Tactics Explanation of IF (EME)


Recommended Posts

First of all this explanation is from my own research and some is from @rseven who've already done some trials and had already post some of his results in vibe.

In a lot of posts, i've seen a lot of people said that IF is useless this year and etc. But the real thing is it needs some requirements to  make the IF cut inside and acts like a legit IF.

There are some points we needed to know to make the IF legit and cut inside like a normal IF should be :

1. There is only one IF in your team.

If there is two or more IF in your team, only the IF at AMF position is the one cutting inside

In this formation, only IF in AMC position will cut inside, and IF at AML position will drifts outside.

In this 2 IF formation, those 2 IF will drift outside, nobody will cut inside

2. There is no players at ST at C position

If there is a striker at the center position, the same thing will happen, the IF will drifts outside like a normal winger does

3. There is no players plays APM at all AMF position

In the formation above, the AP roleman will be the one cut inside and go into the penalty box, and IF will drifts outside like a winger

4. There is no player at AMC position, in whichever role the AMC is

I've tried with all roles, and the result will be the same, the IF will plays like a usual winger role

 

If the requirements above is obeyed, we'll see our beloved IF drifts inside into the box, and score A LOT of goals and assists if you get the right strategy.

Here is some example of the tactic where IF can drifts and cut inside

Screenshot_2016-01-07-17-53-39.thumb.png

In this formation IF will cut inside from behind the striker position, so he will play in the right side of the striker

Screenshot_2016-01-07-17-54-09.thumb.png

In this formation IF will drift inside and will be the central striker and the formation will be like a 3 strikers formation

Screenshot_2016-01-07-18-51-41.thumb.png

In this formation IF will be in the left side of the striker when attacking

Screenshot_2016-01-07-19-00-01.thumb.png

In this formation IF will be the same as the  4-3-1-2 in above, the IF will be in the center position in the 3 striker formation

Screenshot_2016-01-07-19-25-34.thumb.png

If there is player in AM position but not in AMC and not an AP roleman, the IF will drift inside and will be in the left side of the striker

 

We need to note here that IF will be in the striker position when we are having possesion and is attacking, if we are defending, he will come to his normal position in the tactic

Additional information

1. You can change IF to AP. and you will find AP will cut inside too.

2. AP can be in the MC position to make IF cut inside. But it only works when you put two FC, no FCC.

Great read ! Thanks mate ! I'll try some tactics in my save to see if they cut inside.

Just to be sure : You just see if your player cuts inside ? There is no way to see it through match statistics ?

Glad you liked it mate! 

Yes, just like @rseven said, you can see it when the game shows the pitch, or from shoots statistic, but still i focused on when the game shows the pitch because its when we can really see if the IF cuts or no

Yeah, I had one formation with 3 IF (one on each side and one in the middle). Only the one in the middle did enough shots.

I'll try some others :)

So if lets say you use the 41221 with the striker on either side.. can you have any of the 2 cms as apms?

you can have your IF cut inside with an APM in CM posisition if you are playing 2 strikers in FC(L) and FC(R) position mate, just as @rseven said

With the fcl and fcr do the player roles matter?

As I know, no matter for the roles for two FCs.

Will the IF cut inside if i have an APM in CM position?

Btw, whats the diference between APM and DLP?

In CM Position, which would work better?

Am i able to have both APM and DLP in CM positions(with a working IF at L or R side)?

For APM in MC position, it is much more complex.

Based on my experience, for 4-2-2-2(Attacking 4-4-2), APM at MC postion doesn't impact IF to cut inside.

For some other formation, APM at MC postion maybe impact IF cut inside.

This is a problem that was already found internally (along with a few more positional 'quirks' with the AMC position) and should be fixed in the next update. Nicely spotted though!

Note: CM APMs will also cause IFs problems if you are playing with a lone striker. AMC/R/L APMs will stop IFs in any formation. Similarly, APMs will also make attacking runs if not interfered with by other roles.

As I said, should be fixed in the next update. So hopefully you won't have to do these workarounds for too much longer!

I hope the updates can be more frequent with regards to fixes. Like this positional issue, one has to play knowing some roles/ position plays not what you thought it is, and have to find strange ways to work around it. It takes away the fun.

Would a AF in the st position with two wingers and an if in the amc spot work with a apm and dlp in the cm spots like this

                           AF

        W               IF                 W

                 APM        DLP
