Subject: Training Playmaking

Is this a good idea?

I'm training playmaking on my defs at the minute and there are some league games coming up that I will be hard pressed to win.

I'm considering playing my defs as Mids and switch to train Mids playmaking.

I could do in two ways

1) just switch DEF to MID on the squad tactics screen
or
2) play my defs in a mid position (with MID training obviously)

Any comments?

HAving your last men back on MID order would not work well, better to entirely switch them if you do go for that option.

i think that of you want to do anything like this for training purpose then this is definitely the 8 weeks to do it in. i would agree with gravyboy that obption B is the better. but not sure how much better PM trains on mids than defs so not sure if i would do either - you never know what happens in the league... a sending off, a penalty scored etc.

Well most of my mids are converted defs, so I would have a comparable defence. There is just a little better PM and passing in my mids. I doubt I'd feel the difference.

then if you decide to do it switch the players not the orders

defenders with reasonable pm play perfectly well with MID orders
