Players Instructions

Is there any way of swapping a players position during a match without swapping their individual instructions? Also, It would be useful if you could set up individual players instructions so that when making a substitution you don’t have to tweak the oncoming players instructions?

No way to do this for subs.

An extreme solution is to create various tactics to suit, but you wouldn't really bother with that

Currently you can only set instructions for positions not for players. This was mentioned many times on the whislist so fingers crossed for fm12

Ok, thanks for the information lads

I think you can hold down one of shift, ctrl or alt when swapping the positions and they will take their current individual instructions with them... by swapping I mean dragging with the mouse over another player on the tactics> formation screen..

I forget which key it is, sorry...

As long as you dont swap them by dragging them straight onto the player you want to swap, this can be done.

For example if I want to swap my LW and RW but keep their individual settings, if you move your LW to a vacant 'position' within your tactic, say at AM, then move the RW to LW position and the LW (Currently sat in the AM position) to RW.

However, the players are reverted back to their original positions if you change to another tactic.

Yes, I've noticed you can do this but you then have to remember to change the player role as I've noticed it changes when moving to a vacant position.

I'll give this a try later

thanks

it's like Jozza says, I've just tried it with my classic tactic and if you hold ctrl and drag the player into space he will take the instructions with him, drag the guy you want to swap him with into the vacated space (again holding ctrl) and he will also keep his instructions, then drag the original player into the space vacated by the second player (+ctrl).. job done
