Specific Player Instructions Football Manager 2014 Guide

Specific Player Instructions
As previously discussed, each player in your tactic is given a set of player instructions that
are determined by your chosen team instructions, his position in your formation and the
role and duty combination he has been assigned.
In some cases you may want to further refine certain player instructions in order to
slightly modify how a player plays in a way that cannot be achieved by simply giving him a
different role and duty. This is done by selecting Add Instruction on the Instructions panel
and choosing from the selection of available specific player instructions.
Some instructions will be greyed out and so unavailable, either because they are not
suitable for the selected position, not suitable for the selected role and duty, or already
active for the selected role and duty. Hovering over a greyed out instruction will reveal a
tool-tip that explains which of these is the case. Furthermore, some instructions conflict
with each other and therefore cannot be selected together. Any instructions that conflict
with an instruction that has already been selected will be highlighted in red.
When to Modify Instructions
You may want to make such modifications so that a particular players instructions better suit his abilities or so as to adjust the instructions
given by a role and duty to better fit your overall tactical setup.
If you are modifying instructions to suit a particular players abilities then this is best done by adding specific instructions for that player only
using the Add Player button on the Instructions for panel. If you want to modify the instructions given by a role and duty to suit your tactics
then you will want to ensure that the changes are applied for all players by using the any player in this position option.
You might also want to use specific player instructions that contrast with your overall team instructions, so that one or more players will be an
exception to your teams general tactical approach. For example, you could instruct a more creative player with good passing to make More
Direct Passes when using the Shorter Passing specific team instruction, so that he acts as your teams main creative passer to a greater extent
than would be the case by just giving him a more creative role.
Similarly, a specific player instruction can be used as an alternative to its equivalent specific team instruction, so as to gain more control over
which players the instruction is given to. For example, you may want your team to be more aggressive by closing down earlier and making earlier
tackles, but only want to instruct a few of your players who have better fitness and tackling ability to do this, so that the strategy can be
effective without disrupting your teams defensive structure too much.
Balancing Instructions
You should be careful when altering instructions however, and ensure that your changes do not cause your tactic to become unbalanced. If you
are making a lot of alterations then it may be the case that a different role and duty would be more suitable.
Ensuring that your instructions are well balanced can be a difficult task. However, by using the various roles and duties tactical analyses earlier
in this guide and by checking which greyed out instructions are already active as described above, you can gain a good idea of how instructions
for groups of players in each area of the pitch should be balanced and what each of your players has been instructed to do.
Analysis of Instructions
Provided below is a description of each instruction and an analysis of when you may want to use it.
Possession
The following instructions affect how a player should behave when he is on the ball.
Hold Up Ball
Your player will be more likely to try to shield the ball while waiting for supporting teammates to get forward or move into space, and less
likely to turn and dribble towards the opposition goal, make an early pass or shoot at goal.
This can lead to a better decision being made and more effective build-up play, but it can also cause opportunities for quick passes or
shots, or direct dribbling, to be missed.
Most tactics will use a holding midfielder and possibly an attacker to hold up the ball. However, too many players instructed to hold up the
ball can slow down attacking play too much.
