I'm a bit confused on certain settings for GK and DCs.
1. Do GKs need to have very low creativity? Do they need really low closing down?
2. How low of creative freedom do DCs need to have?
3. I've read that it's better to have DCs do diret passing. How much direct?
4. I understand that DCs need to close down rarely, but how rarely?
The reason I ask is this. I've recently did a little experiment and set my DCs to closing down of 4 (used to be 5), and also decreased their creativity to 6. I also reduced my GK's creativity to 6 and closing down to 7. After this I played 4 games against some mediocre opposition and I noticed that even though I 3 matches and tied 1, I allowed a lot of goals.
Then I went back to my original settings for both GK (creativity 8, closing down 8) and the DCs (creativity 7, closing down 5) and played the same 4 teams. This time I won all 4 and allowed less goals.
I've seen in threads around here with people having a pretty wide range of settings for these two positions. What I'd like to know is the overall consent on the settings?
Need some clarification on GK and DC settings
