Playing this guy as a DLP(s). Is there a role that would utilise more of his higher attributes?

Playing this guy as a DLP(s). Is there a role that would utilise more of his higher attributes?

This guy has been with me for 5 and a half seasons now, he's easily one of the best players in the world. I've used him as a DLP on support (at centre mid) the whole time, he's been excellent but I'm looking at all that green and wondering if I could further maximise his abilities.

I'm apprehensive about putting him at defensive midfield due to his low aggression but his marking and tackling would be especially useful. I also feel like having him as a DLP is wasting those physical attributes. I'm thinking maybe BBM despite his low finishing. But you lot are better at identifying someone's best role than I am, so what do we think?

Since we’re about halfway through the year, here’s my 10 faves so far

Sorry if the flair is wrong, it’s a topster but also wanna spark a discussion.

This is in no particular order, except Ellende and Marianas Rest being at number 1 and 2. See anything you like? What’s impressed you so far this year?

Why isn’t tackling trainable?

Sorry if this is a stupid question. I feel like tackling is definitely something that players work on in training, so is there a reason we can’t give a player individual tackling training in the game?

Is it just me or does this illness get worse when it’s hot?

I’ve been steadily getting worse for the 2 and a half years I’ve had this illness, but since the heatwave here started it’s been absolutely awful on my stomach. I don’t know the science behind it, if there is any, so is this a common thing? I’ve been completely unable to sleep because of my stomach giving me so much grief, even with my sleep meds and anti emetics.

I know we play in a terrible league but no striker of mine has been this good. Linking up with Mastantuono too. He's helped me to 2 Champions League finals, won 1 and has a European Golden Shoe. Best striker I've ever used.

I’m managing Partizan in Serbia. We have exceptional youth recruitment, spent money upgrading youth facilities to state of the art, a very good HOYD with a professional personality (he has 20 working with youngsters, 15 adaptability, 19 JPA and 20 JPP). Yet in the 10 years I’ve managed the club, we’ve had only 3 players come through that actually amounted to anything. It’s just cricket players every year. Is there anything else I’m missing that I can do to bring in players that have actually kicked a ball before?

I’m not expecting every player to come through to be brilliant of course, I just want to be able to use my academy to have homegrown talent in the squad.
