Hi everybody, sorry if I brought up something that is maybe already in a post somewhere, but I couldn’t find the subject of making your line up. I am trying to put my players on different lines (+1, 0 or -1), but don’t know anything about how to make such a decisions. Could anyone help me a bit, all advice is welcome!

Thanks in forward!

By dragging them onto the field by holding the left button of the mouse ?

LOL Alban…..I’m sure that’s not his question. Blakos, all I know is that it really matters for defenders. If you have defenders on D+1 it is very important your goalkeeper has good dribble. The rest is all up to you….

These numbers are the player mentality. For example, a defender on +1 tends to move to the attack more often, while a defender on -1 tends to hold his defensive position. The same works for the different zones, +1 always mean attacking mentality and -1 defensive mentality. The player positioning is also different, player on +1 are in a more advanced position than players on 0, and the opposite is true for players on -1.
What Sly means about goalkeeper with good dribble is that if you don’t use defenders on 0 and -1 your keeper will be considered in 1-1 situation when your opponent shoots and will rely on good dribbling skill for not being penalyzed.
Hope this helps.

By the way, Gabriel, my GK has 99 dribble and he is pretty good when I use only D +1. I still think the goalkeepers are too strong in this game !

Thanks for helping Sly and Gabriel! Now lets hope my team wins a little bit more… ;-p

@Alban: hopefully we’ll be able to reduce the number of shots after the match engine enhancements and make the keepers weaker ;)
@Blakos: you’re welcome!
