Target-Man / Playmaker

When I select the Role of the player in my tactics are they put on target-man/playmaker duty automatically? Or do I need to add them myself? Thanks

you need to pick them.

The exception to this is the target man who will recive crosses when certain conditions are met. I am not sure of them, but just be aware that switch roles around during a game that see's target man pop up now and again will aslo affect crossing aim.

Do you have players in target man or deep lying or advanced playmaker roles? If not, you'll have to select manually but make sure that the player is suited to carrying out those duties

You can make any player regardless of their postion and/or role a target man or playmaker.

you can even have a player playing as a target man role and then choose his poaching team mate as the 'target man'
