Position/Role/Duty familiarity

[Zalagol 11]

Hi All,

does anyone know how position/Role/Duty familiarity works?

I have a player that is natural in central midfield position and has good attributes as central midfielder (Attacking). Nevertheless, he is awkward in Position/Role/Duty familiarity.

 

Is setting position/Role/Duty as central midfielder (Attacking) in the individual training the only way to improve it?

How important is it? this player has good attributes for diverse roles in the central midfield . So I would like to use him with different roles according to the opposition team..

 

Thanks

I made some trials to better understand this feature. I came to some conclusions:

- the only way to improve position/Role/Duty familiarity is through individual training

- general training does not matter. In a trial I set as individual training mezzala (support) and general training only Endurance, Quickness or Resistance. The player improved in position/Role/Duty familiarity. See pictures attached.

- the term position/Role/Duty familiarity is misleading. It should be called just ROLE familiarity. There is no sense for a player to be natural in central midfield position and awkward as mezzala in position/Role/Duty familiarity. The duty parameter is not taken into account at all.

 

What is still unclear to me is how this parameter affects the players.

 

this question has been already raised, but no clear answer has been given:

Looks like a similar position to the two players I have played in 2 different saves, seems a tad buggy but I have got no clear response.

The problem isn't his attributes...

He's awkward because he hasn't played that role in your team. If you want him to become familar you have to play him there.

E.g - If you have a mezella and you change him to an advanced playmaker, he may have perfect attributes, but if he hasn't played there in your system then he's not going to be as effective until he's used to doing that job within that system.

In my posts they have played there in the role/position/duty all season!

Thanks for trying to help, but what you wrote is wrong. 

the only way to improve  position/Role/Duty familiarity is through individual training.

He played 17 matches in the MC and he is awkward in all roles I select in the MC. See attached pic. This is because he was trained as segundo volante in the DMC position. There he is fluid with only 4 matches.

To be noticed that he is natural in MC and only accomplished in DMC.

Interesting, I always thought it was a combination of training and in game time. Did you play him as a SV in preseason?

I believe SI have said that playing a player out of position will affect his decision making as he's unsure of what to do, but beyond that if his attributes fit then he won't be negatively impacted by playing the wrong position

Thanks, I do agree. But in this case the player is not out of position. He is natural in the CM position. He seems out of role and SI did not say anything about role familiarity. That's why I asked in this forum....

Yes, he is only  accomplished in the DMC position. I wanted him to improve familiarity in that position.
