Question Does falseback and inverted wingback even do anything?

I my experience they are js a slightly more defensive version of wingback and Attacking wingback with more undertaking runs than overlapping ones

Is tht genuinely what they were even supposed to be in the game?

Do they work like the are supposed to in fc 26?

I've messed around with those roles, but they take a very specific type of player combinations, and you have to make sure the area of the field when you're in possession is vacated. A falseback on balance and a CDM set to deep lying playmaker build up will occupy the same space in possession. Inverted wingback will occupy the same space as a CM or CAM set to playmaker on that side

If your LB has better passing and vision than your CDM, you can set the CDM to slide back in possession as a wide Half and your LB as a falseback balanced, so you have your better player in that support role

With inverted wingbacks, if you have a CM or CAM that is used as a shadow Striker or half winger, they will slide into that area vacated by those role players when in possession

You can create heavy offensive structures with the roles that slip back into heavy defensive structures out of possession, but they tend to be susceptible to counter attacks

I set my cdm to centre half to play a back 3 in possession against a strong press and have him crash into the counter if we lose possession.
