positional knowledge please

[seanmeg]

Obviously playing a defender in the correct position is most important,but my question is if a dc has been performing well on the right side of middle,would he perform the same on the left side of middle ? does anyone know if the engine detects positional or player changes from game to game , or do you all swap from game to game ?

If he plays out of his natural position it will affect his overall performance as well as his morale.

What about prefered foot though, like would a left footed player be better on the left hand side slot of DC/MC/ST

Ive not noticed any difference, just in case youve noticed it in your lengthy t11 career

No, I've noticed real difference either, but If he plays alongside another defender that he can form a partnership then he could become more effective.

not sure about effecting his moral .. did it many times never seen a drop .. may be it could if you keep playing him for longer time
regarding rating, sure he will not be MOM, but they kept same average everytime i played them out of position

every player got 1 base position and 1or2 additional , using on his base will give his best rating and on additional oscillate , but in wrong position will inflict lower morale bad rating for player and possession penalty for team , not tested but using 2 or more in wrong position will get illegal formation and the 20% possession !

I believe that's not the case. I tried several times playing with my MR and ML as amr and aml in season 1-2 and never got on illegal.
