Player Profiles and Performance

This is how our guys looked just a few days before retirement. Pretty poor now but they have done me proud over the 21 seasons.

Had a ball with this career and loved using these two players who seemed to compliment each other really well. 

The shape i played with the last few seasons is below and is very similar to what i used in my Bad Boys from Brazil challenge. I found that the central striker scored almost as many goals as he would in a single striker formation with a treq alongside him. The treq also weighed in heavily with goals but also provided a monster amount of assists.

Early on in the career i had my BBM as an AP and the treq as an AM, it was only as our guys aged and deteriorated that i tweaked things to get better team performances as i felt things sliding. It seemed to help but my treq in the AM slot weighed in with more goals, which would've concerned me in the early days but at this stage no problem.

I found DW's worked great on the flanks and players such as Alaba, TAA, Alves regen etc are perfect for this role.

I look forward to seeing how this fares in FMM20.

Few stats from the career.

Now you may recall i mentioned my son a few seasons back who has developed very nicely after a few loan spells.

I think i may play a season with him as a lone striker and see what i can get out of him whilst i wait until FMM20.

Although i may also play a few seasons with Middlesbrough to take my mind off the shit show on the pitch at the minute :laugh:

really excellent read of a career, Smog. A shame the game can't recognize that these two would have had a combined testimonial celebration which would have been a carnival of joyous fandom, but there are other things to concern the devs with, in all fairness.

Thank you.  Yeah would be a nice touch but like you say there are probably more important things to work on for the devs.

Some career @smoggy90. 👍

How did the Treq in AMC do for you in this set-up? Any numbers you could share? I'd be interested to know. 

Thanks BG. These are the two guys I used as a treq. I think they are regens of dybala and de bruyne.

Borkelmans was first choice and contreras back up. You can see the increase in goal return the last 3-4 seasons when I switched them from AM to a treq.

Thanks. Those are good numbers for players who aren't the main stars of the challenge. I like the Treq a lot, or I should say I want to like it, but at the same time a role that's kinda hard to get the most out of.

Another cracking career mate. You have had quite a few of them this year. Well done. So, with most of the great careers coming to the end, i have to hurry up and end my Zaniolo if there is no twist in it. 

Anyways, look forward to your exploits in '20. Still can't get over the goals that you got in this career. Undoubtedly awesome along with @Ian of course.

I have found it a lot more effective than other roles in that position, particularly for scoring goals. Although if you want goals out of your front man/men i found a standard AM better as a provider rather than a contributor to goals.

Thank you mate, there have been some excellent careers this year and i have really enjoyed seeing everyone's achievements. Let's hope '20 comes out and meets expectations and we can look forward to many more careers. Look forward to seeing how you finish up with Zaniolo.

I actually quite like the AM role. In some of my set-ups I either use one behind a Treq in ST or in front of AP in CM. Looks a bit odd combo but it works pretty well. They seem to complement each other. 

But the Treq in AMC is rare for me. I'm going Strikerless at some point hence my question. Either a Treq or SS is on the cards for such formation.

In my experience this year treq has worked better than ss in that attacking midfield slot but who knows for ‘20.
