The last couple of days, including two acquisitions, have slightly changed team planning. It previously has alternated between having a "short" squad for everyone to play regularly and a deeper one to cover for injuries and rotation.

However, having two players for each position costs too many green packs, especially when they are young, fast trainers. Some end up playing too little and I never really trust players who are there only as backups.

I decided that more of my guys should have a second position. Let's review the changes.

Jørgen Eriksen - ML and future MC

I previously found a promising ML with the same name on the transfer market... only to find a younger and better one today. So I made the acquisition, sold the guy I didn't want to keep and renamed the newbie as Eriksen. Importantly, I begun training him for the MC position. Once he gains his second position he will be involved in ML and MC rotation.

Oleg Kamiński - DL and future DC

Finally, a great DL prospect! I found this guy a day ago on the transfer market. His arrival means that captain Sarovic's days as a regular starter may soon end. Kamiński also started learning the DC position for versatility.

This will solve a problem because it seems I always am either short of a DC or having one more DC than I need, as some guys cannot play a second position.



Timo Knieps - MC and future MR

I wasn't sure what to do with this kid from the youth academy. He is 18, he performs decently at MC on the right side and trains fast, but two other MCs are better. Therefore, Knieps started learning MR to max out his playing potential and replace the current MR backup.



I started training the three players and Knieps made the most progress. So I focused on him...
