PPM: Likes To Switch Ball To The Other Flank

The player will be more likely to attempt to pass the ball to a player on the opposite side of the pitch.

This can allow your team to attack down the other flank where more space is likely to be available.

Useful for wide players and central midfielders playing off-centre.

 

So does this mean that if a player has this ppm but plays in the central strata then the pm does not come into effect ?

If it still works for central strata players, there isn't really an 'Other Flank'  so does seem mean like will simply just look to play the ball out to the flanks more often. Or does it mean they will play the ball out to the other flank based on in game movements ? e.g central player picks up the ball slightly to the left off his postilion then sprays the ball out to the right flank.
