Ans some stamina as well, as that goes hand in hand with playmaking. I agree with yndy though that the winging is most important for offensive wingbacks.

My solid winger (close to excel) with inadequate PM/excel stamina does better on Offensive WB then my Briliant defender (close to magni) with wretched winger. That says enough I think.

hey I'm playing a guy that is scoring trainer that takes his extra forward from his WingBack posission and sometimes plays his wing towards the middle. Is this a good op to try attack at the wings? I've never done it before but I thought I'd check with you guys to see what you thought before I screwed up the game

In my humble opinion, AOW and AIM suck big time. The few times I played it it didn't do me any good. As confirmed here, the experience with the tactic is your combined passing skill (or the combined passing skill of your midfield and forwards). It doesn't generate more chances, it just diverts them.

But!

What you should do is play (your best) offensive winger in that "hole" in his defence. Add some more strength to it by playing a offensive wingback (adds to winger attack).

@ Mistfit:

If he placed an extra forward from the Wingback that means he only has 2 innermids. You'll nail him on posession big time if you play 3 innermids. And like Shabba said play your best winger offensively on the spot where his defense is open.

Shabbaman · 01-10-2005, 11:57

True, he plays 3-4-3 with only 2 inner mids... BTW, your midfield is so much stronger it shouldn't be a problem anyway. You could think about strengthening your central defence: instead of a central defender repositioned to the midfield you could reposition a wingback (the "other" wingback, obviously!).

Thanks guys

Quick question, I desperately need it for tomorrow league game:

Do I lose training playing 2-5-3? It seems to be the only way for me to try to draw or win and I can get to high inadequate midfield with this setup and mots (both wingers to middle, forwards defensive and defenders offensive

). If I lose training, I can still try to play 3-5-2 instead. The rules say that training can be lost when 2 extra players are placed in "normal" position, i.e., 4 forwards or 6 defenders. And nothing about playing with 2 defenders. There certainly would be confusion but that might be OK, team spirit might counter that to certain extent as well as mots.

No, you won't lose training.

2-5-3 and 5-5-0 are both legal formations however I wouldn't use them in competitive games as you cannot build up experience in the formation so unless you have a captain with international level experience you are likely to suffer from too much confusion.
