Hi Fm-base
I've been viewing these forums since FM09 now, and finally decided to make an account. (H)
I have a few questions on a 41212 formation that I'm working on for my newly-started Hércules game. I think they're a great team to play, especially given the fact that they can get a huge transfer sum. You can tweak to about 10m-12m, and by selling a few uneeded players, 18m.
I've almost always used the 41212 but in FM11 it hasn't been working aswell as before.
At the moment its a deep defensive line with much width and quick tempo and:
-Fluid
-Attacking
-Short-passing
-More expressive
-Press more
-Zonal marking
Are these settings efficient for the 41212?
My other question is regarding player roles. Beforehand I deployed poacher/poacher which worked okay sometimes. I've got Kadlec and Nelson Valdez as poacher and adv. forward. Is there a better way to go than this?
What are the ideal player roles for the two central midfielders? I want them to contribute greatly in both directions, mostly helping out defensively.
Last question: Anchor man, should he be closing down on the whole pitch?
Any other pointers and advice for the 41212 is much appreciated..
Thanks!
