Is that like a sweeper? Sweeper is the one position on FM I've never used.Anyone ever successfully played a libero formation
You do realise that it provides descriptions in game of each role?Is that like a sweeper? Sweeper is the one position on FM I've never used.
I also don't get some of the new roles they've added recently, particularly in CM. I have no idea what a Mezzala, Segundo Volante, or Carrilero are, nor how to use them.
Actually, on this, what are people's favourite FM formations and tactics to use?
Personally, I've never been able to get a defensive, stand-off system to work with any consistency. I usually always revert to pressing really high and playing a direct with a high tempo in a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1. This York City save that I'm playing atm is, from what I can remember, the only time I've got a 4-4-2 and a team without playing without a high line to work successfully as well. Every other time I've tried defensive systems, I've always ended up getting the sack haha.
Haha yeah of course, but there's a difference between reading what it says there and then understanding how it works in a given system, formation or tactical style.You do realise that it provides descriptions in game of each role?
It's a useful CB in a 3 man defense. With one of the 3 stepping into midfield. I'm going to try it with Sunderland who are still League One in season 3.Is that like a sweeper? Sweeper is the one position on FM I've never used.

This is the article that drove my want to play itLibero is particular role invented in Italy in the early days of the professional game and made famous by Franz Beckenbauer and the West Germany teams of the 70s. They are basically a sweeper at CB while also being a ball playing defender that has license to carry the ball forward when in possession.
The official FM website actually had breakdown of how to implement the position a couple of weeks ago

Oh, right, yeah. I'm thinking of earlier FMs where you could actually play a sweeper in about three different roles. I only just realised last night that selecting a player as sweeper isn't possible anymore. Is that new to 19, because I seem to remember it being there in 17, and I didn't play 18.It's a useful CB in a 3 man defense. With one of the 3 stepping into midfield.

Just lost my first game using it 2-1 but it was an unlucky defeat. Had a good goal disallowed and then lost to a penalty that my keeper got a hand to. Played pretty well apart from Lee Cattermole with everyone 6.7 or above even the Libero Max Broughton.
Pretty pumped for the Libero formation, Broughton is a natural for it and I've managed to bring in Foyth on loan too who will be great at it. Also got in Reece Oxford on loan. Can't think of the other signings off the top of my head
Yeah new this year.Oh, right, yeah. I'm thinking of earlier FMs where you could actually play a sweeper in about three different roles.

Haha I reckon if i was playing as Sunderland, my first order of business would be to sell Cattermole, but I guess he might be decent at that level.
Who do you sign in your ML when first starting?That’s a good point about it being a bit paradoxical.
It’s not like I’m a numpty when it comes to playing either. I know how to keep the ball and create opportunities. I also don’t expect it to always be easy against a low ranked team in certain conditions but there just needs to be a bit more of a balance is all and somehow remove the scripting bs that seems to favour the AI. Then it would be incredible.
Funny enough, since I complained, the game has been fairly good haha.Who do you sign in your ML when first starting?
Have brought in Mukiele so far and Teixera (a made up player - 78 rated CM who is 19).
Hm interesting.Funny enough, since I complained, the game has been fairly good haha.
I’ve signed Fekir, Perisic and Javi Martinez for Arsenal at the moment.
Never got into these alternate databases personallyjd2010 reckon this might be my next file.

Depending arrows, I include Laca or Ozil and alter formation slightly to accommodate.
As unrealistic as it is, I enjoy being able to sign players I could never sign.
Yeah, he is a bloody beast. Thinking of pairing him with KouliabilyTalk about cheap - 23m for VVD from Liverpool is a steal

So unrealistic, but don't even care. Just want to have fun with this side.
Need a RW as backup and another striker, but that will come with time. still got 35m to spend, and 22m wage budget.
Really want to bring in Bernardo Silva, David Neres, Embolo and some regen striker who is only 21 but his attack is 82 and finishing 84.
It's PES.Isn't your on autosave? Mine saves every week
