Playmakers

On the playmakers list on the tactic screen, is every player on that list considered a playermaker during matches (i.e players will look to pass the ball to those players more often) or is it just the highest player on the list that's on the pitch at the time?

Its interesting that teams like Barce and Arsenal use more than one playmaker during a match so i want to know if there's a way to simulate this.

Yes you can set multiple playmakers. I sometimes have an 'Advanced Playmaker' and 'Deep Lying Playmaker' in my team. You can set your 'Primary Playmaker' on the team instruction screen.

Yes but when you set your "primary playmaker", will that one person get all the balls played to them or can you put more than one person on that list so the ball is distributed to more than one player

I think it is a Priority List. The top name is the "primary" playmaker. If he is not on the pitch, then Number 2 on the list is etc, like set pieces. At least that is how it used to be.
