Ep45: The Unorthodox Winger
Welcome to the Technical Area, your weekly FM podcast brought to you by Gaffer Graemo.
This week, we're pushing forward from Ep44 to the Unorthodox Wingers, the wide players who are not exactly what we stereotype as wide players. When FM introduced the Inside Forward, suddenly our wing play had a new dimension. With the additional developments in the wide areas, suddenly, our options on the wings were transformed by the new opportunities available to us. FM/SI have always driven the game towards reflecting realism, so as the game has evolved to reflect these changes (and the ME has adapted to these roles), creating new dynamics on the wing has allowed us develop and shape our sides in new ways.
