Need help about arrows.

[Peter Renn]

It sounds correct n makes sense, so yea if u dont have a specific player arrows can do, but they don't replace a player for the position u simulate with arrows

And so, what's with red for striker and blue for dc, where is the logic there?

Well a striker will hardly ever be in that starting position that the game demands he be placed in. The red arrow merely means he'll break forward faster than if he didn't have it. For example if the opposition is attacking he might be back near the half way line but will break faster when his team get the ball. He might be back making a defensive header at a corner but he'll break faster when attacking. An important point in this theory is that since the arrow causes him to lose condition faster, he might become more tired than an 'unarrowed' ST....so the arrow advantage might be lost late on and he might even be slower than an unarroed st at the end....who knows. You can also think what happens at kick off.....the forward line are on the half way line taking the kick, whether they have arrows or not.....red arrowed strikers will get forward from the kick off quicker, if they have the ball ofc.

It's just a more helpful thing for me than the 1 box forward propsition. But I better stop there or people might think that just because I can rationalise it and fire out lots of words then it must be right - which is not true.

EDIT: Apologies to anyone forced to read this guff. I was answering questions and forgot where I was. Nothing here is true - no matter how convincing it might appear. Its just a way of thinking that helps me get through my daily games.
