ML and MR would be new, but hey - Nordeus changed the positions, right? DL and DR not being possible is just completely illogical. I cannot think of a reason they left that out.
But this was not even my point. I used the formation screen to get ideas for players to look for at the transfer market. Big mistake, since some adjacent positions are impossible.
