Good point t11_fan, I'd never thought about that before. I always thought that it went in order defence, midfield, attack but not recognising the attributes for each position. I have 2 defender one with DL and DC and the other DC and DR. I have always chosen the first position to play them in but never thought why, but they are getting good stats. Maybe that is the answer, the first position is their strongest. I don't buy many DR/MR players so I cannot comment on those.
