Does CF sit more front or ST in fifa's formation?

[jrose57]

i am so confused the usage of players with these two positions, which one is supposed to sit at the front, and which one is supposed to sit more behind? And I want to know the function of the two positions too, thanks!

I mean centre forwards usually drop deeper behind the striker. Look at a guy like Rooney when he was in his peak form. He was a prototypical CF, slotting in behind van Persie. Guys like van Persie or Diego Costa are your prototypical strikers with the sole mentality of putting the ball in the back of the net. While a CF can score, they tend to create more opportunities than an out-and-out striker.

CF - Muller, Gotze

ST - Lewandowski, Benzema, Suarez

So what's the difference between CF and CAM?

Since the latest update the Striker sits much deeper in the midfield. It's happening to me in almost every game since the patch. Might need to change the instructions manually for him to push in behind the back line.

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.
