DirtyJoe Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Hi All, I was hoping someone can shed some light on how to get players to swap positions? I am unable to find the election within the players individual tactics section, but there is no box for this option? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitri0l Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 team instructions allow wide players to swap...any other positional swaps you need to make yourself..eg complete forwards and inside forwards will tend to swap with the right player instructions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOSEPH! Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 As said above, the player's ability to swap positions is down to their player instructions and/or roles. The simplest example of this would be an AMC and a CF. The AMC would need to be set to SS and the CF to F9/DLF(s). Of course there are other variations to achieve a similar result but that is an easy way of making the point. Likewise, this can be achieved at full back and in the ML/R position. Think wing back with an attack duty - perhaps with PIs of Get Further Forward and Stay Wider - and wide midfielder on support - perhaps with a PI of sit narrower.

DirtyJoe Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 Cheers guys. I wanted to swap inside forward and forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kubo Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Dunno why SI changed this, cause in earlier versions of FM you could have more or less every player swap with another position. For instance, when playing 4-4-2 I usually told my strikers to swap places with eachother, just to mess with the opponent CD's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccer.joel Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I was trying to find this also. I hope SI go back to the option of swapping any 2 outfield players. I have 2 MC's who I trained to play DR. I like them at both roles but I have to manually swap them mid game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be brutally honest, this is a fairly good example of why it isn't an available tactical instruction in the new interface. Can you think of any examples in real life where you see this sort of combination? The interface is always open to grow and improve to keep up with growing changes in football itself, but it has to draw the line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking an MC and DR to switch positions might be odd, but what's wrong in asking two MC's or two strikers interchange? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do it auto if the attributes are decent i.e teamwork, workrate etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTHerringbone Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Except, in this case it retracted Which doesn't mean it can't expand again. Why are people always so pessimistic? It's a sad way to live if you always expect the worst. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTHerringbone Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Where did you find the pessimism? I simply stated what happened. The fact that things are no longer available that were before, doesn't mean they can't reappear in future. People always seem quick to point out the obvious and assume that things are set in stone, but they shouldn't always have such a cloudy outlook.

llama3 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Players set to roam from position are more inclined to swap positions and drift into each other's zones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
