The Best Role in Football Manager Is...

There are a lot of roles in Football Manager. I have undertaken the herculean task of ranking them all on a table to inform your FM tactic for years to come. This is a purely scientific endeavor that includes no opinion (citation needed). There are, however, so many roles in Football Manager that it can be worth it to go over them all to make sure your tactic does not spontaneously fall apart. This would be something that would ruin your FM save a little more than forgetting to add a match review in training.
Whether a role is good or not is much more in your use in a tactic and the skill of the player than the actual role itself. You can win the champions league playing with every role in FM, except maybe a libero, but that’s another matter. I’m mainly writing this for the people I refer here from the comment section saying their tactic makes use of five Segundo volante’s and they’ve won all six champions leagues in half a season on FM21, thus I am a fool. First off, congratulations, secondly, please give me your tactic for the next Streamer Showdown, FM21 has been problematic for me on that front.
Much Love,
FM Senpai

Marco Reus was the best Trequartista I ever used. I hopped in a Dortmund save about four years ago to learn how to play the game and he ended leading the league in assists and being fifth in goals with the second highest rating. Ever since I love tactics that utilize it. I think Trequartistas work well in the sense that you need to make sure that you have both enough input going to him and enough places to provide output. They're kind of like a hypermobile enganche. A lot of the attacking play both originates from and is created through a Trequartista so they need to have enough physical ability to move around a lot and enough passing and vision to be a conduit of play AND enough dribbling to run at defenses and draw out defenders /AND/ enough shooting ability to be able to finish /AND/!!! enough mentals to make it all come together properly. Complete forward, but for an attacking midfielder/winger. They truly have to be able to do it all in order to be deadly. The reason most people tend to not do too well with a player on Trequartista is that it's a position that needs not just a specific ability but also a tactic that works with it. If anyone sees this comment, try putting your Trequartista in the middle with creative people to his left and right, defensive solidity behind, and a finishing-composure first striker up top. As your Trequartista ages, they often turn well into first a Raumdeuter and then an Enganche if you can get them to stick around long enough.

When a Regista works, it works perfectly. It's like a DLP but he can actually get closer to the goal, aka higher pass success rate, aka more passes that unlock the defence.

@@TheGroundHopper in an ideal scenario yes, you want players with a strong foot opposite to the side they play on in any inverted role (iwb, if, IW). But this isn't as important as for classic wing roles. A normal rightback or right winger with a left foot won't be able to run to the line and cross it, an inverted player can still be useful when cutting inside on his week foot. So for these roles a player that has the wrong strong foot but is somewhat competent with his week foot might work just fine

@WrapGod1 3 жыл бұрын

I really recommend you trying the Wide Playmaker role. It has something unique about it how well it works with an overlapping fullback / wingback. Wide playmaker drifts inside and has an option to play a ball to an overlapping defender, into a channel to striker or stretch play to opposite wing. Despite having 'Shoot less often' hard-baked into its instructions, I still get them to score 10 goals a season with 15 assists to top it off. Very cool role with some unique movement and passing. Works well with a Shadow Striker in the middle, thrives of off players moving into channels and on the wing. It's essentially a playmaking inverted winger, which is awesome. You won't see him blast it into the side netting.

Pressing forwards are the funniest role just for the fact that every now and then they will actually pull off a tackle on the opponents goalkeeper and completely embarass them with the easiest goals you’ve ever seen, idk if this is just applicable to FM19 but i’ve found that inside forwards can be amazing with a strong attacking wingback behind them that likes to get forward(thus the wingback takes on the role of winger) and a single striker system(so the inside forward acts as a second striker when he comes into the center and works alongside the striker)

Modify them to play like a Quarter Back, i.e. longer, riskier passes, and you've got yourself the playmaking, goalscoring, ball-winning defensive midfielder you never knew you needed.

One of the best formations I've ever put together was a 4-3-3 with a Treq at CF, an RMD at each wing, and 2 Mezzalas on Attack duty in the midfield ahead of a roaming playmaker at CDM. A complete wingback on each side and 2 BPDs on defend at CB. Attacking mentality. Almost all O, very little D. I was okay with the front 3 doing absolutely NOTHING defensively, but man, could they score. I won some games 8-3 or 7-4, but my objective was to just outscore the opposition. The trequartista scored goals, but he also had plenty of assists due to the mezzalas and RMDs around him. I like using the Treq instead of the F9 in that spot because the Treq is more attack minded. I've never used the Treq role on the wing, just at ST and AMC.

I feel like my favourite roles are very version specific, last FM I got over 30 goals and 20 assists out of a treq striker and a 7.5 average out of a regista but this year I couldn't get either to work

I love rolling playmaker, and they work great in my fm 2020 tactics. For me it's one of best roles in the gamd

I found the only way I got regista to work was to retrain AMCs that play Advanced playmaker or Enganche really well. I found a lot of success with Foden and Lo Celso retrained to this role.

Currently running a wide playmaker on the left with an under lap and one forward. He’s leading my team in assists 2nd season in a row lol

Wide playmakers on a 442 with 2 advance forwards playing on the counter are deadly . You just need great wingbacks and a good midfield runner to maintain the threat when you're on the front foot.

I think Trequartista are underrated for Wingers. That's the only role that do what i want when i'm in positional play in attack when I have a right winger, right footed, with a right full back "attacking" (same on the left side). On the other roles, they keep bumping in eatch other. Trequartista role will put your winger closer to your striker, leaving the wide for you full-back. Although most of the wingers are not used to that role, they keep scoring and assisting a lot, especially to each other with wide crosses to the far post.

I love a solo AF but that's partly because the guy I have playing their is an academy player who scored 38 league goals in Serie A last year

i play with Mehdi Taremi in FC Porto as a CF and he scored like 36 goals and like 10 assists in 32 +/- games in Liga Nos, probably is a good signing.

Mezzella is my best but the Trequista is quiet good if set up the individual instructions well, very good at pulling out to find good runs into channels

Casemiro acored 2 straight seasons over 15 goals for me had either over or near 10 assists, an average rating of 7.36 as a centralmid BWM with Kroos behind him as a regista and Modric assymetrically right next to him on the right side. I have him to move forward and he not only wins a crazy amount of interceptions but does most of them being one of the first players to start pressing and thus winning the ball even around the box after a short goal kick. I think the BMW is the prime player in any high pressing team, however, he has to be at least above average and skillfull and calm on the ball.

In FM17 or 18 I had Giovinco absolutely go sicko mode as a Trequartista. Signed Miroslav Klose as a free agent and paired him as a target man. Gio had like 45 G+A

Interesting. I've been working on a concept tactic of inverted wingbacks which cut in and 2 Mezzalas that then go out wide. It's not breaking the ME but it is workable. The issue within inverted wingbacks is there are few natural players on their off-foot so these need to be retrained.

@shawngillogly6873 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah. It's easy to find left-side right footers to invert. So easy that it's painful to invert the left footed proper wingback...

I actually have my most successful save (2 consecutive quadruple with Lazio) using Libero on Attack and 2 Carrilero in the left/right sided centre midfield. De Jong has to be the best Libero in the game with those key attributes and traits.

Currently using complete wing backs and 2 (yes 2) roaming playmakers and inside forwards. And a Complete forward that should just be a pressing forward. And a half back. And I took this personally.

Agree on Poacher. I remember I had a journeyman career couple FMs ago and I ended at Leicester City. Tried to make a tactic strictly to accommodate Jamie Vardy as a Poacher - didn't turn out well. But I disagree on Inside Forwards. After I read some real-life report, that crossing the ball is one of the worst ways to distribute the ball to the penalty box (only like one in 30 crosses lands where it was aimed at and only about one in 90 ends with goal), I deliberately try to avoid crosses as much as I can opting for low drives into the box.
