DL Can't play at DC position !!

[Asm Saeed]

yeah lack money to buy decent one but not the reason i drew and even though he isn't in right position his form 7-9 each match and he was man of the match

probably should not have had red arrows on DL and DR. Also I don't think using defensive with force counter attacks was the best choice against that formation. Could you give us a screenshot of the stats as well as ratings from that game?

[Sherifon]

well, players at wrong position play bad even if they get a good rating, they makes mistakes which lead to losing the ball and opponent counter attacks so be careful !!
2 star at the right place better than 5 star at wrong place, that's my opinion

[Steppenwolf]

Same formation works differently if you play defensively, using counter attacks, and if you attack. I won so many game changing attitude to attacking or defending, keeping the same formation...

OK signed my U21 player 18T and he is good trainer and cover 2 location so all in position all superb moral min condition 80%

if that was with defensive and force counter attacks on then I would say it was not the right call. Switch to attacking with full pitch pressure, and no red arrows on DR and DL and you should be okay. Also for out of player positions I like to think of it as losing 1 star if it is a similar position, and 2 stars if it is a far away position. So if you don't have any other options for players as long as it is a similar position you should be okay. But avoid it in the future
