Against Sheff Wed JFC played deep in front of the back 4 and attempted quick transitions with long balls forward. This is where I think you will see him play with Tex in the enteral AMC role
Perhaps the recruitment team are actually doing a good job and finding decent players who are under the radar and good value. Not that many on here would agree with that even if he turned out to be the next Pirlo
The system is becoming a bit clearer as it looks like he has been brought in as a deep lying midfielder to do the job that JFC isn't capable of. Looks like he will be tasked with launching quick attacks from deep. JFC has been playing that role and now we know why.
