Roles need to be redefined for FC 26
The idea of roles is great and I really do like them however there needs to be more variations of roles and focuses, in order for the player to have more freedom when it comes to tactics, formation playstyle etc
The CB position needs an Attacker/Emergency Striker focus under "Ball Playing Defender" currently there is only "Defend" and "Build Up" some of the most legendary Ball Playing CBs historically were great going forward, players such has Hierro, Ramos, Koeman, Beckenbauer, Passarella, Sammer etc
A focus which allows our Ball Playing CB to push forward to score goals and get into attacking spaces would really be beneficial, also there needs to be a focus that pushes that Ball Playing CB into midfield, currently the "Build Up" focus does not allow that.
There also needs to more Focuses under "False 9" Strikers like Karim Benzema for example would drift wide and allow the inside forward (Vini, CR7 etc) to occupy central positions, currently under False 9 there is only one focus, there should be a "Wide" option under the False 9 role.
There needs to be a Box-to-Box role for CDMs on the game too, currently only CMs have this role, but putting this on CDMs too would give the player so much more opportunities and freedom, currently it's a bit restrictive not being able to have your CDMs playing as B2B Midfielders; tons of CDMs historically and currently were B2B Midfielders. (Davids, Redondo, Rodri, Falcão, Vieira etc)
Lastly, the Half Winger role needs to change, in game this role is useless and it's a massive hindrance, the player under the Half Winger role, essentially plays like a fullback and they get in the way of the Fullback/Winger, please make it so the Half Winger actually occupies the half spaces, in game the Half Winger is essentially another attacking fullback, they need to play higher up and more central; think of the spaces that KDB occupies, high but also a bit more central than your average wide man.
