Order of Positions

[Sully]

I remember reading somewhere that the first position is the stronger one and the 2nd and 3rd positions get a positional penalty of sorts.

That is why you see DML/DR and DR/DML.

This is how it is expected to be, but I think there might be a flaw in this game concerning this. Like I have said previously, I had a DR/DC that had better attributes for the DC position than the DR position, that is he was relatively poor in crossing and speed. He performed decently at DC and, in fact, performed better than other DCs in the team at that time. He was also trained mainly for DC and DMC skills rather than specific DR skills during the period he was with the team. Yet, the positions displayed remained always as DR/DC rather than changing to DC/DR. It may be due to the hidden effects also, that is despite having better DC skills, a player could be better at DR.

I have two players in my team whose positions orders keep changing after training or after having played a match. One is a DC/DMC and the other is DMC/DC. The position orders keep changing from DC/DMC to DMC/DC and vice versa.

Now, I have a DR/DC which I want to train to play at DL also. Based on the displayed attributes for him, he has better qualities to play at DL first, DR second and DC last, but they are all very close to each other which means that he could become a very good utility defender. The problem is that the progress for the new position seems slow as compared to the progress of the different individual skills when using the new training system.
