Alright, so for my Burnley's third season I am going to be playing a 4-4-2 - (2 CMs, AMCs on the right and left wing as inside forwards and a target man+ poacher in the striker positions) and I got everything sorted there.

I would like to play a 4-5-1 as well. And with 4-5-1 I mean 2 CMs, 3 AMCs and 1 striker up front.

In my 4-4-2 version I have a deep lying playmaker as one of the CMs and the other CM is a ball winning midfielder - No problems there.

Now to my question - I am thinking of buying Paulo Henrique (http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/3131/paulohenriqueprofileatt.png)

The problem that arrise is I am not sure how to structure my 4-5-1 or how I should play Henrique - Seeing as he is natural as an AMC and has godlike stats for a playmaker I thought I'd put him as an AMC - Advance playmaker with either support or attack duty.

Should I still have one of the CMs as a deeplying playmaker or do they sort of contradict each other? And say it is not advicable to have one deeplying playmaker + an advanced playermaker, I have a few options to pick from - Either I

1: Play Henrique as something else,
2: Retrain him to become a natural CM and use him as a deeplying playmaker and get someone else as an inside forward /attacking midfielder in the AMC position
3: Replace the deep lying playermaker with something else.

And if number 3 would be the answer, what role / duty should I have there?


Sorry for the wall of text, wanted to make sure everyone understands my situation.

Help is sincerely appreciated.

Play Henrique as CM deeplying playmaker. Get some inside forward amc put one of amc att mid support and one as adv playmaker support and put playmaker role to the deeplying playmaker. Adv playmaker will be in the middle and get inside forward who is other footed than the striker.
 
This may not be extremely helpful for you but if you can get him, you must be doing well with burnley if you can, then you should play him as an amc and build the team around him. He's one of the few players that holds a candle to the regens that will come through and you will reap the benefits putting him in his best position. You want to play him attacking I think though, not a deep-lying.
