On my game, which is currently in the year 2016, I am manager of Vauxhall Motors and Ghana. I have managed Ghana for about 5 years now and have done 2 ACoNs and 1 World Cup.

I like to give my best player the number 1 shirt, in this case Essien, so he wore the number 1 shirt in the first ACoN and in the World Cup that I managed. I have just played the second ACoN and I noticed that about half of the teams are using the number 1 for outfield players, upon closer inspection I noticed that for all but 1 it is for the best player in the team.

After noticing this I looked at past games which I had saved or taken screenshots of, I looked on my other saved games and couldn't find any team doing this in the World Cup or ACoN.

Have I changed what the number 1 shirt means, is this just a coincidence or just a greyed out player receiving the lowest possible number?

Has anyone else had anything like this or seen any teams using number 1 for an outfielder.

I am planning to try this with Vauxhall to see if other Premiership teams copy my idea.

Just looked at other international tournaments and there are no outfielders with the number 1 shirt, it is just the ACoN.

probably because the number 1 shirt is traditionally worn by the goal keeper.therefore no one has copied you idea..but i dont understand why teams in the ACoN have copied your idea

It is odd that only the teams in the ACoN have copied me, maybe at the next world Cup teams will do it too, I will check the Euros at the end of this season because that is the next International tournament after the last ACon.

I will share my findings as soon as possible.

Me too. The static nature of the game world is the worst part right now imo. This would give us hope that there is a dynamic aspect to the world.

The Argentine side in the 78 (I think) World Cup finals was numbered alphabetically. I remember Ossie Ardilles being #2 and I think another outfield player was #1.

Charlton did the alphabetic numbering one season, with Stuart Blamer (central defender) being number 1

I know that teams have done it before and that some teams still do use the number 1 shirt for outfield players.

My point is that they the teams weren't doing this on my game until I did it and they used it for their best players not just any outfielder.

Out of interest, what number do these teams (and yourself) use for their goalies?
