This is hardly a tactic that a nat)ral !inger !o)ld make the most o)t of* b)t if yo) need Wing attack to strengthen yo)r !ing defence a !ing back might do some good in this position' This is the only individ)al tactic in 1attrick that isn+t a compromise' Since it strengthens a players main skill and lo!ers a less important one # think this sho)ld be the defa)lt setting of any nat)ral !inger'
