Key players: Kalidou Koulibaly, Mats Hummels, Milan Skriniar, Edson Alvarez, Virgil van Dijk Segundo Volante It may be worth setting their role to ‘attack’ so they naturally push up and become more involved in attacking transitions. ![]() They must also be defensively competent to snuffle out danger and anticipate threatening balls over the top, but also technically adept if they are to operate in midfield and even pose a threat in the final third.Īs the role requires fluid movement depending on the in-game scenario, it is best to deploy a libero centrally as part of a back-three. Naturally a libero must have excellent levels of fitness to cover so much ground. What makes the role so unique, however, is that when possession has been won, the libero has license to push forward and slot into the midfield, even going as far as to contribute in attacking phases of play. The libero is essentially the last line of defence when out of possession, playing between the centre-backs and the goalkeeper, looking to sweep up any loose balls and stifle opposition attacks. But the highly fluid position can be used to great, almost devastating, effect on Football Manager if utilised correctly. These days the libero role is often confined to football nostalgia and is almost synonymous with players like Franz Beckenbauer and Ronald Koeman. Key players: N’Golo Kante, Eric Dier, Allan, Wilfred Ndidi, Rodri, Kalvin Phillips Libero As they are tasked with protecting the midfield space between the attack and defence, it often works best to deploy two Carrileros alongside each other for maximum efficiency (as detailed below).Īs this is a specialised role centred on high energy and a sophisticated positional understanding, the attributes to look out for are anticipation, off the ball, work rate and tackling. In terms of formation, the Carrilero works best in a narrow set-up, usually in a 4-4-2 diamond or an iteration of a 4-3-1-2. In that sense a Carrilero must be energetic, industrious and versatile. The Carrilero is often the conduit between defence and attack, but will not just park in front of the backline, instead drifting across the pitch and covering the full-back areas when their defensive counterparts push high up the pitch. Where a box-to-box midfielder will look to push forward and aid in attacking moves, the Carrilero will refrain from becoming too involved in the final third, instead breaking up opposition attacks, driving the team forward - to an extent - and ultimately picking the safer ball, usually out wide. Their predominant focus is to spread the play laterally rather than surging up the pitch like a traditional No. The Carrilero - or ‘shuttler’ - is quite literally a less glamorous box-to-box midfielder. With that, we’ve put together a guide that should help you understand some of the more niche roles on Football Manager 2020 and how to use them correctly. Instead of shoehorning players into roles you’re comfortable with, perhaps now is the time to experiment and take your pixelated repertoire to an entirely new level. ![]() Getting your tactics spot on is not only key for excelling on the pitch, but also imperative for developing your players.Īs such, you may find roles like ‘raumdeuter’, ‘libero’ and ‘enganche’ unnerving and too risky to experiment with, instead opting for the safe and familiar options.īut, that cautious approach could be hampering the true potential of your squad. ![]() ![]() The array of options for each individual position can give even the most experienced of virtual managers a touchline headache. Picking the correct roles for your starting XI can be a challenging prospect on Football Manager.
