You just simply go to your formation screen and use the tabs above to select the individual roles.

Hover over your CDM with the Left Analog Stick then use your Right Analog to select the new Deep Lying Playmaker. It’s as simple as that.

However, it might be easy to set up or install a Deep Lying Playmaker in your system, but you must use a suitable formation to get the best out of your player!

We recommend one from the following: 4-3-3 (4), 4-1-4-1 or 3-1-4-2. These formations deploy a singular CDM and therefore will give your Deep Lying Playmaker more passing options both short and long.

Make sure that you also set one of your strikers over 6ft and set as a Target Man to give you a “get out of jail free card” to either catch your opponent by surprise or give you a focal point in case of a high physical game.
