What is Creative Playmaker?
Creative Playmaker in eFootball roams freely in the final third and creates chances with passes and dribbles. A playmaker type that becomes the starting point of the attack, built on Attacking Awareness and passing.
Which positions trigger Creative Playmaker
Creative Playmaker only triggers when the player is used at AMF, LMF, LWF, RMF, RWF, SS. Played anywhere else the behaviour does not appear, so playing the card in one of these positions is the basic requirement for getting anything out of the style.
