Multi position players - pro and cons

[Arphaxad]

I agree with @Der_Ryan_M with regards to combining outside and inside positions. I'd add defensive and offensive positions to that as well (DR/MR). I also agree with his view regarding white vs grey skills but would like to add to it.

There's also the fact that many white skills require you to drastically increase the overall quality of your player, which will result in tougher draws. If you have players with one position, you can keep the grey skills low and the white skills very high while still maintaining a relative low overall quality, which is a good thing.

Another great advantage with multipositions is in game management. If your players at crucial positions have multiple positions, it'll make it easier for you to dictate a game without substitutions. It adds flexibility. But, as was said, there're only a few positions that requires multipositions. Which positions depends on your formation.

I play mostly 4-3-2-1 (AML/AMR). Depending on how a game develops, I might switch to 4-5-1v or 4-2-3-1 or 3-1-2-3-1 mostly. In order for me to manage that, I need the following multipositions:

AMC/ST (if you play with a false 9)
ML/AML
MR/AMR
MC/AMC
DMC/MC
DC/DMC
