ClubsWhich part of the mode? Club MatchHow often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Create a new tactic, activate it and go into a gameWhat happens when the bug occurs? When you create and use a new tactic, it uses the incorrect AI players for the formation entirely. I created a 442 tactic, went into a game and I had the AI CAM at ST and RDM at RM. The game decided to use the players from a 433(4) attack formation.What should be happening instead? The players chosen for the AI should be the ones that match positions in the starting formation. The AI Rm should be at RM instead of a RDM at RM etc..Essentially, it picks the WRONG POSITIONED AI players in the formation you are starting the pro clubs match with and it breaks the game entirely. It seems to pick the AI players as if you are always playing a 433(4) formation as that's what the positions of the players are. I'm using a 442 and the game has put a RDM at RM, a RW at striker and a CAM in RCM etc... This is obviously very frustrating because having a RDM AI at right mid is horrendous. They have low pace, no crossing playstyle and don't fit the position

During a match with the 5212 formation check the team management screen to view player details of the player assigned to left backWhat happens when the bug occurs? The AI player assigned to the left back position is actually a right midfielderWhat should be happening instead? The left back should be filled by an actual left back. LWB and RWB should be removed from the AI player positions since those positions don't exist anymoreIn matches using the 5212 formation, if the left back position is unclaimed by a human player, the game incorrectly fills it with the right midfielder AI player. This results in a significant disadvantage, as the AI player lacks appropriate defending attributes and size for the left back role. The expected behavior is for an actual left back to be assigned to that position, and ideally, LWB and RWB should be removed from AI player positions since they are no longer valid.

@ViTal_Rema Same here. Tried 532 today and the my (ANY) striker got put in left back, Our LCB was a LB, the RS was a LAM, the LCM was a RAM, the CDM was a CM. The players playing out of position are really poor this year which makes this even more noticable.

After doing tactics in clubs for me and my mates being the manager and club creator. Selected the tactics we want to use for example 541 and I’m ’Any’ however the clubs AI CDM will play LB and LM in CM. In gamewhy can’t the correct AI players be assigned to the formation we are playing? please help.

Clubs AI players are in the wrong position

Which mode has this happened in? Clubs
Which part of the mode? Club Match
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play as the ANY in a 4-1-4-1 and set your Pro to any position (ST, CM, RM, CAM)
What happens when the bug occurs? My Pro starts at either LM or LB position instead of the position he is set to
What should be happening instead? He should play the position he is assigned
‌
I've noticed this in the 4-1-4-1 formation but it may happen in other formations as well (it did in FC 24). I was playing with 3 friends and I had my Pro set to ST which was open (friends playing LCM, RCM, CDM). My ST started the game at LM. We tried moving a friend to ST and assigned my guy to CM, thinking he'd play one of the open RCM or LCM, my Pro started the game at LB. This also happened when he was set to RM. Really frustrating bug. In that formation the bug occurred 100% of the time. I'll try other formations the next time we play. 4-1-3-2 seemed to be fine when assigned to ST.

ANY is for rats, it's "Pro" clubs, not "EA bots" clubs.

But yes, the positions are broken and that is unacceptable.

Haha! Letting the computer play defense for you is for people that can't defend. Not playing with an ANY is for noobs.

@TEDDYunited It's ten times easier to win a match with an ANY.

The defensive boys are pretty shocking having an ANY is a massive upgrade.

Anyway, bump.
