On topic:

I began as CF. I play like Klose but more physical. I am fast, above average ball control, I can dribble pretty good,very good at feigning body movements to fool defenders and can shoot with both feet.
All was like honeymoon until the Xabi of our team went to another city...
The team was really dull in creative department afterwards, we started losing games Liverpool style. After some time, we gained a very good forward. The coach decided to try me as AM because my passing was one of the best on the team.
It worked, so I was converted to AM. The problem is I had to cover more ground, defend etc. , very tiring After a while I learned how to circulate the ball to divide the running pensum evenly, I became very good A year after, I trained a cannon of shot with my left foot, I tried to make it as fast as possible
After, I saw the rise of Ozil I started to appreciate my role more
My current role, basically, I run all the attack, pressure, cover ground and circulate the ball in final third. I score a lot from outside of the box.
I hate it when others get lazy or tired, they give me the ball and expect me to do something with it...
The good part, scoring from second row is very satisfying :lol!:
I have a quite similar role actually but my dribble is mediocre so i rely on the technic and speed, not that im fast lol.

Dribbling is good but overrated for AM. Learn better how to feign body movements, it gives you a lot more advantage than taking someone one on one, also less injuries.You must train your weak foot or else you'll become very predictable.

Do you warm up/stretch enough before the game starts?

Actually no. Ofc there are some muscle pains when i havent played like 2 weeks or so but other than that there has been some minor injuries but then again, there nothing compared to pro footballer.

It figures... Are you big or small? If small then no problem, I'm 1.84m , flexibility is an issue Very Happy

Then you're like me Very Happy

Stretch and warm up as precaution, you could get mean injuries later. Reoccurring calf strains, torn calf and other sh!t related to speed are annoying Very Happy

Tips for AM, it's a position where you have to play mind games Very Happy

I said train your weaker foot, your main objective is to fool the sweeper Very Happy

Feign sudden body movements when you receive the ball left or right. Do it like rock , scissors or paper Very Happy

Leave him guessing what would you do next Very Happy

Smart sweepers react very fast when they're close, don't get close to them Very Happy

When they're afar they try to stay just a little bit away from your best passing line, they jump in immediatly if you pass Very Happy

1. Don't use your best passing option all the time.
2. When they do it, they're slightly off position, run into the gap fast and cut on the different side of his position. If he is right of you, run the cut left Very Happy

The shooting technic. When they're ball watching always move in their blind spots with free space where they can't see you Very Happy

As I said, don't stay next to a sweeper Very Happy

If you already know all of this then ignore Very Happy

I must admit you gave me some good tips, i deffy have some thing or another to work on, you play in pro league lol? Very Happy

Something a friend told me that helps when playing AM, especially in a limited space game: When you receive a pass, don't take a static touch and kill the ball unless you're in a lot of space. If the game is tight, make your first touch a shift away from your starting point because then only you know where the ball is going and the anticipating defender who tries to close you will end up standing where you were when the pass to you was played- in this respect you have already beaten your man and you didn't even have to take him on directly.

That's what I meant with sudden body movements in different directions. You can't keep the ball long in AM area anyway Very Happy

One on one comes handy when you drift wide Very Happy

Not the team but I'm like a pro Very Happy

I hate losing when I can give some % more Very Happy

By the way, Özil is a mix of CM and AM. You're actually supposed to score more and have mre presence outside the box as AM. I don't see it often from him but he does it from time to time. More often he goes into wings Very Happy

He drops deep to playmake=CM part and run as offside forward Very Happy

He is anything but not a normal AM, something different Very Happy

i started out as a goalie, was shit in it, i remember hitting a volley straight into my opponents feet in my very first tourney as an impressionable 12 year old that too in a final in their ground while playing for the school team.. the guy scord and i was substituted.. then gradually moved to defense where iam pretty decent and can play dm or cm too because iam a very good dribbler..

i shouldnt say this but i do resemble messi or aguero for that matter.. same height. 5 feet 6 inches and 70 kgs of weight and similiar body types.. plus lefty too.. so i do that two footed dribble like messi and other skills though a zillion times worse..
