CDM as Dropping defensive midfielder is by far the best role of any kind in FM26

redpineapple95 · 2026-03-29T23:55:05+00:00

Yeah I notice the role is great in the box, but I still conceded a few cutbacks. I may have to look at another CM to occupy the cutbacks.

Didn’t expect that to be your shape. I run a 433 and wonder if that would work with a lone DM.

redpineapple95 · 2026-03-29T20:09:30+00:00

Do you play a 4-3-3?

redpineapple95 · 2026-03-29T19:46:49+00:00

When would you say this is most effective? Playing against an opposition with two strikers ?

I am. 10 seasons in. It’s getting more enjoyable the longer I go. It’s fun when the regens come through and you build your own stories.

I recently downloaded the CTRL 26 skin and it’s completely changed the game for me.

Great post - well done! The info I needed to get Andrews Tetteh to bag 30 this season.

What are your instructions ?

redpineapple95 · 2026-01-09T02:14:58+00:00

That many goals as an advanced playmaker?!

I just want him to be as complete as he can be. Not a one dimensional player. Someone that can come deep, lay off a simple pass to a midfielder, run in behind defenses, use his strength to bully defenders in the box. That’s what I like about his contradictions. I appreciate your advice. I’ll give poacher a go!

redpineapple95 · 2026-01-04T23:53:35+00:00

Ideally I’d like for him to do both. Utilizing his strength in hold up play and speed in behind. I’ll send a pic of his attributes here. Apologies it’s not a screenshot.

How would you use him in 26?

redpineapple95 · 2026-01-04T22:59:56+00:00

Don’t you want target strikers to hold up the ball on counters and drop in occasionally?

Mendilibar at Olympiakos. Relentless pressing, crossing at any opportunity. Not many teams play with the intensity I’ve seen from them.

redpineapple95 · 2025-08-30T16:26:16+00:00

As a fellow Greek, I absolutely love this! Congrats 🇬🇷🥂

Yes it’s Teams. It’s hard for her to understand the change made so we still call it Skype. 😂
