themoffster Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 If I set my centre mid to have the player role as defensive playmaker it automatically sets the playmaker dropdown in the team instructions to be that man, but the dropdown is greyed out as the checkbox is not ticked. Do I need to tick the checkbox or will my teM use this man as the playmaker? I am unsure if the checkbox not ticking is a bug or not. Same thing with the target man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
either and or Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 If it is greyed out and doesn't say the name of the player you want, tick it and change it. Or you could just set that player to be a "deep lying playmaker", it'll set him to be the team's main playmaker, but make sure to check the grey box anyway.

themoffster Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 I'm confused. The box is not ticked but the player name is selected in the dropdown - do I need to tick the box or will he be used as a playmaker? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
walsh Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 if his name is greyed out, he is the playmaker for the team, decided purely by the roles you have assigned. He will play as the playmaker unless you tick the box and select someone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarian Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 It doesn't matter if the tick box is selected or not. If there is a player name under Playmaker or Targetman they are set as the Playmaker or Targetman. The tick box is there to overide the automatic choice if you want, i.e. I will often set then to none even if I have chosen a Playmaker or Targetman just to mix things up a bit.

Konfuchie Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Just don't play trequarista in same time with a playmaker, and avoid support targetman too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoham Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Just don't play trequarista in same time with a playmaker, and avoid support targetman too. A support targetman alongside an advanced forward works very well for me, why should you avoid them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfgrigg Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I think he means that if you play two playmakers or two targetmen, you can find that the game sets the wrong one as the main playmaker or man targetman in the tactics screen. If that makes sense! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konfuchie Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 A support targetman alongside an advanced forward works very well for me, why should you avoid them? Support Target-man is basically play-maker. That's why he should not be played alongside play-maker. Inside forward is another thing. It is more like transition between offensive midfield player and forward. Trequartista is a loner, roamer, and basically a guy that would **** off his own manager in case he wasn't told to play that way. NO help on defense, free role, dwelling on the ball, mostly making chances for himself... This just doesn't go along with play-maker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always play Gerrard as Trequartista behind Torres as advanced forward and they are doing great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konfuchie Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Try Gerrard as advanced play-maker and Torres as complete forward. 5 games. I think they would rock. Maybe balanced with counterattack ticked on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
