Hmm, I thought the random seeds are not refreshed after a change but it turns out different because the teams are different. but you may be right as well.

but still nobody knows if there is a difference between a farrowed DMC and a barrowed MC

They start in different posititons from a goal kick any hoo. May be you'd play a DM farrowed against a long ball team who get the ball forward quick. Whereas you'd play a MC barrowed against a team with slow buid up play.

I've seen people have success with barrowed FB's but as anyone tried the same with there CB's?

In my last few games i decided to experiment this and it seems to be working well, especially useful for slow CB's. As it gives them a vital 3 or 4 yards advantage. Also very helpful to intercept the long ball by the A1 for the striker to run onto in between your CB's.

When playing a central targetman upfront (with focus passing to head) it pays of big time to short sarrow him towards the opposition DC with the lowest heading attribute. I found that when using a targetman in some matches he will be outjumped by a DC with a higher heading ability hence making your targetman completely useless. So sarrowing him towards the DC with the lower heading ability works great.

I have not noticed a difference in targetman positioning when sarrowing him... Not saying there isn't one, just didn't notice it.

I would like to touch upon (/return to) the discussion of the difference between a farrowed DMC and a barrowed MC. I think understanding of this is very important.

In possesion:
- A farrowed DMC will try to move forward to MC when you get possesion. Hence at a goalkick for your team he will runs to his MC position.

- A barrowed MC will also be in his MC position when in possesion

Not in possesion:
- The farrowed DMC will be in his DMC position

- The barrowed MC go to DMC when loosing possesion


So basically at first glance it seems that the two sets of instructions are identical. Anyone know where the differences lie? (if any)

I have been thinking whether the difference could be related to the players priority.

So the farrowed DMC focus on being a offensive DMC, meaning every time possesion is gained his first priority is to go forward and join the MCs. So he carries out his run promptly. If then possesion is lost, he goes back to his DMC. However it happens at a slower pace (he drifts back). He might even choose to close down at midfield before being back in his "defence" position.

Similarly the MC would have it the other way around. When loosing position, the first thing on his mind is to get back to DMC and THEN consider what to do next. Gaining possesion will have him move forward, but not at highest priority. He might join a couple of combinations while slowly drifting back to MC.

Unfortunately I havent been able to test this through very much, since im unable to play very much atm , so this should be regarded as theoretical speculations.

Anyway I would love to hear anyones experience on the matter.
