due to injuries i'm short on dc's, so if i use a dl or dr as a dc will this count as an illegal formation because the dl/r are playing out of position
No. I've observed quicker morale and energy drop playing one slot out of position like that, but that's all. I played an MC at AMC for a full season and he led the league in goals and assists.
