thx for the video, one more significant difference: if you take a look at all three playmaker's highlighted attributes, roaming playmaker and deep lying playmaker don't have Flair ticked, but Register does, to my mind, if the oppositions defensive midfielders and defenders have excellent Positioning and Anticipation in their attributes, higher flair will help to unlock the final third, that implies register tends to be more creative in terms of finding creative pass/unexpected move to unlock the final 3rd, on the other hand, roaming playmaker tend to give more simple passes as he roams around to bridge the midfield, deep lying playmaker as he/she situated in the deep will have more obvious passing options in front of him/her, expecially DLP in defence role, there're less flair needed to make a pass, RMP & DLP their main playmaking role is to bridge midfield, that's the reason RMP often used in Fluid counter attack tactics in a 4-3-3 formation
I like the control over the team's playstyle the playmaker gives. If I want to play more direct and get my ball out to the furthest positioned players, I can go with something like a DLP on support, who's going to consistently find those long diagonals and find them when they're open without getting desperate. DLP on defend is better at working up the ball methodically in shorter passes, but then I have to set up the team so they don't bomb forward and give him those short vertical options. I can still somewhat do the same with a DM on defend, but without the focus play on him, it's less likely the team will look to keep possession using him as the deep pivot and he would work better alongside something like an advanced playmaker, who also facilitates that short passing game, but moves to get the ball in higher positions, will carry it, but won't defend. In whatever formation, even if a role doesn't have "playmaker" in its name, there always is at least one main creative, risk taking role. In a 4-4-2 you can be playing almost the exact same way with a DLF in support being the creative focus point coupled with a more bland, solid in defense and possession midfield, or have a DLP on support and a box to box midfielder with a Target Man who won't do much besides hold up as far as chance creation outside the box goes.
Playing on my FM 19 I'm using a regista, advanced playmaker (attacking midfield position)a carrilero and deep lying playmaking in central midfield support duty won the Bundesliga in my first season with bayern leverkusen. Lost once to bayern won 25 drew 8 games conceded 22 and scored 78.
Thank you for the explanation. I wanted to ask you about something and would be delighted if you find the time to cover this in a video. What can you do to turn around the phases of play when you are simply being dominated by other teams? For example, in away matches the opponents dominate you for large phases of play and there are no highlights from your team. I found that no matter what I do it is nearly impossible to turn around the game. Sometimes there are good attacking patterns for my team but the final execution is always missing or the attack ends with a weak shot. Also opponents play around you too you easily and it becomes difficult to defend.
Can you go in depth in the role of Roaming playmaker and what best compliment that role, I play a 433 with a Rpm and bbm or bwm in mid and a dlp on defense in the dm role
Another great content :) Daljit, I recently noticed something in my offensive players' behavior and tried to narrow it down to single area/attribute, that contributes for this behavior (Firstly I thought it was about footedness, so that's why I brought that question to you maybe month ago). It looks like "aggression" might be a key attribute for an advanced player, or at least when it comes to the rate of forward runs. 2 seasons ago I had a great player, that was very aggressive (in terms of movement, attribute was just 12), although his OTB was only 13. I'm playing strikerless so that is exactly how I want my AMC to behave, as we draw them and they leave space. Unfortunately board accepted bids for him and I had to look for options. I currently have 2 though, both of them with better OTB, but both with low aggression. Yet non of them behave as aggressive as my former AMC. I started making some experiments and narrowed it down to this conclusion - "aggression" was the key. Is that nearly true or I'm missing something! Cheers!
Thank you Daljit, this is perfect. I have 2 variations of the same tactic, one with RPM's and the other with RGA's and just realised I haven't fully understood the difference until watching this video.
I like using DLP on support in a standard 4231 system. He’s away from the press and not easily marked. I must also add that I find it hard to understand the role of an advanced playmaker in the number 10 position. Of all the roles that I’ve used in that position, it has never being an effective role. I like my number 10’s to not necessarily attract the ball too much, but rather move into spaces and channels, play killer passes and most importantly take shots at goal whenever possible. An ap in that position doesn’t necessarily do that.
Thank you Daljit for the explanation of the difference between deeplying playmaker, roaming playmaker, and regista. I'm inspired to use regista in a 433 formation for my villareal save. I have a question, I need a role in midfield (cm) who can work like box-to-box to cover my regista defensive burden but still have the effects of cm(a) and also being creative without being a ball magnet. what role do you think I should use? Or do I should combine the role with a certain player traits?
Hi Rashidi. Maybe you could advice or make a video of what to do if your is by far the weakest in the league and you can't improve the squad (for example, playing Youth Challenge). What is the best way to increase chances of not losing, should you stick to best players strengths or it's better cosplay real life underdogs - cautious, compact block, not high press and direct
I've signed Carles Aleñá to be my roaming playmaker in my 4231 positive short passing/high tempo tactic. Sometimes he does the job, but most of the time he has a 6.6 match rating. He has bad tackling and underwhelming positioning. What role should I use him in CM and who should i pair him with?
Great show. Perfect length and content nailed it. What tips do you have when playing a back 4 against formations that employ a AM/St combo. I find sometimes I can get torn apart and debate against playing a DM… against aggressive combos like SS/AF I find my 2 CB’s can be ripped apart even against weaker opponents (and my CB’s are world class 15+ attributes etc)
he works as a ball magnet and collects ball, but you can't actually expect to build up play through him as the main playmaker consistently if he has to drop from a striker position, it might work sometimes, but more often it won't
DLP on defend duty doesn't have that instruction, but it can be enabled. Personally, I use DLP on defend with take more risk and play more direct passes in a standart 4231 formation.
so, as usual, its not about single role, but a combination of roles, instructions, and player attributes. And understanding what other players doing on the field.
Fantastic t-shirt. Fits to the topic. The Netherlands has had good playmakers

This legendary Dutch jersey is the best one ever.

Really like this kind of videos about roles, can’t wait for more! Nice shirt btw

DLP on support has Risky Passes though.
Not by default though I don't think?

Thank you. That answers my question except I hope AP is explained in the next video. 😎

Great video. I can't wait for the rest of the series.
Very informative and well explained as always. Thanks!

box to box role
B2B with ”Move into channels” possibly

Awesome video! Love these informative ones
Also if you want to relly on playmaker make sure you playing with lower tempo so they have actually time to make a play :)

I find sometimes I can get torn apart and debate against playing a DM… against aggressive combos like SS/AF I find my 2 CB’s can be ripped apart even against weaker opponents (and my CB’s are world class 15+ attributes etc)
? How important is bravery and aggression for defenders? I think I know the answer but looking for reasons why my defense is underperforming
Damn you need more subs
How do i send my saves?
SI as in second inquisition?
The dlf is hard to make him 20 goals and above
Isn't the Trequartista a playmaker?
he works as a ball magnet and collects ball, but you can't actually expect to build up play through him as the main playmaker consistently if he has to drop from a striker position, it might work sometimes, but more often it won't
Is a false 9 or trequartista not playmakers?
No they aren’t classed as playmakers in the game
In what game DLPs don't have Take More Risks?
DLP on defend duty doesn't have that instruction, but it can be enabled. Personally, I use DLP on defend with take more risk and play more direct passes in a standart 4231 formation.
