Farm tokens and buy the player you need, your team has to be flexible in order to face different formations and be sucessful
Don't go for the higest quality players, if you'r trying to improve your team always aim at few players that would change the average quality instead of just takeing 1 player and wasting loads of tokens on it.
Always aim at players that got 2/3 positions, saves alot of headache.

In my case: I've got a DL that also does DML, DR/DMR; 2x DC/DMC; DC/DR & DC/DL
5xMC; 2xAMR/AML/AMC; AML/ML; AMR/MR; and 2x ST
Also using 1on1 Stopper GK helps alot for the league, having Penalty stoper comes handy for the league incase there's no winner in the regular time.

For my case, i think its not always the case when one does not already own the player in that position, it could be due to Injuries and Red Cards. What I usually do is try to improvise that formation and still play my best players, and if they are down as well, use the player with similar color on that Wing (Eg. DMC down I play MC with blue arrow, ML down I play AML).

Or you can play a player out of position.
There no problem in using a DC as DR or a ML as AML, something like that.
I had a ML that played very well as MC, even without knowing the position, is just a matter of testing.
I have a ST that plays well as AML.
Just dont use a ST as DC, that dosent make sense.

I once used a DC as a ST by mistake in 5 minutes he scored 2 goals...
