Which is more important-

1-A player is placed in his natural position, but his relevant skills are poor.
2-A player is placed where he can 'play adequately' and has a better skill-set for this position?

It may be rough for a while, but I think the best option is to look at Intelligence, Speed, Strength, Consistency, and talent to determine what position to put players in. You can train the other necessary skills to match the position, and playing him at the position long enough improves the BPOS (rating). Finding optimal Speed/Strength is a bit difficult early on because you don't know the caps yet. Just start with whichever is highest and place it in a position where it's most needed and hope it caps high enough.

Cheers lads, I was leaning towards skills anyway as this new bunch are a bit all over the place anyway.

I'd tell you to keep an eye out on the transfer market but nobody will want the dross I'm going to get rid of...

For sure. If you ditch any 3.5* talents or more, be sure to use the ads section.
