Build-up GK

UnreleasedStill being reviewed

In one sentence

Not released yet. When a team-mate has the ball, the keeper switches to a build-up position a few metres behind his back line towards the ball's side.

Who does this affect?

Only while the computer controls the keeper and his team has the ball. Found on: GK only. Not released yet (the game's style data marks it unreleased); the name and description already exist in the game text.

How it works

The code is already in the game. While his team has the ball, a team-mate (not the keeper) has it and either the keeper is already in build-up mode or the team has had the ball for 3 s and a 16 m distance check on the carrier passes, the keeper leaves his normal spot and takes a build-up position: 5 m behind his back line when the ball is at his own box line, up to 15 m when it is at the opponents' box line, shifted to the ball's side within the six-yard-box width, and never more than about 27 m from his goal line. Details may change before release.

When it applies

Only in goal.
Team has the ball and a team-mate holds it.

Without it

A keeper without the style uses the normal in-possession positioning.

Common questions

Is Build-up GK in the game already?

Short answerPartly

Its code and text exist, but the style data marks it unreleased and no card has it.

BendBuild-up depth 5–15 m behind the back line, growing as the ball goes from his own box line to the opponents' box line.

LimitNever further than 25.1 m short of halfway (about 27 m from his goal line); sideways within 9.2 m ± 1 m of the goal centre line towards the ball.
