Best Position in Football Manager

I was asked a question on stream, it was a simple one: what is the best position in Football Manager? In a sense, this question ignores tactics and wonderkids and player roles and everything else that affects the most important position in your team in particular. But, as I do, I sat there and thought about what position in FM offers the most versatility and upside, which position has more ability to change the way your tactic plays than any other. After this long train of thought, I came up with an answer.
This is, of course, a very subjective topic. Every position in a tactic can make or break how it works and which team it tactically exploits in any given game. There is no debate about the amount the position I’ve chosen affects tactics once you’ve set everything else. One change to this player’s role and you have a completely different team mentality at times. Ideally, you would just have amazing players at every position so it wouldn’t have to be a concern. We don’t live in a perfect world though, especially in football manager.
Much Love,
The Zealand

@bradwhiteuk 3 года назад

Trust me here lads, IWBs are absolutely broken. As in really, really good. The only problem with them is that it's a rare role to find players naturally good at by default, and you will therefore likely need to retrain guys to play it. I recommend either retraining a WB with all-round ability to a IWB on the other side, or retraining DMs to IWBs. Crossing is less important than passing and dribbling, physical attributes (though still great) are less important than mental ones, and two footed players are particularly useful.

@oscarjr.gutierrez6434 3 года назад

@Wmets16 3 года назад

@TheDamirBosna 3 года назад

If you want to press high, inverted wingbacks should be your choice. I won the Champions League with Hertha Berlin with Phonzie Davies playing right back as an IWB. I set them on “support”, they need good physics and decent passing. I use a deep lying playmaker if the opponent has a real 10 (AMC), if they have 2 strikers, I will use a half back. They will form a 3-man line in possesion, easy playing out from the back. It’s important to play WIDE. Totally stretch the pitch and press high with both MC-s on “attack”, and both wingers on “attack’ - they give u width. The striker is tricky, he needs to link-up with the 4 attacking players (2 mcs & 2 wingers) - i most often use a false nine or a deep lying forward. Set tempo and passing on low, keep possesion, don’t look for overload and enjoy the tikitaka 😁

I play with a 4-1-2-2-1(with wingers)...how can I make my central midfilders go to the box when the crossing is happening? No matter what role and forward instruction they are never in the box when the crossing is made.

@keshav7428 2 года назад

I have both of my Midfielders push up in the box when wingbacks/wingers are crossing. I use an Advance playmaker on attack and a box to box, set both instructions to attack higher up or something like that and roam from position. They overload the box like hell

@eXistenZ15 3 года назад

Wuld you use fullbacks in a system without wingers (4132 narrow for example)? or is that too defensive, even when underdog?

@keshav7428 2 года назад

As long as your instructions are go forwards, stay wider and cross more often should be fine. Player instructions > Roles

@vaaggasje 3 года назад

Does anyone use the player instruction of stay narrow on their inside forwards/inverted wingers so the wingback has more space to overlap and your better attacking players are more central thus more dangerous? I keep trying but can't really see a difference, anyone out there who can?

@keshav7428 2 года назад

It works for me. Make sure your team shape is also narrow. And tell the wingbacks to go wide, push higher up and cross more often

@F-Tier_Physique 3 года назад

There seems to be a mistake; this video isnt about Wide targetman. The NCB is obviously also the best back because he hoofs up the Flo-passes.

@Taeerom 3 года назад

I would think the Flo pass would come from a wb on defend with try longer passes, take more risks, and so on. The NCB is only going to hoof it upfield, and is not going to be accurate enough to hit a wtm. You want Pirlo type passes, you don't want to just clear it. Unless your WTM is Emile Heskey (retro database) with 20 jumping, pace and acceleration. Then you can tell every player to just hoof it upfield, and he'll catch it wherever it lands.
