Why are some set piece positions hidden?

I've known they're there but never really bothered to figure out if there was any benefit to using them. Might explain why I never get much from set pieces.

Anyway placing a player on the far most go forward slot opens up a second row of positions that you have to swap players back and forth across the line to get them into slots 2-5 (1 being the near most slot). Why are these hidden and why do you have to go through this incredible task of manipulating players to get it to become available?

With any player set to 'Go Forward' you can ignore the position within the visualization on the pitch, as they will attack a corner anywhere in the mixer. With 'Go Forward', their position in the visualization doesn't mean they will go specifically to the near or far post.

Unfortunately the visualization of set pieces is quite bugged. Hopefully a feature in next year's edition of Football Manager includes an overhaul of the set pieces creator.
