    Let me compliment you for being just about the only FM content creator who hasn't touched on the whole FM 25 drama. Still, I'd be curious to know what's your take on the situation in a future video. But yeah, I really admire the fact that you haven't dramatized the situation for clicks and views.

      thanks! It's funny because my favorite games are from Rockstar Games, so I'm used to developers not giving update for literal years at a time haha. With them, it's basically "it'll be released when it's ready" and you have no clue when it's coming, so that's kinda the mindset I have 😂. I'm bummed there's no FM25 naturally but in the meantime, FM24 is an incredible game and I have no problem playing it a little while longer 🙂

    I love the No-Nonsense Full Back too. The direct passing really is a superpower. Insanely overlooked, especially in the lower leagues. I think the position on the wing is even more potent for the passing than the centre back, which can be good too.

      I’m kinda confused. Surely the player chosen has to have good passing and vision? Or its just NNF has better lucky punts than NNCB or other positions. Why wouldn’t you just give your good full back direct passing /take more risks to recreate that Alexander Arnold playmaking

    Your videos are always great. The Ramdeuter role depends heavily on the player's characteristics. A strong and aggressive player (Endrick) can defend very effectively. He just doesn't track back immediately. But if the defender on the same flank can hold the counter attack for a little while he will get involved and press hard for the ball. On the other hand, a timid attacker like Rodrygo or Baldanzi make the team look like 1 man down when defending.

    Also what team instructions do you use that you think are important in your 4231.

    • @TheDeepLyingPlaymaker

      great eye! It's part of a 4231, my favorite setup this season. The roles are:
      Defenders: NFB / CD (C) / Libero / NFB
      Midfield: Anchor / SV
      Attackers: Winger / Enganche / Raum
      Striker: Poacher
      Because there are no overlapping roles (like Wing Back or Full Back), you get some really amazing passing and ball movement. Especially in the midfield. I've used the formation in my Enganche video as well I believe

    Hey man, thanks for the great work. I’d be interested in role combinations including the trequartista, the IWB (attack) and the regista. Three roles that I have always tried to use, without any success. Mainly, because I couldn’t pair them with any other roles that seemed to work well together. Have a nice weekend!

    • @BenAnderson48
      @BenAnderson48 День назад +4

      I'm not the DLP, but I can give a few suggestions! Treq is most useful in my experience on the wing. It can function a lot like Grealish at Villa, where his job is to get the ball as often as possible, run with it, and then distribute when he's pulled 4 players out of position. It's very dependent on dribbling, flair, and passing ability. I typically like treqs to cut inside, so its best pairing is with a FB or WB that overlaps. Registas are essentially RPMs on crack, they do a lot more creative stuff but less defending and are about as likely to be out of place as the RPM. Best paired with an Anchor-type, but I've had some success with pairing them with a really aggressive BWM and playing more defensive overall. Finally, IWB(A). That's a tougher one because there's not a lot of times where you want your fullback in the opposition half space over a CM or a winger, but if you really want to make it work, you'd want a Winger on the side of the IWB and perhaps a Carillero in the midfield. I'd somewhat consider Connor Bradley's role in Slot's Liverpool as an IWB(A) in the final third at least, but overall it's a weirder player role that I haven't used a ton. I did find that when trying to make a box midfield with a BWM(S) and IWB(S), they would typically stand only a few yards apart, so when I had a CM that I didn't want in the final third I would put the IWB on A and he'd take the more advanced part of the box. These are just a few ideas, not expert opinions or fully analyzed concepts! The best way to learn is to experiment. You never know what players will pop up in deeper saves, and some innovation can make some regens extremely good!

    • @Young_Blumenkohl
      @Young_Blumenkohl День назад

      @@BenAnderson48 Thanks for that answer, sounds interesting. I got a player capable of playing the treq on the wing, in which formation would it be ideal? Asymmetrical 442, 433, 4231, 343? I would love to get it to work and I’ll try with your suggestions, might even throw a regista in there, can’t go fancy enough I guess.

    • @TheDeepLyingPlaymaker
      @TheDeepLyingPlaymaker  21 час назад +1

      thank you for the question and for supporting the channel! :) For a 433 as an example, you could do the Trequartista as the lone striker, and then on one side use the Winger(S), IWB(A), and maybe a Carrilero. That will give you a lot of movement, and then focus on supporting/defending roles on the other side. The Trequartista likes to have a lot of room to roam around in.
      I also want to mention that what @benanderson48 is absolutely true as well, and all the tips they gave are excellent. I wanted to give you another example to show that there are mutliple ways to tackle a situation :)

    • @BenAnderson48
      @BenAnderson48 18 часов назад

      @Young_Blumenkohl I've had the most success with it on the wing in a 4-3-3, but it can work in any formation. The big thing as DLP said below, is that treqs like space, and they will come very deep to find it. Having an attack-minded fullback on the same side works best in my experience because as the treq comes low to receive, that fullback will happily take the space and keep the opposition fullback pinned. Then when they drive upfield with the ball, the opposition's FB or CM has to come out to deal with it which will free either your FB for a pass into space and a cross, or your CM to progress the ball more, with the Treq then driving into the box.

    • @VurtAddicted
      @VurtAddicted День назад +1

      ​@@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker yes, this concepts are what I meant with isolation. The trequartista loves to aggressively dribble the defenders or surprise them with a tricky pass, so ideally you want to have him vs multiple defenders to create overload elsewhere. This is why he's so good on the flank, ask Messi for references. I am assuming the combination with NFB would work great.
      On the secundo, is that the only role with the same suggested attributes on support and attack? That would be another interesting fact to investigate

    • @TheDeepLyingPlaymaker
      @TheDeepLyingPlaymaker  День назад

      @ I think so.. I don't have the attributes in front of me but I think the AP may have someting similar? I think it's dribbling that goes from suggested to key (or whatever their phrasing is). Of course I may be confusing with the Enganche since they have almost identidcal attribute setups lol

    • @VurtAddicted
      @VurtAddicted День назад

      ​@@TheDeepLyingPlaymakerAP(a) has acceleration that AP(su) hasn't, which makes a lot sense as he has to make runs into space.

Anyway, the idea of runners + long passers is a very good one

      that was my trick as well, but it does mean he is less available for a counter attack because he wont be high and wide. but i have used it before in a system where i put 2 raum's as it made it so one was always tracking and the other would be high and wider depending on the oppo fullback.

      great idea! that could totally work; an effective way to get your team better on defense! If I may counter, one thing I love about the Raumdeuter, like @piersonjamesa alluded to, is that they will drift and find space without the ball. So if you have him mark an opponent, you will be more defensively sound but could lose some of your attacking ability. As always, FM is about trade offs :)
