Lineups and position logic have mostly to do with players' 1-4 primary/secondary positions, and their overall rating. Unfortunately some of the logic is just broken. The AI will do things like insert a lower-rated ST in the ST position, over a much higher rated LW or RW. But then it will choose a high rated RM to play AMF, over a lower-rated AMF. Or the AI will often insert the bench GK if he is rated almost as high as the starting GK. In most cases the AI is only guaranteed to insert higher-rated players if they are rated at least 15-20 points higher.I am wondering about how did you make that other teams play with their stronger line-up ?
There is only one problem, that I would like to be fixed if is it possible... Liverpool is constantly playing Firmino on LW, and Ings/Solanke as ST, Salah is on RW but Mane is always on the bench. I think it should be Mane on LW, Firmino as ST and Salah on RW, like in real life. Is it possible to change that ?
Thank you in advance.
It would take a ton of work to fix these issues, but I have done it with test teams. After many hours of experimental edits, I was able to force the AI to always select the exact lineup I wanted.
There is also a setting in the career files that supposedly forces the AI to select "best line up." But from my experience it has nothing to do with selecting "highest rated."
