Tactics & Training Tips

It's no use having a squad full of star players without a decent way for them to play their football.

UNITED!!!!! is on a distinguished road
Default Swapping Player positions

Hi,

I just have a couple of simple questions about this tactical feature. Firstly, when you swap your players are their tactical instructions also swapped?

For example, I have a very tall target man who plays along with a lightning fast striker. If if tell them to swap then will my instructions of Run With Ball, Forward runs that are set to high for the fast striker, be transfered onto the the target man and i will witness a 6'8'' striker attempting to dribble at every oppurtunity?


Obviously, if this is the case then it would be disastrous as my players strengths would be totally nulled and they would attempt to play with their weaknesses. However, if they only swapped on pitch positions then it would be very usefull because my fast striker would be very hard to pick up and especially, if one of the opposition defenders was not good in the air or very slow, they would become exposed to the exact "enemy" of their stats.

Finally, is there a need to swap players?

For example, if I match up my players at the begining of the match so that my target man is up against and smaller defender and my fast striker is up against a very slow defender; will the AI swap the defenders back so that their tall but slow defender is matched against my target man and the small fast defender is against the pace merchant?

If they do, then this shows why we have the swap players option.

If they don't then it is very easy way to take advantage of the AI's weaknesses.

Any responces would be received gladly

Many thanks

Sadly yes, as for your other question I'm not sure

Ok, cheers mate

Although, that kind of sucks, surely it would not be hard to include an option so that they would only switch their on pitch positions

I think that the AI doesn't change their defenders even when you swap positions. Swapping will allow you to take advantage as you said that your 6'8 striker would be up against a shorter player but it is bad for you too as your 6'8 striker would have to dribble...
