Modric + Kroos + James
bale and cr on the flanks
scary team offensively but a strong real DM is missing imho
Agree. I dont know and I hevent been following soccer long enough, but can Modric be that DM? That would not be a good idea, no?
Maybe they sell him and get one? Lars Bender?
Yeah, Modric can play as holding midfielder. He has played there before in the past. Modric can also play as a #10 (also played there in the past). As well as central midfield (his best and most effective position). Modric can play in all three central midfield positions. He has also played in wide positions (left midfield definitely, not sure if he has played right side but I see no reason why he cannot). Versatile midfielder.
His best position is central midfield though. Where he can link between defense and attack and act as a ball carrier (dribbler).
There are diminished returns when he plays as DM or AM. Adequate rather than strong in defensive qualities. Generally not incisive enough or score enough goals as AM. Also diminished returns as LM where he doesn't have pace to blow by defenders. Still a really good player in these positions but not World Class as he is at CM.
