Do you find this in the "X feels he should be first team player..." area, or is it in the PPM area ? </BLOCKQUOTE>
It's located in "Personal information" screen, same as "Dubbed the new &lt;some player&gt;".

I think the first one is smthg like no forward runs because the player arrives forward late.

Some of these moves don't work. "Likes to round keeper" - I think it's called. In my Spurs game Berbatov have this move - and so do all my young strikers (Really nice feature!)

Unfortunately the engine seems unable to really simulate it. At least I still haven't noticed any of my strikers going past the keeper in one and ones.

look at Singapore's keeper Lionel Lewis' PPM, and laugh.

Anyway, I'm not 100% sure of the relation between the PPM's and your tactics, but I believe that they would of course favour the complimentary tactic ("plays killer balls often" for checking "play through balls") but also they help you predict what might happen if you leave it as "mixed" as the "mixed" setting would intruct your player to do what he feels is best.

Other points: Cristiano Ronaldo can play on either flank, but has a "Runs with ball down right" move, but no "left" one, so if you want him to dribble more, he might do so when plyed on the right.

Likes ball played into feet - Targetman pref.
Plays Killer balls often - Playmaker?
etc etc

I've only seen one attempt at rounding a keeper in the 5 seasons I've played, might have something to do with the "shot selection" issue that's addressed in the upcoming patch.

That is why i sign the crap old stars in the beginning of the game as backups. to teach ppm's to my youngsters. Mostovoy has a lot ppm's to teach and there are some more players like him.

I've seen it once. Lua Lua went around Reina (against me unfortunately) but I'm not convinced he meant to do it.
It was a long diagonal ball into the box from their left back and he got it on the edge of the 6 yard box with Reina already advancing. It could have just been Lua Lua's first touch that threw Reina off since he was rushing out, which technically wouldn't be "rounding the keeper" I guess.

I would like a team full of wind up opponents! Especially before the patch arrives!

How long do these signings have to be at your club?

Is there an upper limit to how old a player can be before he can't tutor young players anymore?

I ask because I signed Drogba & Shevchenko from Chelsea in 2011 to get them to teach my young strikers, and the option isn't there to 'learn from Drogba' etc.
