Abbreviations for Positions

The following is a list of position abbreviations in FIFA 22. The abbreviations may differ when playing FIFA 22 in a different language.

AM – Attacking midfielder

SW – A player that is responsible for both defensive and offensive duties. He is given a free role and can act as a playmaker to some extent, but he should also drop back behind the defensive line when the opposing team attacks.

GK – Goalkeeper

WF – The wing forward, like the center forward, is less common in modern football but could be used in a 4-3-3 formation.

RB – Right defense / Right back

CB – Central defender / Center-backs

LB – Left defense / Left-back

CDM – Central Defending Midfielder

OL – Outside left. Same as the left-winger.

OR – Outside right. Same as the left-winger.

RM – Right midfielder

CM – Centre midfielders

LM – Left midfielder

CAM – Central attacking midfielder

RW – Right winger

ST – Striker

LW – Left winger

IF – Inside forward. In the old days, an offensive line could have five attackers, with two inside forwards positioned between the wing forwards and the center forward and usually a little behind the other three.
