They do wander toward the center, but don’t wander as far forward in support of the attack. It strengthens you against the counter, and makes sure you have strong one-on-one defending from all four members of your back line.

Ahhhh, the greatness that was Zoro in PES6! Every now and then I could run up the wing with him, cut inside and unleash a Hollywood-style 40-yarder that would scream into the net. When I finally abandoned my PES6 ML he was 36 or so and ready for the retirement home.

And: hmmm. I might have to try that four CBs thing. They don’t wander away? Really? Sounds good.

Exactly, low attack and aggresion and CBs who also play as SBs, good points. I remember I was playing Zoro and Pepe as SBs recently in PES6. The problem with playing straight CBs on the side is that sometimes they tend to stray towards the center of the pitch, leaving your wings unguarded. You can now get them to target-train passing during off-season to get some deadly counterattacking going.;)

I started playing with CBs in my SB slots with my most recent team (PES 6), and love it. Ultimately, what you’re looking for is low Attack and Aggression scores.

1st criteria for me are CBs who are also registered to the SB spot (naturally), then 2nd criteria are passing and technical skills.

What I found is that there are a wealth of CBs out there who are very skilled on the ball, but due to low Defense scores (i.e. 78 instead of 84) or standing under 180 cm tall wouldn’t get a look in on my sides.

With CBs playing SB, it lets me put together a roster where my back four are on aggregate extremely good in defense. There aren’t any weaknesses on-the-ball defensively, and there is less problem with SBs getting caught in the attacking third while I’m trying to defend in midfield!
