Player Roles
Tactical connoisseurs have the opportunity to tinker to their heart's content in 90 Minute Fever's latest update! There are now 36 unique outfield player roles with some positions having as many as 7 role options to choose from!
Do you want your striker to be a Target Man? Perhaps he is better suited to play as a Poacher? Or maybe you want him to defend from the front as a Pressing Forward? With the new Roles system, you can encourage your striker to play to his (or perhaps your team’s) strengths. These are the kind of decisions you’ll need to make for every position as you try to get the best out of your players.
The new Player Roles system replaces the existing mentalities system and allows managers a lot more choice and control over the way their team plays. With more options available, it also provides more variance in the style of opponents you face and more opportunities to counter them.
