On this page of the guide to Football Manager 2022 , you will learn how to correctly set your players and what positions to choose for them.

In football, there are many positions or roles, such as central midfielders, attacking central midfielders, winger, side midfielders, forwards and center forwards - it's no different in Football Manager 2022 . In order for a footballer to play at 100% of his abilities and reveal his true potential, he must play in a position he knows.

All the most important information about each player can be found in his profile. Before you set a player in a specific position, check his predispositions . An example is Rafinha, a PSG player.

1. Rafinha feels best as a central midfielder and a central attacking midfielder (big bright green dot in the picture above)
2. Rafinha can successfully play on the right flank (slightly smaller, dark-green dot);
3. He feels a bit worse on the left side of the field due to the fact that he is a left-footed player (small, slightly green dot);
4. Rafinha doesn't feel well as an advanced striker (small orange dot in the picture above).

As you can see, Rafinha is a very versatile player who can play in different positions if necessary. It should be noted here that some players feel comfortable playing only one role, eg Icardi.
