Thema: Swapping Positions

If I want a midfielder to swap positions with a defender in the middle of the game is it as simple as saying "Always swap Bla Bla on to position 3" ?

Also can I then substitute the player who has swapped to mid for somebody from the bench easily by doing a normal sub.

I.e 3 & 8 swap above....then....

I bring 13 on to position 8....so therefore the original defender comes off? Is that right?

You can definitely do this, leave a minute or 2 between the two orders to ensure there are no problems.

But I can't remember if players take the number with them - so 3 is now in midfield and 8 is in defence, or if the number stays with the position. - This obviously makes a bit of difference to the 2nd part :)

You need confirmation from someone who's tried the 2nd part ...dylanos possibly?

Thank Steelers, I think it should be fine from what I have seen. The order should be straight forward i.1 Player 13 on to Pos 8.

Before that player 3 goes to pos 8?

These are the actual orders....

60' always
Position 9 on position 8
66' always
No.13 on position 9

I still get confused with this order but the way I get around it is to substitute the player first, leave a couple of minutes then swap the player that was not substituted and change the position to the substituted number.

So for example - I want to change positions 8 & 9 with eachother and then put a substitute on for position 9. So player 8 (not position) will become the substituted player!

60' always....replace player 8 with new player

65' always....swap player 9 with position 8.

60' always
Position 9 on position 8
66' always
No.13 on position 9

this will take off the wrong player

If you put 9 on 8
he remains numbered 9

exactly!

it is like real life - they don't swap bloody shirts if they change places!

muppets...

Ok thanks Vancian, I have changed it now to:

60 - Swap Position 8 to Position 9

and then

66 - Player 13 coming onto position 8?

---

so mid (8) swaps with defender (9)

and then

sub (13) replaces the mid (8) playing in defence

is that what you want?

This is actually what I want to happen.....

I have a winger No. 9 who I want to go to CM No.8.

6 minutes later I want a sub to come on into the wing position. Is this order set right in your opinion? I have never done this before myself....

60 - Swap Position 8 to Position 9

and then

66 - Player 13 coming onto position 8?

looks right

why 6 minutes later?

true
the advantage of doing it properly is that the order doesn't matter - or simultaneous orders

I want to ensure its not confused, and I felt 6 minutes was enough time for the ball to have been knocked out since the change?

Thanks for your help, you were correct. :)
