Hi guys, been doing some searching, but have yet to find a definite answer.

I commonly put players of out of position, but usually not more than what's reasonable. Stuff like MC in AMC or DMC, ML in AML, MR in AMR... I've experimented quite a bit with this, even putting 3 players out of position. I've even had great results doing so!

The reason why I'm wondering is that the wiki seems to have some pretty harsh rules about formations, but at the same time is extremely vague on the topic of out of position players. In my league I've even seen people win games with a striker in goal and two keepers in upfield positions!

It's rather seeming like there is no black-and-white effect. I've read that people seem to say that it hurts morale, but I also doubt this. I spend more morale boosters on a DC I play every game in the DC role over any other player. I also regularly get clean sheets and dropping points is extremely rare (I have a single loss this season with five rounds remaining).
