wouldn't overlaps be great for a narrow team so that the fullbacks give you width? and underlaps for a wide formation so that midfielders and such can run into the space you make by stretching the field wide?

[JakeCooperFM]

Love this, definitely something I will give more of a look at now!

[StingerNeilD]

How's it going folks. Any questions just drop them here or even twitter and I'll get back to you 🤘🤘

I often use underlaps as sick off my wingers/inside forwards getting free with no support and either shooting at the side netting or running it along the touchline straight to the gk at the ear post. Underlaps allows them to hold it up and play in my strikers/att mids that are hopefully chasing them down the middle.

[tsaageotrimm]

Man, I really should give the underlap a shot. Never realised the full potential of how effective it can be. Always played around it. Thanks for the guide. In fact, this might just what my team needs to save it.

Diamond work once again. Keeping FM simple

[deckyBWFC]

I always have 1 of each, overlap right, underlap left. And have a target man upfront on support, a poacher and an inverted forward/winger on left or right.
Centre midfield on attack on same side as inverted winger and target man.
These 3 work great together.... A wide midfielder hits cross early or lays off to overlap FB. It allows a full range of attack types

[travaskew]

Dude.... I just stumbled across the underlaps. Fantastic! Searched for it and come across this video. Explained perfectly mate, thank you. I play a similar shape (4-2-1-3/4-1-2-3) and had problems with the overlap and now i know why. Cheers again. Have subscribed 👍

[Fives]

Nice video, I never saw the nuance before that it will hold the team play up. So from that, it would probably be best to use overlap when your best players on the attack are your FBs/WBs, as opposed to your midfield, and vice-versa?

[remingtonsteele]

Fantastic explanations 👍🏻😎 I really like your very awesome content! Keep up your great work 😃 Cheers!

[onahdavid]

Going to try out underlaps
Fits the way I want to play

[ihandilnath]

Great video! I'm on a Liverpool save currently. I feel like my current tactics don't leverage the runs in behind by the Inside Forwards (Mané and Salah, on Attack mentality). Going to experiment and see if this instruction could get more out of them as well as a marauding central midfielder (Box-to-Box midfielder).

[mowvu]

this is the first fm video where my brain went 🤯

[TinqTing]

quality content, please keep that up :)

[ashleytaylor]

Loved this video. Really well thought out and insightful.

[andysims]

Use wingers or wide playmaker on support with underlapping attacking IWB'S! I like to use a midfielder in the inverted wingback position. A Ward-prowse type player is great at it.

[diegoguimaraes]

If you choose IWBs and select look for overlaps, in the build up he stays narrow, helping to maintain possesion. But, further forward the IW will carry the ball inside bringing the opposition FB with him, creating a space where the IWB will look to find. Your IWB needs good decision attributes.

[TJ]

Loaded my current save and switched overlaps to underlaps 😅

[jonnygriffiths]

Overlaps also alter player mentality. It will notch your winger mentality down and make them less of an attacking threat goal wise i find

[lassehemmelig]

In one of my saves I have an AML with 18 passing and 11 crossing who is best suited for the advanced playmaker role. Would underlap be a really good thing for him?
