HI guys,
I'm still working out the finer mechanics of using arrows in my formations which leads me to asking for some advice. If I have two strikers in the AM positions sitting in behind striker with arrows pointing towards goals when in attack will they be classed as strikers or attacking midfielders. The reason I'm asking is both strikers I want to play in behind the main guy are awkward in the am role so i'm wondering if the arrows point forward when they have the ball will they be classed as strikers or forwards? If it means they will be playing awkward then I shall have to rethink my strategy.
Cheers
Lyons

no an am is an am.and a sriker is a striker.as long as u put a striker in an am position he becomes an am for the match.but the arrows pointing towards goal,means that they always tend to move towards goal.got it?

Right so the best thing to do if I wanted strikers to play in behind a central one is to have back arrows when they don't have the ball so they track back and then when they recieve the balls they should theoretically be coming back through the AM position yes?

Oh btw is ther much difference between position ratingfs? ie accomplished, natural, competent as this is one of the reason I asked this question anyway, it would interesting to know just how much it affects a player when he is playing in a competent position compared to stay a natural one.

Forward arrows mean that the player will move to that position when you are in possession. Hence with your set up your AM's will be strikers when you have the ball, and AM's when you don't.

Setting strikers with barrows will have more or less the same effect.


Not necessarily, since it depends how quickly in a game your team looses and gains possession.

If you want tocreate a 3 man strike force with two dropping deep I suggest you give the two forward runs "rarely" and the one man forward runs "often" (drop to mixed if too many offsides).

Or buy two AM's and play them at AM.
