Quite annoying that the game alghorythm gave my defender who scored 1 goal today MOTM, while my best player scored 2 and provided 1 assists.
It is what it is, but it s not the first time it happens...
The rating calculation for defenders would include important tackles, cross clearing and defensive counters. Top defender performance is reflected both on his own high rating and poor AM or ST rating. Goals and assists of defenders get lesser weight in rating.

Typically I would move up DR or DL to MR or ML (both fullbacks have both midfield positions & DC as well) when their performance is high, and they usually would score or assist. And switch them to DC if opponent ST rating is rather high even with no goals (sub DC out and another DL/R in).

You could only sub that well-performing defender out early to help top attacker to get motm. Moving defender position would not ‘help’ in those situations.

Goals may be a bit on the low side to win there. Best of luck!
