I managed to do it. I cleared the whole squad. Gave the instructions for the position, cleared the squad again and when I picked the players again it assumed the instruction only for the position and not anywhere... Thanks!

Clicked the post button before finishing the post. Anyway, the star rating system is not static, if I was Arsenal, my scouts would find Crewe a very low quality squad. But from my own quality perspective that's how my scouts see my opponent. About instructions to the players in each position (besides the ones from their own role): WB(R/L)-CWB-At - Take more risks M(CR/CL)-MEZ-Su - Pass it shorter; Run wide with the ball; Tackle harder; Mark tighter AM(R/L)-IF-At - Hold up the ball; Roam from position; Sit Narrower; Tackle harder SC-PF-Su - Pass it shorter; Roam from position; Move into channels Other notes: - Because so many tactic dispositions don't have the WB position It's very hard to find WB natural at their position. Because I want them to go all the way to the line, I tend to adapt midfielders and attacking midfielders to that CWB role. I find D(R/L) players very defensive and at most I adapt them to DC-WCB-At. After all this player must be there to cover the WB when he moves up the pitch so he must have winger characteristics. - It's also hard to find proper SC-PF-Su. But I've found that DC have good attributes for what is required from this position. My Striker is my first and most important defender, his main task is to defend and I don't care if he doesn't score. Well... I do, but you understand what I mean. - Make sure to train Teamwork, Def. Shape and Att. Movement before every match for the added bonus they give to your team (I believe that passing shape that makes me so proud comes from the bonus these training sessions give). Also a type of Set pieces per match if possible. - I take very seriously the preferred foot for the players in the wings both the WB and the AM. The outside foot for the player that goes to the line to make the crosses and the inside foot for the player that is supposed to cut inside to the box. For instance, in your case I would never play Zinchenko as an IWB or Martinelli as a Winger. Zinchenko plays with the left foot, he's the one going to the line for the crosses. Martinelli plays with his right foot, he's the one going for the box. I don't care if it says AMR or AML, I look at the foot he actually uses. Same thing for the WB. - Even with my 2 WCB I aim to have a left foot in the left and a right foot in the right, although I'm less strict here. - I have recently found out that we can give the instruction for 2 different players to swap positions from time to time. I've given the instruction for my IFs to swap between each other, but what I actually wanted was that they also changed their role upon swapping positions, becoming Wingers instead of IF and enabling me to attack in a different way. But I still haven't found out how to do this. - My defenders have no tackling instruction, every player from the midfield up have the tackling harder instruction. I want my defenders to participate in building the offensive plays, even going up the pitch to support the attack in a fearless fashion. I want my most forward players to be my first and most important defenders. - Fast Centre backs are key with my current tactic. 75% of the goals I concede are players running from the central line all the way alone up to my keeper. But only 4 in 11 matches these season in the league. The players I need with the higher pace attribute are my Center-backs because I'm playing with the instructions of Much higher defensive line; High press; and Step up More. In the first season of this save I preferred to play with a not so good central defender in terms of marking and tackling in the BPD role because he was the fastest. My reasoning was, as long as he can outrun the opposition he doesn't need to use his marking or tackling skills. And, to my surprise, it actually worked. - What I still haven't achieved is a development of this current tactic where, with a few tweaks I can rise the volume, even if taking some risks, for when I'm loosing, or tying a match and I really need to score. I've never gotten consistent results whenever I try to tweak it a bit. For the cautious, defensive side, it's a lot easier. That's it. Even if I am very proud of that passing map capture, I didn't write all this to brag, but because I think my team is doing what you are aiming and maybe you find in all I've written, the images shared, hints that you can use and adapt to your very own tactic. I'm not an hard core player that knows every trick of the game. I'm still trying to figure out how training works in a consistent way. So take everything with a pinch of salt. If you want I can upload the tactic I use. I have no problem sharing it. Have fun!

Just out of curiosity I take inspiration from Amorim. The manager behind Sporting that has recently eliminated Arsenal from the Europa league. Anyway I started a save from the bottom of the bottom leagues: Vanarama South and picked the worst squad there. This is my 3rd season and I'm currently in League 2. So I'm still a long way away from the top teams and haven't tested this tactic at a high level. But I believe my team is doing what you are aiming to bigger opponents at my own scale. TACTIC: That's my last match passing map. I'm quite proud of it. More so, if you consider that the IFs have swapping position instruction. And every 15 minutes they swap to the other wing. So the map shows them clogged in the center (because they played in both wings and for the engine making their "average" position is there) but their true position should be somewhere midway the sideline and the center which gives me a passing shape very close to what I was aiming with the striker in PF-Su role opening the spaces for the IF-At to move forward. The star ratings are not static. That's from a match playing away and you can check my scouts assessment of their team My team odds at the start of the season. So the match was against 2nd place in this list. Crewe - Cheshunt xG 0.98 - 1.51 | Possession 37% - 63% My squad according to my scouts --- My oponnent squad quality according to my scouts ------------------------------------------------------

I use a tactic with two Inside forwards in the wings. Left foot in the right, Right foot in the left. Recently I've found out that we can tell two players to swap positions. I like mobility in the front, so I told the Inside Forwards to swap positions in the match but the feature is a bit underwhelming because upon swapping the players receive the same instructions. This means my Left foot AMR playing as an Inside Forward goes to the left wing and plays the same way... but his Left foot becomes an handicap. I wanted my inside forwards to swap between each other but I wanted them to play as Wingers on the other side. The idea was to make a different attacking question for the defenders, in search of a weakness. Can we do this? Actually I wanted to take this one step further. My idea was once I had this working to also try to tell my Wing Backs playing in attacking CWB role to also swap and become Inverted Backs. I'm not sure it would work but I would like to test it. The idea is to have the AM sitting narrower and going for the box while the overlapping WB stays wide. Once they swapped, it's the AM that goes wide and the overlapping WB cuts inside and aims to enter the box. Always having the best foot for each job at play. I also tried to do this by personalizing player instructions. I'm not sure I did it right though. But it seems the instructions are player based whatever position he may play. So if I try to personalize my AMR in the AML position as a Winger it will also override the instructions he has for the AMR position and he will play as a Winger everywhere. So... Is there a way to do this?
