You wouldn't play with all 3, the CF is the CAM, it's basically the same position. Irl the CF/CAM is usually played by a #10. In game I'd just use whichever of your CAMs is the best goalscorer.

Honestly, irl formations are very fluid and have more to do with defensive positioning than anything else.

Man United has been bad. Ibra comes way back into the center circle to receive passes even when I'm on the attack. That one stands out as the worst but I've seen in it with just about every team. There's a few comments about it over in the Slider Forum. I'm sure it's something that can be corrected.

eh, wouldn't say that.

Dybala, Rooney (in his day), Muller, Gotze are a lot different than Coutinho, Isco, Iniesta, Kaka.

Oh yeah for sure. A CF is basically a second striker that doubles as a playmaker, while a CAM/#10 is a playmaker that doubles as a goalscorer.

It varies depending on the player and the team, but generally the roles are quite similar and occupy similar space on the field. That's all I was really communicating.

In game however, it doesn't really matter at all.

Exactly. The difference in position naming is really just nitpicking. CF and CAM occupy the same position on the field

They occupy the same space but where they sit has nothing to do with how they play, their role and how they blend in with the team.
