[Suggestion] "Shift Left" or "Shift Right" Individual Player Instruction For Central Players (i.e. the middle most player)

[Juego de Posicion]

Hello,

My suggestion for future versions is a "Shift Left"/"Shift Right" Individual Player Instruction option for players in the middle most, central positions. This would assist in asking a DLP (S), for example, in the middle most MC position, to "shift left" to make room for a right-sided Inverted Wingback coming inside more centrally, to ensure the two players are more evenly spaced across the middle of the pitch and avoid potential inefficient bunching up/taking up each other's space.

Currently, there is a "Stay Wider" Individual Player Instruction for the wider central players, but no such option to "Shift Left"/"Shift/Right" for the middle most central player to compliment the other existing instructions. This addition would be really helpful and complimentary and solve a rather frustrating problem at present (i.e. efficient spacing when a MC player needs to move across to share space with an IWB so as to better occupy the full space available and not bunch up together too closely).

To a tiny extent, this can occur automatically on the ball near side already, with a central playmaker (they shift towards the ball), but that is not helpful on the side where the second player (inverted wingback) is already situated (causing bunching up & taking each other's space) - it is only helpful when the ball is on the side opposite to the player that the central-most player should be moving away from. Hence the need for a separate instruction to make this clear to the players exactly where they should be in relation to one another.

It could also be useful for the middle DC to shift across if one of the three centrebacks moves forward/wider in possession so they can slide over and cover the vacated space better, rather than leaving open a potential passing lane for an opposition counter-attack, if/when the ball is lost.

A central-most striker could also benefit if you wanted to target one side of the opponent channel between DC-fullback that is particularly vulnerable or you simply want to overload that area's side to make room on the other side for onrushing midfield players/inverting wingers.

This addition would be very much appreciated if you'd be kind enough to consider it.

If this was an easy fix and could be added onto a patch for the current game as well, even better!

Thank you.
