What are inverted full backs? 

A team that has some capable wingers can easily exploit the spaces left behind though Maybe they will have more possession, but when the other team has the ball, a counter attack might be dangerous

​@@mohamedaboelfotouhOverlapping fullbacks also leave space behind, the teams who employ more aggressive fbs think it's worth the risk for the extra offensive capabilities. And they're really just for helping the buildup, probably won't stay in that position a whole lot and you need extra players if you're trying to get through a high/mid block.

Partially front

But bro what about width

Trent isn't very good on the ball, that's a misconception. His carrying, dribbling and press resistance are all a bit mediocre. His creativity and passing is peerless, tho. If he can get more time maybe he can be something special in that role but he's definitely not there yet.

not james he's not good on the ball especially not in the midfield where there is much less space to operate he would get caught out too easily my opponents

CAMAVINGA, CAMO, CAMO OH CAMVIMGA

​??🤨🤨

​​@@cogitoy7692his dribbling and press resistance have improved a lot since he started playing as an inverted fullback at the end of last season.

Life is a full circle bro

I'm not sure fitness levels would have allowed this back in the day.

Which is useless against Couterplay

As you continue to learn about football and try to understand, you will realize how much you don't understand, I don't stop watching videos of tactical analysis and game analysis and reading books that analyze the tactics of the coaches, and from time to time I tactically analyze games for myself down to the last detail, for about five years now, and as I Learning more about football and seeing more I realize that actually I understand almost nothing, that's what's beautiful about football, it can be the simplest game in the world, but if you study it enough, it's also one of the most complicated, from philosophies to tactics, and positions, to rules. So this sport is so amazing, because everyone can see it in a different way and love it from a different angle.

Yeo me too

Zinchenko what a player

I think dimarco was also like that 🤔

Also Dani Alves

Akke and walker ❤❤❤

Theo Hernandez

i see you are a fellow fm player

Should I be using 2 ifb and libero or 1 iwb and 1 ifb and 2 cd to get a 3-2-5 buildup

Hakimi has been insane this year

I would disagree and say he has advanced quite significantly in his defence recently (though further improvement is certainly welcomed), but as an inverted fullback, he could see more improvement in his ball control when operated as a double pivot, especially in tight spaces. As a proof, this season TAA faired surprisingly well against Mitoma, but we have already seen quite a few major mistakes from him when heavy touches in the midfield proved costly

​@@Durlano best fullback rn easily, he carries the PSG defence. Gets like 90% of the interceptions and tackles, and he has been scoring, dribbling players, and getting assists. he's too good

I may be wrong but what about Trippier?

@@Durlano Hakimi is more of a winger.

Add Dani Alves to that list!

Yooooo. Your explanation is the best yet

Interestingly the naming convention on the newly released Football Manager 2024 has IWBs doing the role that this video outlines (and has done for a few years now seeing as I've used them on FM21) but also this year has introduced a new Inverted Full Back role which is a little bit more like what Guardiola has been doing with Kyle Walker for a few years - shuttling inwards but still very much on the defensive stratum, forming a back 3 if the other FB/WB has pushed forward. As for the naming convention, it dates wayyy back to the old 2-3-5 formation. As things changed and settled to a back 4 over the years, the names for the old roles stuck, despite the roles themselves being drastically different. It's the same reason Centre Backs are still sometimes referred to as Centre Halves. The 2-3-5 formation is also why we have particular numbers for particular roles on the pitch that shouldn't look like they make sense. ----------------1----------------- ------------2-------3------------ Full Backs ---------4------5-------6------- Half Backs --7-------8----9----10-------11 Right wing, inside right, centre forward, inside left, left wing So they're called full backs because originally they were the deepest defenders - fully back. Eventually one of the half backs dropped into the defence between the two full backs - the centre half. Later another one did it and the back 4 was born, which is why the trad back 4 numbering is often 2-4-5-3 or 2-5-6-3 - essentially the left half or right half and the centre half dropped into the defensive line - hence centre half; full back.

Wingbacks are far more attacking, whereas fullbacks can get forward on occasion or based on instructions, wb are expected to get high up the pitch all the time, giving width and putting crosses in

@@racerdeth Great explanation! It's amazing that this game makes everyone who plays it understand so much more about the game, I wish more people were like this and don't play FIFA and think they understand a lot😂

Fullbacks comes from the old-school use of 3-2-5 (WM) formations back in the 50s, 60s etc. The fullbacks were the two furthest back, with the half backs (right, left and centre) operating in what we call midfield. Look at Spurs when they won the double in 61. The centre half moved back to form a back 3. Blanchflower & Mackay remained as the half-backs. Wingbacks are an adaption of these as formations changed and we developed back-3 formations

@@davidc1721 the WM was the formation that came after the 2-3-5, when the centre half dropped back. 3-2-2-3 looks like a W and an M. The "2-3-2-3" of the 2-3-5 is an M-M!

True he's an above average player no more than that

Porro is not better than Reece James, Hakimi, or Walker lol.

U really sleeping on Trent 💀

​@@Ali-F1Rightfully so because Trent can't defend

​@@zaw33mc24Recce James is always injured unlike Porro

porro 🤣

Job when?
