View source for Midfield

The midfield of a team decides the ball possession within a match. The higher the ball possession, the bigger the chance of receiving more [[regular chances]].

Midfield is primarily derived from:

* Playmaking [[inner midfielder]]s
* Playmaking [[winger]]s

However, offensive [[Central Defender]]s and [[Wingback]]s, and defensive [[forward]]s can add to the midfield rating.

'''Non-Linear Relationship'''

[[LLoko]] ([[Lokomotiv Lund]], [http://hem.passagen.se/hammervald/abc_of_tactics_index.htm ABC of tactics]) has made an investigation on the ball possession to number of chance ratio which shows that the number of chances is not linear to the ball possession; from 65% and upwards, it is very likely that the opponent will not receive a single chance.  This knowledge is the basis behind the so-called "[[All out tactics]]".
