TacticLab reading
Our observations about the published settings, not additional instructions claimed on behalf of the player.
- The published setup pairs a Box Crasher with a Deep-Lying Playmaker, rather than giving both defensive midfielders the same job.
- The right fullback is Balanced and the left fullback is Defend. Preserve that difference when recreating the published settings.
