We often see this dilemma posed on a team’s elder statesmen those who have learned the game and therefore remain technically and mentally suited to the top level, but have weak physical attributes. It’s therefore necessary to choose a role that allows a player’s strengths to flourish, rather than expose their weaknesses. Players in roles like the Advanced Playmaker, who love to drift about, or the Shadow Striker, who move into channels, may not be suitable and could mean your man struggles to cope with the physical demands placed on him. You may find an attacking midfielder in your squad that simply does not have the mobility required to cover ground. In order to get the best out of your squad, sometimes you have to ask yourself what players can’t do. Thus, over time, the make-up of the traditional 10 has changed from elegance to function.īut the role is, of course, retained in Football Manager 2019 and classic number 10s still remain in the game… today's Wednesday Wisdom therefore looks at the Enganche: The Perfect 10. Suddenly the playmaker was expected to press from the front – the emphasis now is not just on what the playmaker does with the ball, but also how he performs without it. Two things happened that made the classic 10 largely redundant.įirst, defences got wise to the player in the hole and then teams started to press the opposition high up the pitch. It was never essential for this playmaker to track back and help with the defensive side of the game, his teammates would 'carry him' and in return he would pay them back with magic, plying his trade 'in the hole' behind a central striker or two. The position reserved for that one player who can turn it on at any moment, who can win games on their own through craftsmanship and guile. The classic #10 - there's a certain romanticism around the concept of a classic number 10. It's a role that can sometimes be overlooked but could help get more out of your number 10. This week's Wednesday Wisdom comes courtesy of focuses on the role of the Enganche in FM19.
