Only some specific meta tactical situations were tested
My native language is not English. Some of the following content was directly translated by me using a translator I don't know if anyone has taken this test before. Since I searched for some keywords but couldn't find anything, I guess no one has posted this content
Default setting before test: 1.All players on the Left side use their left foot as the main foot, The non-main foot always = 8 Left Feet = 20 . Right Feet =8 2.All players on the Right side use their right foot as the main foot, The non-main foot always = 8 Left Feet = 8 . Right Feet =20 3.Players on Central axis , Left Feet = 8 . Right Feet =20 4.Some characters in specific positions, such as "Inside Forward", will default to using the foot in the opposite direction as the main foot
Let's analyze the data. There are Average goals scored, Average goals conceded, win rate, loss rate, Average goal difference in the table I use Average goal difference as the indicator for comparison
----------------------- Analysis 1. "4231"
Look at tables 1,2,3 1 is the most ideal state, where all players have 20 on both their left and right feet. Its Average goal difference is 44.2
2 is to change non-main foot to 8. Among all the players, the players on the left (except Inside Forward as the opposite) all have their left foot as the main foot. The players on the right (except Inside Forward as the opposite) all use their right foot as the main foot. Its Average goal difference is 32.1
The overall performance dropped by 44.2-32.1=12.1, but this value is actually not significant (because increasing the number of non-skilled feet from 8 to 20 would require a very large amount of CA, and the improvement in performance is not much compared to the CA it occupies).
3 is in contrast to 2. It indicates: In the "Meta 4231" tactic, Inside Forward actually doesn't need opposite feet (the two only differ by 0.7 and can be regarded as having no actual difference). ----------------------- Analysis 2. "3421"
Look at tables 4,5 and 6
This tactic has 3 BPD, 2 DM, 2 WB, 2 IF and 1 AF
Compare 5 and 6. The same conclusion: Inside Forward actually doesn't need opposite feet. The difference between the two is only 1.4 ----------------------- Analysis 3. "433"
Look at Tables 7,8 and 9
This tactic has 2 MC and 1 DM
The situation of this tactic is a bit different. Inside Forward performs better when using the main foot in the opposite position ----------------------- Analysis 4. "4231"
Look at Tables 2,10 and 11
10,11 They replaced "Inside Forward" with "Winger", and it can be found that "Winger" strongly requires the main foot at the same position ----------------------- Analysis 5. "433 3st3dm"
Look at Tables 12,13 and 14
This case is about comparing which foot to usefor "Left / Right Pressing Forward".
Conclusion: There is not much difference ----------------------- Analysis 6. "4231"
Look at Tables 2,15,16 and 17
In 15 The feet of "DL-"Full-Back" and" DR-"Full-Back" were reversed, resulting in a very obvious decline in performance
ConclusionL/DR "Full-Back" requires the use of the main foot in the same position
In 16, the feet of "DMCL-"Defensive Midfielder" and" DMCR-"Defensive Midfielder" were reversed, resulting in a slight decline in performance. It can be considered that the main feet of DMCL and DMCR in this tactic are not important
In 17 The feet of "DCL-"Ball Playing Defender" and" DCR-"Ball Playing Defender" were reversed. Similarly, a slight decline in performance can be regarded as unimportant . main feet of DCL and DCR in this tactic are not important ----------------------- Analysis 7. "424"
Look at 18 and 19 in the table
This is an unfinished process. I forgot to continue the test. Originally, I intended to swap the main foot of "Pressing Forward" based on 19. ----------------------- Analysis 8. "3421"
Look at Table 5,20,21,22
In 20 is to reverse the feet of "WBL- "Wing-back" and" WBR- "Wing-back" The performance dropped significantly, from 39.1 to 29.7. Conclusion: In this tactic, WBL and WBR strongly need to use the main feet in the same position
In 21 is reversing the feet of "DMCL-"Defensive Midfielder" and" DMCR-"Defensive Midfielder", The performance is approximately unchanged Conclusion: In this tactic,the main feet of DMCL and DMCR have no impact
In 22 is to reverse the feet of "DCL-"Ball Playing Defender" and" DCR-"Ball Playing Defender" The performance has dropped significantly Conclusion: In this tactic, DCL and DCR need to use the main feet in the same position
----------------------- Note that in order to control the variables, I only changed the foot of one type position each time. I didn't try to combine multiple situations
-----------------------
Based on the summary of the test results
1. In most of the tactics tested, "Inside Forward" doesn't care which foot is used.
(The only exception is the example of "433 2cm 1dm" . But the impact here is not significant)
2."Winger", it is extremely necessary for the player's main foot to be on the same side as his position
3. "Pressing Forward" doesn't matter which foot is used
4. In 4231, "DL/DR" always requires the player's main foot to be on the same side as his position, which has a very very significant impact
5. In 4231, the feet of "DM and DC" have some influence, but the influence is small
6. In 3421, "DM" has no effect. "DCL/DCR" has a significant impact and requires that the player's main foot be on the same side as his position.
7. In 3421, "WB" requires that the player's main foot be on the same side as his position , which has a very very significant impact
Is this effect linear? If a player has 12 or 13 for their weak foot (listed as "Fairly Strong" in-game), will they perform a little better than the players with 8 on their weak foot?
Only some specific meta tactical situations were tested
L/DR "Full-Back" requires the use of the main foot in the same position

Analysis 7. "424"
Look at 18 and 19 in the table
This is an unfinished process. I forgot to continue the test. Originally, I intended to swap the main foot of "Pressing Forward" based on 19.
-----------------------
Analysis 8. "3421"
Look at Table 5,20,21,22
In 20 is to reverse the feet of "WBL- "Wing-back" and" WBR- "Wing-back"
The performance dropped significantly, from 39.1 to 29.7.

any chance you test correlation between inverted wingbacks/fullbacks and preferred foots
Is this effect linear? If a player has 12 or 13 for their weak foot (listed as "Fairly Strong" in-game), will they perform a little better than the players with 8 on their weak foot?
