Background. The aim of this paper was to create cognitive models reflecting the efficiency of actions of players in individual positions existing in a modern system of play organization on the basis of a praxeological theory of team sport games. Furthermore, an attempt was made to determine the efficiency of individual and team actions of the studied teams according to the current player's position. Material and methods. The research material consisted of 21 semi-final and final matches played during the most important football tournaments in the years 2002-2008. Actions of 26 teams playing in the 1-4-2-3-1 system of play organization were analysed. Results. It was found that the efficiency of actions of individual footballers playing according to a certain system of play organization is dependent on the position in the formation. Conclusions. Patterns of efficiency of actions of footballers playing in particular positions should be used to create models of play for lower level players. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
