any given time. Maybe have a new forward role like the central midfielder/attacking midfielder/wide midfielder that doesn't have any hard coded instructions, so like you say the player has more influence over how they play.

The mezzala is a halfwinger, so they occupy the space between the winger and the central midfield and are more creative. (as a side note, you may enjoy the next video topic!).
