Mezzala & Winger FM24 Role Combination Guide

The FM Skin I use: Rensie Dark FM24 Skin

One of my favorite attacking combinations is the subject of today's Football Manager 24 player role combination video: the Mezzala and the Winger.

In the video, we'll discuss first off why they're so good together. Then we'll talk about some complementary roles, when to use the support or attack duty, and finally, a tactic example.

I hope you enjoy this FM24 video :D

a new series idea could be "how to play against different tactical styles" like control possession, the gegen press or even park the bus. please consider 🙏

[Pipehnn]

I'd love to see you in a longer video (perhaps a series) where you manage a team and walk us through the team building, signings, and specially the tactic and how you change it throughout the season.

Thanks for your reference. I created a tactic that exploits Half-Space. On the left side I combined Inverted Winger (Support), Mezzala (Support) & Inverted Wingback (Support). On the right side I combined Inside Forward (Attack), Advance Playmaker (Support) & Wingback (Support). Completed Forward (Support) as a lone striker. This is very helpful for ball possession tactics, which often creates numerical advantage situations. I use short passes + low tempo and a slightly narrow width. Thanks for your reference.

love these role combo vids, keep it up man!

[sosahid]

You're a living legend, thanks for the quality content my man.

[johnFOOTBALLMAD]

Thank you - excellent insight - please keep them coming

[AceMega]

Love this. Going into the new season with a new formation, tactic, and roles. Mez with IW is just as good as with a Winger. Just played differently. Keep it up with the solid video, man 👍.

Best FM content on YouTube. Concise and informative. Hope you get a Million subscribers. Do plan to do live streaming anytime soon?

[VurtAddicted]

This one is an easier coupling for italians given that mezzala means half-winger 😂😂😂 another great video, Teacher!

[nguyentuanat]

i would be pleased if you add the Player Traits section at the end of the video

[wallcroft]

love this combination. this is the combination that makes my schalke become 3 peat bundesliga champion

[Sasquatch]

This is how i set up Raphinha & Gavi in my save, with great success too.

[vitaminc]

I didn't know they work like this. I only know for sure since FM2021 Mez-IF (same side) work well. When IF cuts inside and get in behind the defenders, Mez will cover the flanks and cross when the opportunity arises.

[nokilmkd]

do you reckon you can play like the combination on both sides, or is that too much risk? like on the right flank mezzala on attack and winger on support, the left flank, mezzala on support and winger on attack?

[pjbenton]

I play something very similar to your 433, but use a raumdeuter instead of an inside forward and my deep lying forward on attack.

[Fakhrihidayatt]

What if i use dlp(s) on the cm instead of b2b and hb instead of dlp(d) on the dm was it good? So i have 2 support players on the midfield with iwb since b2b will roam a lot

[Sandman-lltc]

have you tried the mezzala and winger both on attack? will it work just fine or keeping it balance with 1 on support just better?

[bernedo]

I have a question for you. In my save with Tottenham I have gone 16 games unbeaten (including a 4-0 against Man City) but my striker is not having a good game. I play tiki taka with a high tempo, creative freedom and very high pressing. I play a 4-2-3-1 with these roles (from left to right): SK (Su), IFB, BPD, BPD, CWB (Su/At), VOL/DM (Su), DLP (Su), RMD/W (Su/At), EG, AP (At), AF. I don't know what role I can put on the striker, I've tried the poacher and the DLF, but nothing works. The best role for now is the AF because he drags the defenders with his runs and leaves spaces for the second line, but I would like him to also act in the game and score goals.

[Mami-ddft]

is false 9 good instead of DLF ? and is 2 mezzela playable ? one with support duty, one with attack

[dobri_momak]

Would Mezzala and Trequartista (as a centre forward) be complementary to each other or no?
