[Quickfire Questions and Answers Thread (Tactic and Training Questions Only)]

I have a read a number of posts that advise players to avoid sliders, but I would like to know if that meant that people do not utilize the boxes under the individual tactics screen as well. For example, I am currently playing with both of my CBs with the tight marking option activiated, my TM with hold up play on, etc. Would forum members suggest skipping out on these commands as well?

I was also operating under the assumption that under the TC screen, it is OK if you plan to utilize say a AM as a playmaker, you tick that box, etc. Am I correct?

Thanks

Yes this would be fine, You're not fundamentally changing what they do with the boxes you're ticking.

1) I would look at the attributes to decide a player's role.

2) Maybe he has not support, too much creativity/flair. Or maybe you can choose a role that makes him do more. Eg, adv forward to rwb more or cf that makes him pass more.

So to what purpose are the stars? I'm not being difficult I find they have added another layer of complexity to the game in that I'm forever looking past players that have poor star ratings for a role but the attributes to play the role.

I think I've explained this issue poorly but you still may have given me the answer! I don't want him to stop and create chances or stop and shoot I want him to continue running towards goal and shoot closer in. If you imagine an imaginary line around 20 yards out they seem to shoot from there, I wanted to know if I could push this imaginary line back to say 16 yards and have them shoot from there. I've no issue with him deciding to shoot it's the best option I just think he could shoot from closer to goal.

Thanks for your help though.

Hi Gents, I have two "stupid" questions if I may!

1. How important is star rating to a role? If I have an wide player who has a 4* rating as an inside forward and only 2 1/2* as a winger but has all the attributes to play as a winger would I still be better off playing him as in inside forward?

2. Is it possible to stop your strikers shooting from far out on the break? I often create chances over the top but my strikers seem to stop outside the box and attempt to shoot when they could easily carry on and create a better opportunity.

Thanks
