After reading the forums I have decided to make some fairly drastic changes to my players positions (might not be the best idea). Will this greatly affect the performance of these players??

I realise its a risk in a league game but I feel the quicker I can get these changes done the quicker the team can be improved for the future.

I have 3 players on Offense and 3 on defence playing out of position (5 of which are complete new comers to the positions).

Any comments?

I had done the same with my players in the past and recently and with good gameplanning (scouting opposing team) I have not seen much if any drop in my teams performance.....in other words go for it.

Thanks for the replies.

Looks like I will go for it, i ams ure some have 3 stars or more but as they are all young hopefully they will be ready soon rather than later. The one older guy has nothing better to do anyway

So if we play a player out of position, eventually his position natural position will change?

I also haven't seen a major change. Last year I decided to start changing my players positions around week 10. I was 8-2 at the time, and ended up 14-4. And one of the losses was because an injury set my lineup to the equivalent of a bot lineup and I had no idea.

This season I'm 5-1 in a league with quite a few humans. So, yes, there is a penalty, but if you're confident that your team is that good and you scout well enough, you should win regardless.
