If you were asked to name the most important part of a car, what would your answer be? The colour?
The size? The interior? The bodywork? No - you would or at least should answer with the correct response: the engine. The same can often be said for football teams. Usually the players grabbing the headlines are the flashy, stylish or more creative players that contribute crowd-pleasing stats such as goals, assists, clear-cut chances, or a high xG.
They can be the difference between success or failure in executing a well-balanced playing style as you attempt to conquer all in your latest FM save. As is usually the case in Football Manager, there is no real right or wrong when it comes to role selection. Looking at these four roles specifically in terms of how they are intended to be deployed, they can generally be broken down as follows:.
Of course, all of this makes for good copy, but how does this translate to actually deploying the role in-game? Instead of shooting on the goal he will attempt setting up others for a chance to score goals passing the ball to another teammate.
By giving away a goal-scoring opportunity he might waste a chance of scoring as the pass gets blocked or intercepted and never reach the player it was intended to. Personally I would let my box to box midfielder, deep lying playmaker, inside forward or attacking midfielder with better vision than finishing have this trait, as these players might come into goalscoring situations due to their advanced positioning, but might not have the finishing technique or long shot capabilities to convert the chance to a goal.
He will slow than play if necessary or increase the tempo if the match requires it no matter the team instruction relating to tempo. The player is required to read the game and be tactical intelligent in order to try to affect the match with his passing game. The success of it is determined by how successfully he anticipates the match and the opponents playing style, as well as his overall abilities to assess the match. When playing with a lower tempo, it may be useful to have a player who can increase the tempo to take the opponent off the guard in beneficial moments, by making sudden quick passes or slowing down the play if the match tempo is particular high.
Switching possession to the other flank will increase the probability of a player to attempt diagonal passes from one side of the pitch to the other. It can be useful trait for central midfielders with great vision and passing abilities on one side with an on rushing player moving forward from deep, moving freely up the wings on the other side, as space is less congested.
It helps to destabilize the opponent by quickly moving possession from an overloaded area to an underloaded area. Personally, despite playing a possession game, I let my advanced playmaker have this trait, in order to utilize the space on the opposite side where the complete wingback or attacking wingback will run into.
This increases the chance of a player showing and asking for passes into his feet rather than into space or a different part of his body, such as his head.
The trait can be used in a system where you rely on passes into space, but where you want the players to target a specific playmaker who can take advantage of the ball by making through balls towards players getting forward and into space. This trait is more an individual preference of where he want the ball rather than a tactical instruction, and means the player will be less likely to run into space but rather wait for the all to arrive at his feet.
It can be suited for a more stationary player playing a possession game, such as an Enganche or Target Men. It can also be suited for Wingers or Inside Forwards who got lower acceleration and off the ball, as they are better at taking advantage of the ball, perhaps with dribbling and flair. Shoots from distance will increase the frequency of which a player will attempt shots from outside the penalty box. If squeezing the play and pushing the opponent deep into their own half, having a player who can finish off the attacks by shooting from outside the penalty box, can be advantageous.
The player is required to spot potential opportunities for taking a shot, by not only having good decision-making on when to do so but also assess the goalkeepers positioning and his level of reach. Having too many players shooting from distance may damage your teams ability to get into useful goalscoring positions and might let you see lots of shots off target as the accuracy with the shot decreases the further distance from goal it is taken.
Labelled as Tries Fewer Long Shots when you shall ask a player to learn it, this trait is the opposite of shooting from distance. It means that the player will refrain from attempting shots from outside the area, perhaps due to his poor technical abilities with long shots or better skills running with the ball and finish off the attacks inside the penalty area. Players suited for this trait could be attacking players or midfielders with poor long shots and finishing when playing with the shoot on sight team instruction.
These players who shall refrain from taking long shots is the typical creative playmakers or those with sublime team ethic — carrying the ball out of defence and delivering it to one who can take better advantage of it. Likes to lob the keeper is a technical trait suited for creative players famed for their artistry. The player will instead of shooting with power or place shots take advantage of the space over the goalkeepers head to lob him.
It requires excellent technique and fine-tuned weighting of the ball path to score. It provides strikers an alternative method to finish off the attack, but will be far more difficult than placing the shot in the corner of the net or round him, as the space between the goalkeeper and the goal might be limited. Also an technical trait that favors the player to go around the goalkeeper in one-on-one situations rather than shooting immediately or placing the shot in the corner of the net.
Similar to try lobbing the keeper in one on one situations, it gives the player an alternative method to finish off the chance.
Learning the trait try to blast the ball into the back of the net will increase the probability of a player opting to shoot with power rather than placing the shot. The placement of the shot will not be as accurate, but will be done with power and strength which may lead to a goal, if the shot is done directly at the goal and the opponent has been great at blocking off likely areas to shoot at.
It suits players with high levels of finishing and strength as they can utilize this action to attempt scoring. It also increases the likelihood of a player attempting long-range shots, particular if his Flair is better than his Decisions. It suited for both central midfielders, wide players and forwards as it increases the likeliness of the player to use force rather than aiming it.
It suits a determined player who does not got the composure nor the vision to dribbling to take better care of the ball. Places shots is the opposite of shoots with power and favors players to utilize placement of their shots, preferably towards the posts, shooting with accuracy rather than blasting them in. It means that the player will increase the ratio of placing his shots in the corner of the net. Personally I prefer to let my attacking wide players Inside forwards, raumdeuter or inverted wingers to place his shots as the angle is tighter.
It can also be given to forwards who shall finish off the attacks as supporting players behind him is more likely to look for him. Rather than force and inaccuracy, the player will look to shoot the ball precisely into a smaller area of the goal. This increases the likelihood of a player to take a shot immediately upon receiving it, instead of considering of taking an extra touch on the ball, either to get control of it or get a better angle for the shot, unless he finds himself in a one-on-one situation, which will take the best course of action for this situation.
Personally, I prefer my attacking Inverted Winger, Inside Forward or one of my forwards, if playing with two, having this trait, as he will finish off the attacks sooner rather than later. The player requires good body positioning and anticipation to read the ball path to strike the ball cleanly.
Once the ball comes, the player will throw himself backwards in an attempt to either clear the ball defensively or finish off the attack by striking the ball with both feets in the air. Whether it will be successful or not, may depend on how hard the cross was struck and his body control in the air and his overall athletism.
Similar to a powerful shot, the players with a great free-kick taking can hit free kicks with power. He will not be as precise with his free kicks, but will increase the chance of a free kick to be struck with a lower, harder trajectory. The ball will fly in as a projectile and requires great strength to rifle them in. With this trait, the player will increase his chance of going directly for a shot on goal, rather than aiming for a player running towards the opposite post or towards the goal.
It can be useful in teams with few really great headers and players who are poor at making smart off the ball movements. It provides you with a goal threat from further distance and is best suited for players with excellent free kick taking and long shots. It can also be learned for a player with poor passing abilities and better free kick taking and long shots. A player who dives into tackles will increase the frequency of a player engaging in a tackle rather than intercepting the ball path.
It does not simply mean the player goes to the ground when challenging for the ball, but due to poor anticipation and ability to read the game well, he will look to win possession by throwing himself into tackles. By throwing himself into tackles, and he misses the ball, the opponent mayeasily get into goalscoring position.
This is the opposite trait of the one above. It decreases the frequency with which a player will engage in a tackle. It does not imply that the player will stay on his feet when challenging for the ball, but instead might intercept passes due to better anticipation, concentration and positioning. The player should be quick to be on top of the arising situation by reading the ball path and recover possession before it lands at the opponents forwards feet, and could be suited for defenders, full backs as well as defensive midfielders and some central midfielders.
It might be useful to let one of your midfielders possess dives into tackles with the other not diving. Then you got one who challenge for the ball and one intercepting it. Marks opponents tightly increases the chance of a player successfully adopting tight marking.
The overall success is determined by his full set of attributes, but let you see the player marking the nearby player by moving closer to him and trying to track him rather than hold position.
A player with marks opponents tightly may let you see a zonal man marking system, as the player does not follow a particular player all over the pitch, but will move closer to the player who comes into his zone. Do note that if these players tracks the runs of an attacking minded opponent they might be pulled out of position, meaning the defensive shape may be destroyed and it creates more spaces the opponent can take advantage of.
Brings ball out of defence is only active for defenders centre backs or wingbacks and increases the likelihood of a defender running with the ball into midfield. By running with the ball forward, it can create a numerical superiority in the midfield strata which helps to play out of defence and transit faster to the final third as it increases the passing options for the player with the ball while making it more difficult to defend against.
Shall the opposite first defender leave his marker and close down the defender, or trust his teammates to close down the space to him? It suits central defenders with great dribbling abilities, such as an libero or ball playing defender in the mould of Gerard Pique.
They should feature the ability to read the game well making the best decision possible to bring the ball out, perhaps due to spotting a fairly reactive opponent with a low level of pressing intensity which may let him advance with the ball quite far up the field, skipping the attacking transition phase entirely or simply advance through one of the opponents defensive lines.
He will tend to prefer picking out a pass or decide to dribble rather than opting for the safety-first approach by clearing the ball long or wide. You can ask players to stop playing their way out of trouble at technique training, but it seems you can only let new players learn this trait by mentoring as there are no options to ask them to add it to their game from training. The player with this trait will look to try a few more tricks and skills when the opportunity arises. It can result in a greater array of skills being used, such as dribbles, tricky passes and extravagant shots being attempted.
Curls balls will improve the players ability to add an extra spin to it, creating a curling movement of the ball at passes, shots, free kicks or crosses. By curling the ball, the ball might get an extra curve which might suprise the opponent as the ball flicks in the air, perhaps from left to right. Players featuring this trait can be advantageous to target as it can not be learned or unlearned.
The only option to ensure your youngster can learn it is through mentoring and tutoring. It can be a great combination to add this to a player capable of placing shots, shoots with power or shoots from distance, or those who shall try long range passes, switches ball to the other flank or tries long range free-kicks. Another trait added for Football Manager due to fit the inverted winger role.
