Default Swap positions - using this effectively

When exactly do you use this? I tried doing this for my two strikers in some games, but found no noticeable difference

Ever thought of using sarrows on striker whilst ticking "Swap Positions"? As in

Not sure if this would work though as i've not tried it myself but it would surely make the right striker go left and the left striker go right. If they are being man marked, would this not drag their markers out of position or cause confusion? Might be work a try.

Apologies for the mistake. Not been in bed for 2 days!

Definatly do not try this. The two strikers follow each other smack bang in the centre of the pitch. Try it as an experiment and might as well have employed a siamese twin as my strikers!

AS with anything it has its benefits with those sarrows. Most noticeable was the spaceit creeates for other players. it drags the markings central defenders bang in the middle leaving space for your wingers or att to score bang alot of goals. once again use it according to oppositon players and opp tactics

i would definitely use it when i find my strikers manmarked, but for a bug that doesnt allow u to return back to normal.
but the beauty here is, the dc that man marks your player follows him even though he's change possition, leaving a hole which can be exploited by your striker who is not marked, is it clear?
even for strikers and your AMC is good for swapping. both wingers i dont find that effective

it's most effective against players that have low concentration levels, as well as positioning and pace, too, from my experience.

If you have wingers that can play on either wing, swapping positions is A MUST!

Any attacking players that are similar, can swap positions. It creates confusion among the opposition. Haven't found drawing arrows of any use regarding this, only "swap" in the player instructions.

Haven't seen any increase in terms of goals or chances created though, so might be wrong.
