PLAYING STYLEAdvances from the flank through timed support runs and combinations while monitoring the space left behind the attack.

FM26 TACTICAL FITUse as a Wing-Back on support or attack with a covering midfielder inside. Higher tempo and counter-pressure maximise repeated forward actions while the opposite flank secures rest defence.
