Simply... Awesome! Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I know that if a player has a preferred number, assigning him the number would be good for moral. However, if a player has no preference, what difference does it making when deciding their squad numbers? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afced7 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I know that if a player has a preferred number, assigning him the number would be good for moral. Don't think that's true tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cycstorm Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I always make sure to give every player their preferred number, if I can, as it only takes a few seconds. Saying that, I can't see I've ever seen it have a miraculous impact on anything that they do. Nor have I ever had anyone throw a strop because they can't have their number.

tom_numbers Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 It's entirely superficial. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityAndColour Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 It's just there so your star striker, who has worn '18' for his entire glittering career, apparently isn't in your first XI when you get a news item about submitting your numbers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenzar Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Has anyone ever picked 1-11 since the creation of squad numbers? The only example I can think of was Sven at England. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_numbers Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Lenzar, it's only a recent development that players have set squad numbers. In leagues with less money, it's still usual that 1-11 will start the game. I think there is a wikipedia on it somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenzar Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I mean, have 1-11 been picked by a team actually using squad numbers? IMHO the Preferred number thing should annoy some players, as well as famous shirt numbers at individual clubs (such as 7 at Manure, arguably 8/14 at Arsenal and 10 for Argentina) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_numbers Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 You've confused me Lenzar. Before I make a fool of myself, could you elaborate? (I don't mind being patronised) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flamers Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 7, Beckhams number. Used for the creative midfield player, if I remember correctly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_numbers Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 FWIW, my belief of traditional numbers; 1 - GK 2 - RB 3 - LB 5 - CB 6 - CB 7 - right winger 4 - defensive midfielder 8 - attacking midfielder 11 - left winger 9 - forward 10 - forward Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieVilla Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I love assigning squad numbers in a certain 'style' makes some fun even if it doesnt have any effect on gameplay eg i have (GK use 1, 13, 30, 40) (DL - 3, 23) (DR - 2, 22) (DC 6, 5, 16, 15, 25) (DM - 4, 12, 26) (MC - 8, 20, 28) (AMC - 10, 18) (ML - 14, 24) (MR - 7, 17, 27) (TS - 9, 19, 29) (FS - 11, 21) sometimes use 11 for ML and 14 for striker if they are special player, in homage to Henry like i say, is only for my personal enjoyment that i set them this way, would hate for the AI to pick numbers for me, maybe a little OCD in me lol PS - hate that Spanish League makes you use only 1-25, tsk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
