What is Hole Player?
Hole Player in eFootball breaks forward from the second line into the gaps and gets on the end of moves. Well-timed runs and finishing make it a scoring threat from midfield.
Which positions trigger Hole Player
Hole Player only triggers when the player is used at AMF, CMF, LMF, RMF, 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.
