Last season, I changed my lineup after a 2-2 start. I ended winning the Div III.9 with a 15-3 record and a regional cup.

With your competition, no doubt about it.

From my original players, only about 6 stayed in their natural position. The only time I leave them alone (of course unless their best position is their natural position) is if their NP is their 2nd or 3rd best position, and their best position is nowhere on the list of NPs/Adequates/Fill ins, and they're old, and they aren't significantly better at their best position than the 2nd and 3rd best guys that would go there.

I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to zeb123... He's beaten his only human opponent once, so unless he loses to a bot there's virtually no risk involved...

I think I have a team that has turned out pretty well, so I'll share what I did when I first got my team. It was a two stage process.......

First, I ignored best position and placed players based on skills that I thought relevant. E.g. DL players needed to have high tackling. And I placed them there regardless of what their best position was. Even if the position wasn't even listed on their list of best positions, I still played them there.

Second, if there were ties in skills I felt were relevant, THEN I looked at their best positions. Only then.

I have found that it takes anywhere from 10-40 games to get a player to change their best position.

I've also noticed that playing a player out of position doesn't have a big enough penalty to justify not playing someone with high relevant skills. In other words, I'd rather play a player with 7 blocking as an OL, but who doesn't have OL anywhere on their best position list, than play a player with 3 blocking whose natural position is OL.

But my opinion may differ from others......

isaac101, I agree with the above "bold" statement you made. I have not notice much if any of a drop of in performance either.

I have an OL playing as my QB, OL as my RB, my K playing as FB and DL playing as WR. That's just on offense.

Since setting these and many other changes I am now 3-3, all 3 losses being against better level challenge opposition. In league I am on a 3 game streak and only 1 behind league leader.
