Episode 7: Midfield Mastery - Strategies for Building Around the Advanced Playmaker Role
Welcome to the Technical Area, your FM podcast brought to you by Gaffer Graemo.
Every team needs a star. Last time it was a Shadow Striker, this time it's an Advanced Playmaker. We're evolving from building around a deep-lying goalscorer to the orchestrator pulling the strings from the pockets behind the front line. Isn't this the player we all need to build around?
This week, we:
Define the role of the Advanced Playmaker
Analyse the squad makeup needed to bring out the best in an Advanced Playmaker
Dissect the tactical considerations needed to make a Advanced Playmaker the team's star
Discuss the counterarguments of focusing on one star, but pose an evolutionary solution that may not be as long-term or sustainable as I initially hoped

Episode 6: Unleashing Shadows: Mastering the Art of Building Around a Shadow Striker
Welcome to the Technical Area, your FM podcast brought to you by Gaffer Graemo.
Every team needs a star. They need the pieces around them to fit just right in order for them to be able to show the world just what it is they are capable of. In FM24, I'm building my first season around Jean-Kévin Augustin - a Shadow Striker. And as of recording time, he's not just my best player, but he's potentially the best player in Switzerland this season!
This week, we:
Define the role of the Shadow Striker
Analyse the squad makeup needed to bring out the best in a Shadow Striker
Dissect the tactical considerations needed to make a Shadow Striker the team's star
Discuss the counterarguments of focusing on one star, but pose an evolutionary solution that may not be as long-term or sustainable as I initially hoped

Episode 5: Cracking the Code - Beating Bogey Tactics
Welcome to the Technical Area, your FM podcast brought to you by Gaffer Graemo.
Every year, it may change, but nonetheless, every year, it's a problem we face - The Bogey Tactic. We can't beat it. It just has our number. Whether it's a stubborn defensive setup or a relentless high-pressing game, bogey tactics can frustrate even the most seasoned managers. But fear not, as today we're going to be diving into the strategies you need to overcome them, so that bogey tactics can become a thing of the past!
This week, we:
Analyse the bogey tactic itself
Establish the elements of a Game Plan
Dissect the weakness of the 4-2-3-1 & 3-5-2 shapes that listeners identified as their bogey tactics
Discuss what to do when playing against a high press or low block

Episode 4: Cracking the Code- Deciphering the 3-5-2 Formation in FM24 feat. Inzaghi's Inter
Welcome to the Technical Area, your FM podcast brought to you by Gaffer Graemo.
After being blown away by them in person, Simeone Inzaghi's Inter have been one of the most exciting teams to watch in Europe this season. Their interpretation of the 3-5-2 is but one example of how prominent this shape is becoming again in football. This week, let's dive in to how it works, what key considerations are needed to develop your own, and what lessons we can learn from Inzaghi's Inter side.

Episode 3: The Goalscorer
Welcome to the Technical Area, your FM podcast brought to you by Gaffer Graemo.
As I reach the Winter Break of my first FM24 season, my #9 has 17 goals and my #10 has 16. Without them, my season would be floundering, so how have I built around them to reach these heights? What happens in the matches they struggle in? Well, let's get into it!

Episode 2: He's a Keeper - An FM24 Guide to the Goalie
Welcome to the Technical Area, your FM podcast brought to you by Gaffer Graemo.
Never before has a Summer passed where Goalkeepers had as much prominence. De Gea or Onana? Raya or Ramsdale? The world may have been split, but we don't have to be in FM. So, as FM24 finds its fledgling wings, how do we know if he's a 'keeper?
