terrible update, get rid of it a soon as possible. Will only benifit paying players who can throw bosscoins at the scout for specific players. Squad will need to be much bigger to play certain formations.
Terrible terrible terribleLooks like you're the one guy in a million who didn't want this to happen

One question based on the new position feature. Is the centre-forward(secondary striker) position available?

@vinayak-singh-mehra
I do not think so... make that (at least) three in a million. -
As much as I always wanted this update to happen (since the start of my OSM career I wanted to see positions on OSM) I must agree with some people here and say that sadly this update was not ready yet to be implemented on OSM. Some of the problems I have with this:
- too many players are put in certain positions, while in real life they play couple positions
- some positions are not well presented on the transfer list, and in game in overall (too few RM & LM players specifically)
These 2 problems are biggest ones for me. Just as the medals system, on its own this is a great idea, but its been rushed and not worked out well before being put into game.

Would be nice to just get a heads up and say it goes live on a certain date, instead of “from now”. A lot of people have 4 accounts and in competitive leagues and won’t have teams ready. A few days earlier it wouldn’t have been hard to just say it goes live on 10th feb on the 7th feb for example. @SpecialOne
I won’t say anything else on the subject, no point, just get ignored

- Does this mean that in a formation with 1 FW, we can not give him support midfielders, because it must be ST who has little defensive skills?
- Why are there no RB on my transfer list?

There are no RBs because there are not much full backs in the world.

@majstor-matt
@SpecialOne has told utility positions aren't available now. -
@wakil-isco is it for everyone now? I can see it as well but I was thinking about what could potentially happen should I not follow it.
-
@aweijie
Yes, for everyone. -
@wenger-wise Or maybe just create a fantasy league WITHOUT Transfers, pretty simple.
-
Would it affect the rating and performance of the players if for example LF played as a RF ??
I already built my squad in a very very combative league ( 19 active and friends managers ) and its not easy to rebuild a team in that league
-
@specialone Too bad that there is nobody from GB is online to answer questions while this change is suddenly implemented and has huge impact on the matches tonight. We really need more information about the impact of letting players play out of position. For example: I appear to have 4 DC's and 1 DR in my team, how big will the reduction for my DC with 14 Att be when I pitch as DL? Or would it be better to buy a DL on the transferlist which has a 10% lower defending rating because he performs better on DL than my current player.

@mαhmouժ-muhαmmαժ Yes, you can continue using your forwards as you like.

Unfortunately, we can't share information on the exact impact of bonuses. However, we can share that lining up all your players on their specific positions will generate a bonus that's comparable to lining up the right Specialists.
Because specific positions and Specialists are a nice way for a manager to add that extra touch to the Line-up."Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." --Winston Churchill

... there are no side midfielders (MR/ML) or wingbacks (DR/DL) on the transfer list ...
You can still use all Attackers/Midfielders/Defenders on their positions. Specific players on their specific position just adds a bonus.

Yes, some players can play on several positions in real life. But most of them have one favourite specific position. The position in which the player features most, is used as their specific position in OSM.
Reminder: players still perform on their line. Specific position is just an additional bonus."Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." --Winston Churchill

@specialone Would be so cool if we had some numbers, or rough estimation what does "performing worse" actually means, is it like 10-20-30% performance decrease, or. One thing I've noticed, transfer lists will have to be a bit more flexible, for example, in my Italian league, whole transfer list is populated by CBs only, no other types of defenders
*Cool update, though. Much more interesting to build a team now!

Super awesome I can totally build my team in a 3-5-2 with only LB/RBs, CMs, CAMs and CDMs available in the market........
