player's attack runs

[ssn3]

hi guys i play a very simple 4-4-2 formation.
my question is now about the players attack runs.
should i give them attack runs or should i not.
and if yes what kind of runs should i be giving especially for the two strikers.

I wouldn't focus on the strikers exactly, more so on the wingers and the defensive minded midfiedler.

Have the two wingers attack arrows pointing forward. And if the right winger is left footed, have another arrow pointing in towards the opponents goal, so he cuts in more. This will help with shots because he can come inside onto his favourite foot, but it'll restrict crosses because he won't run up the wing as much.

Also put the Defensive midfielder's arrow pointing backwards, so when your team is attacking he will stay back just incase they get you on the counter.

ya i understand what mean
but dont you think that the strikers need some attack run aswell?
like i tried a few but it doesnt seem to do well for me
what runs do u do for a 4-4-2 formation
and how about the attacking midfielder?
what kind of runs should he do?
i like attacking a lot and i like to attack both through the flanks and through the middle
or should i just leave it without any runs at all?

Well as you mentioned using an attacking midfielder, i'm assuming your playing a diamond 4-4-2.

If attacking really is your thing then have the attacking midfielder attacking foward aswell, and you can add another attack arrow to him aswell, depending on which way you want him to make most of his runs.

Obviously it depends a lot on what team you use, and what players you have. Which team are you playing as?

i play with man utd and spain a lot
and i like to play with fast strikers
so basically i am more to dribbling and giving through balls a lot
this is my formation that i like playing

------GK-------

----CB--CB-----
SB-----------SB

-----DM--------
--------CM-----
RM-----------LM

-----CF--CF----

so what attack runs should i give to have more through balls get through and still can attack both from the wing and middle?
