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.
When you have player who can play only one position, (eg. MC) then that player gets quallity penalty if he plays some near position under yellow triagle (MC on AMC or DMC). It seems that something similar happens when you use multiple position player on his 2nd or 3rd position; then he doesn't get quallity penalty, but he gets form penalty. Apart from DC-DMC's I haven't noticed some other position and form changes, however, my DL-DML played yesterday 3x3+1 formation on DML position and got rating 8.
My only 3 position player is AMC-ST-MC, but I can't track his form because he plays in all 3 positions in my team, wherever I need him.
Btw. I think it is better to keep in squad weaker player in top form than strongest player in bad form.
