{{Interwiki/Inner Midfielder}}{{Individual orders}}
'''Inner midfielder''' (IM), or simply midfielder, is a [[Players|player]]'s position within Hattrick, probably the most important position as far as the matches are concerned. Accordingly, Having good playmakers in the inner midfield is crucial for the [[team]].

==Skills==
The main skills used by these players are [[Playmaking]] and [[Passing]]. [[Defending]], [[Stamina]] and a fair amount of [[Scoring]] are also very useful.

==Contribution==
Midfielders main function is to provide your team with [[possession]] through [[midfield|midfield ratings]]. They also give a contribution to [[attack|offence]] and [[defence]] as well.
 
===Individual Orders===
Inner Midfielder's [[individual order]] determines what side profits the most. The possible individual orders for IM are:

====Normal inner midfielder====
[[image:Normal.png]] &mdash; IM is the standard order.

 18.9% of his '''Defending''' for Side Defence (half to left and half to right if central)
 40% of his '''Defending''' for Central Defence
 100% of his '''Playmaking''' for Midfield
 26% of his '''Passing''' for Side Attack (half to left and half to right if central)
 32.5% of his '''Passing''' for Central Attack
 22% of his '''Scoring''' for Central Attack

====Defensive inner midfielder====
[[image:Defensive.png]] &mdash; IMD needs more Defending and less Passing.

 27% of his '''Defending''' for Side Defence (half to left and half to right if central)
 59.4% of his '''Defending''' for Central Defence
 94.4% of his '''Playmaking''' for Midfield
 14% of his '''Passing''' for Side Attack (half to left and half to right if central)
 18% of his '''Passing''' for Central Attack
 13% of his '''Scoring''' for Central Attack

====Inner midfielder towards wing====
[[image:Towards left.png]] &mdash; IMTW needs more [[Wing]] (and Passing) and less Playmaking (and Defending). He gives a higher contribution to his side attack using more Passing skill and contributing also with his Wing skill, while contributing less to the midfield and central attack.

 24% of his '''Defending''' for Side Defence
 34.8% of his '''Defending''' for Central Defence
 88.1% of his '''Playmaking''' for Midfield
 59% of his '''Winger''' for Side Attack
 27.1% of his '''Passing''' for Side Attack
 22.7% of his '''Passing''' for Central Attack

Traditionally, IMTW was considered the worst order in Hattrick, but since Global season 35 it was significantly improved. 

====Offensive inner midfielder====
[[image:Offensive.png]] &mdash; IMO needs more Passing and less Defending.

 10.2% of his '''Defending''' for Side Defence (half to left and half to right if central)
 16% of his '''Defending''' for Central Defence
 94.4% of his '''Playmaking''' for Midfield
 36% of his '''Passing''' for Side Attack (half to left and half to right if central)
 48.3% of his '''Passing''' for Central Attack
 31% of his '''Scoring''' for Central Attack

===Overcrowding Penalty===
There are penalties in case you play 2 or 3 midfielders on the same central position. These occur to all the skills of the players fielded in that specific central sector of your team:
* 2 Inner Midfielders: -6.5%
* 3 Inner Midfielders: -17.5%

==Specialities==
An IM with no [[specialty]] is a decent middle ground without penalties. It's probably better than an Unpredictable IM without good defending. Here is a ranking of specialities on mid-fielders:

: {{Head}} IM &mdash; improves chance of scoring on a set pieces, but can have negative effect from Technical wingers and forwards. This is probably the best for an IM.
: {{Powerful}} IM &mdash; gains a bit of skills in the [[Weather|rain]], but in the [[Weather|sun]] he might play worst and get tired early.
: {{Technical}} IM &mdash; plays better in the sun. The downside is negative rain event.
: {{Quick}} IM &mdash; can create quick events and also stop the same events triggered by opponent's wingers and forwards. Anyway he is dangerous because he gets penalty in rain and sun either.
: {{Unpredictable}} IM &mdash; is better than nothing with good Passing+Defending skills, otherwise he can generate only negative [[special event]].
