Career mode question

[grizzlies317]

This is unrelated to the original post, but is still a career mode question. I've been playing fifa for a long time, but never bothered asking; if I play with 3 in the back but I have a right back on the bench in a simulated match...how would the computer handle it if my right back was subbed on? Would the computer change the formation to accommodate him or would it stick him in a position doesn't play?

Also, I just promoted a youth player who is clearly going to be a future star, but it bothers me that his work rate is low/low. I like to press and win the ball back quickly but his work rate would just have him standing around right? I know I can change this if I edit the formation but he can play multiple positions and doesn't start every game. Should I just sell him and make a bit of cash? Or has anyone with a similar issue found a workaround?

Do better scouts find better players or more accurately assess the players they find?

formation doesn't change, they will just put him where it makes the most sense. So your RB would play either CB, CDM, or even wide midfielder depending on his stats.

I cant speak for NG version, but if work rate is the same as old gen, then it doesn't mean anything as far as playing the game is concerned. Nobody really knows how work rate effects the game, but I have a feeling it might effect sims. You can change the work rates of each position, that seems to have a bigger effect then individual work rates.

Better scouts find more players and can scout more players at once. The higher the experience the more players he can scout at one time, better judgement means quicker scouting. As far as "better" players, it seems to me it depends more on what league you START in than the scouts skill level.

Does anybody play a player career with an existing player? I curious as to how progression works since there aren't any accomplishments as far as I see.
