gggfunk Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Hi there, I keep reading all the tactical guides that are here on the forum and they're really helpful. However, I'm not a native speaker of English and sometimes I've got problem with understanding the acronyms that you are using, I mean players positions. I know that F9 means false nine, BBM means Box to Box Midfielder, but what about others? For instance AF, Cf etc. Is there a list of all positions with their acronyms? If not, could you explain me that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebaker Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I don't know about a list but most are simply the first letter of each word in the position. AF - Advanced Foward, CF - Complete Foward etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Hook Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Karnack, thanks for posting that; I am going to make a sticky in the tactics forum that includes this if you don't mind- would be a good thing to have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Hook Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 No problem!Go ahead, Dr. Hook! I've updated the ones I couldn't remember from memory. Nice one. It never occurred to me that it can all get a bit jargony and some new players or non-native English speakers might be confused. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karnack Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 It can be really confusing at times, especially when most of my friends use Swedish. Looking at their tactics and wondering why there are MBs and KOYs in their back four... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
