Hopefully somebody can point me in the right right direction with this.

Right I play a 4-4-2 system global mentality, we have a throw in midway in there half, for some unknown reason one of my cd has decided to move up to their 18yrd box, leaving a cm to defend in his place, suddenly their gk receives the ball as the throw in went ****s up, throws it up the field and a goal to them, as my cd is still toddling back from the throw in situation.
Surely this not classed as a set piece, as I want him up there if we got a free kick for his heading ability, but not for a throw in halfway into their half.

And another thing I noticed when I put the game on pause to see if my players were in the position I wanted them in, we were attacking, ( I have an dmc and amc in the central midfield posions of my 4-4-2) I set my dmc to no forward runs very little creativity, and my amc to forward runs always, and my amc is way behind the dmc in the attack, I know pace may have something to do with it, surely if I don't want him to make forward runs he should stay back.

All help would been be gratefully received, ta

1) Have you actually checked your throw in set peice instructions to make sure you haven't told him to go up on throw ins?

2)What;s the CF like for the DMC? keep it low if you want him to stick to your instructions and play it simple.

Sorry did look after and didn't realise that throw in is classed as a set piece, and dc was set to go forward, tbh never noticed the throw in set piece before.
As far as dmc I do have him low creativity, I'll just tweak it down a little more, cheers justified.
