And all but the CF on attack duty. Because why not?

What does the BER stand for? Previously you've denoted nationalites in capitals and I thought you'd encountered a bermudain world beater. Very disappointing to see st Georges cross in the screenshot.

I am not able to instruct some (youth) players to learn new ppms. It appears to happend when the training level is already at high or very high, but sometimes even at medium. I'm finding this confusing. What limits a player to start learning ppm?

In previous iteration it was possible to micromanage the distribution on time spent for individual, position and ppm training on individual level. Is that option gone?

You did say however in your opening post that you wanted him to distribute the ball to either of your WBs?

So you want to play route one football? I'm sorry I don't quite understand. Playing the ball to either of your WBs isn't necessarily playing from defence in the same way Bayern do at the moment. It just means you have an open outlet. The WB who receives the ball may then bomb forward and play a direct ball to your target man and then continue to play as you want.

All distributing to your WB does is ensure you keep the ball straight after the keeper distributes it. How he then plays after that is in accordance with your strategy as a whole.

Yes, I'm sort of trying to play route one Drillo-esque football. I am ok with the keeper distributing to wb occationally, but I dont want that to be the primary option. I do take your point that it doesnt have to compromise my strategy and i will give it a whirl. Thanks for the input.

No, I dont push up. I'm at standard mentality and default D-line. The wing backs are generally open. Even so he shouldnt just float it to center pitch as that truly is risky when the team is moving forward.

If I do set it to dist to defs, he plays it short to either wingback. This however is contradictory to my strategy as I dont want to play out of defence

I'm getting really frustrated with my keepers distribution. Quite often he just floats a ball, aimlessly, to the center off the pitch. As my CMs are short I loose the header most of the times. This often results in me being carved completely open from the header followed by a one-two pass behind my attacking wing back.

This could be prevented by setting my keeper to distribute to the defenders, but that isn't what I want either. I would like the keeper to distribute it either to my target man, one of the wing backs or just long and wide. Never ever should the ball be played from GK to CMs.

How should I instruct him? I can't seem to find a suitable choice.
