Various player roles can be assigned and each role can be used with one or more player duties.

The Stopper and Cover duties can only be used for players in centre back playing positions.

An Automatic duty essentially acts as an Attack duty when using more attacking team mentalities and a Defend duty when using more defensive team mentalities.

The role ability star ratings give your assistant managers opinion of each players ability in the role and duty (a combination of his current ability and the suitability of his playing attributes for the roleduty).

You can also assess a players suitability for a roleduty yourself by going to his Profile and selecting the roleduty, which will highlight the suitable attributes.

In addition, you can check his traits on the right-hand side of his Profile for any which may be suitable or unsuitable for a roleduty.

Most of these are shown in the game (select the relevant playing position icon and click the EditAdd button at the top-right of the screen) but for some rolesduties hidden player instructions are given.

Positional responsibilities are the tasks that should be carried out in each positional area.

Defend and Attack duties give a player a mixture of higher and lower focus levels.

Support duties give a player versatile focus levels (in most cases).

A lower focus level means that the player carries out the responsibility in a less direct way (and is therefore not necessarily a bad thing).

A versatile focus level is a balance between the two and means that the player can carry out responsibilities in a more balanced way and can essentially alternate between a higher focus level and a lower focus level when required.

He is the last line of defence and is relied upon to help the team keep clean sheets.

He can pass it short to his defenders, try to play out of defence, or he could play longer passes towards a target man or a wide player.

Alongside standard goalkeeping duties, he will sweep up balls in front of and wide of the penalty area and initiate counter-attacking moves with direct through balls to breaking players.
