He will pick and choose his moments, often being influenced by his stronger foot in deciding whether to go inside or out.
Unlike the winger or the inside forward, the advanced playmaker in the wider wing position has more freedom regarding his positioning, whether cutting inside with the ball or moving to the outside of the fullback for a cross. He will still drive forward with the ball, frequently beating the fullback marking him, before pulling the ball back for a cutback or a low-driven cross for the likes of Mahrez and Foden to slot the ball home. Grealish on the other hand excels in this role from a wider position in the wing. He will still occasionally take long shots, although rarely, especially compared to players like Bruno Fernandes or Kai Havertz who occupy similar positions in their respective teams but are more goal-oriented in their shadow striker’s role.
Maddison plays more centrally in the attacking midfield(AMC) position, often dropping deep, picking up the ball then progressing it through midfield before playing in Jamie Vardy or Harvey Barnes who cuts in from the left wing. In real life, James Maddison at Leicester City and Jack Grealish at Manchester City perfectly shine in the advanced playmaker role. However, he will still occasionally take shots from distance, especially if there is no teammate in a better position, or he has a player trait that encourages shooting from a long way out. Unlike the shadow striker, the advanced playmaker will rather play in his teammates than take a shot himself. The advanced playmaker will perform similarly in all these positions, but with some variations. The role is available in central midfield, attacking midfield, and on the wide positions in the attacking midfield strata(AMR and AML). Do it right, and he will likely end up with 15+ assists for the season, yet if you get it wrong, you will be stuck with consistent 6.5 and 6.8 ratings from the most creative player in your team.įootball manager describes the advanced playmaker role, as one which demands a player to drop into the holes between the opposition’s midfield and defence, making himself available for his teammates’ passes and aiming to turn defence into attack in an instant. This makes creating space in your tactic for an advanced playmaker challenging. Have too few players who can create chances, and you risk your playmaker being marked out of the game, leaving your team toothless, or on the other hand, have too many, and you won’t have enough runners to take advantage of the chances your playmakers should be creating. Figuring out the number of playmakers you should have in a particular tactic in football manager can be a bit of a delicate balancing act.
