He has one of the former in Bruno Fernandes — maybe two if Mason Mount is healthy — and so far no good in terms of Rasmus Hojlund, Joshua Zirkzee, or Sunday’s false nine Kobbie Mainoo as an elite finisher. Maybe Amad Diallo could move inside as Amorim adds proper wingbacks, ...
On both ends of the pitch, they need to look hard in the mirror and ask who is an MLS-caliber player. Biggest offseason need: The Revs need help at right back, center back, defensive midfield and in the attack. Really, they need a...
Each player in EA FC 25 will be better or worse in certain roles, and this is based on real world data from past seasons of Football. For example, Havertz is a well rounded player and works as a Shadow Striker, Half-Winger and a Playmaker, but Bellingham is more suited to the Half-...
The manager initially preferred more of a four-man backline in early 2021, but he’s gradually started to work in more of a three-man or five-man defense. Through this setup, wingbacks and fullbacks such as Ignacio Rivero, Adrian Aldrete and Juan Escobar provide width on the flanks. In...
Milutinovic did away with wingbacks, the sweeper — none of Bora’s boys would ever be exposed as Windischmann had — and all other vestiges of the 3–5–2 in favor of a more compact, modern 4–4–2. D-mid Mike Sorber would stay deep while Dooley went box-to-box. ...
The outside players of our central three midfielders were stuck supporting the wingbacks, and the extra center-back was not allowing our wingbacks to apply more pressure further up the field. As a result, Panama had an even easier time keeping possession against a setup that was so deep....
Gyau (W/WB):Gyau did lots of hard work as both a winger and a wingback. He's not a match-winner out there, but he soaks up lots of minutes with solid two-way play. Alvaro Barreal(LW):They brought the young Argentine in during the summer transfer window and he hasn't done much...
the Italian did just that for TFC. He played as an inverted wingback under John Herdman, and he was brilliant in the role. He then moved higher up the pitch, and remained their hardest-working player. In a year in whick not a ton ...
It’s kind of a cheat to list Buchanan as a revelation since he really broke out last year in the playoffs, and I suspect his long-term home will be in that spot (fullback) or the spot he more often plays for Canada (wingback) than the half-shuttler, half-winger role he played ...
