Specific Player Positions - Discussion Topic
-
I am still struggling with my line-ups. When I have a DR with 85 skill and a DC with 80 skill. Would it then be better to pitch the DR as DC? I really have no clue if playing the DC in his correct position gives him 2%, 5%, 10% or even more bonus.
And 1 open question (asked by someone else here) for the developers: will the bonus only be given when all 11 players play in their specific player position or is this a bonus per player?
@koningco as no percentage was given nor was a minimum number given, we only have to assume that the bonus is per player. In fact, if you go into alignment and put the player in the correct position, he will have a "green mark"!

The new position feature is great, but there's one problem. The problem is not only with me, but thousands! The problem is that finding a player of a specific position is not so easy on the transfer list. Another thing is, we can prefer the scout, but doesn't he ask for 15 boss coins, right isn't it? So I think you should make the scout use lesser boss coins like you say 2 or 3 and if you can make it 1! But please reduce the number of boss coins used by the scout

I'm not sure about that green markings and those are not visible for me right now. I have seen these markings before the Specific Player Positions were visible and they might have something to do with fitness %.

With the new update, the positions were detailed, this seems to put us in a bit of a difficult situation.
positions should be a little flexible. For example oos player in forward, dos player should be able to play in defense -

I have mentioned many times that utility positions are currently not available. -
@domingosalexpt same. The update is on my phone but not on my mac...
@aweijie I don't understand. Probably it is problem a browser problem because i use OSM in Edge and Chrome and I have update. Brave i haven't update

- too many players are put in certain positions, while in real life they play couple positions
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.Is it possible to make wingers play as side midfielders without being in the wrong position?

@Ado-Hackovic no you can't. It has been told that you the players will still perform worse on the other lines. You would rather play him a striker or a right winger.

So after few days of testing this, few remarks: I think it's a nice move for this game to become a bit more complex, and not just series of selling/buying players to push those values up. But definitely it will prove some aspects of this game to be hard, especially for new players.
*Transfer lists should change the way they work. There should be more flexibility in terms of what kind of players are offered there. Transfer inactivity of the league will often lock the transfer list being populated. I've noticed this since nobody is trading in one of my leagues, and for example, defenders on transfer list almost never change, unless I'm the one buying the top player and reselling him just to "unlock" the transfer list.
*Scout is BROKEN! I mean, the option for top player shouldn't be 85+. Most of us push through bigger leagues quite fast in terms of team building, and after 10 matchdays, we usually have 95+ team, and with the player positions being introduced, we have to use scouts more often ( not cool for free to play players, but ... ) , but scout comes empty handed offering players of low quality. Add 90+ option there too, if you're already kind of forcing us to use scout.

As I sometimes play with an extremely bloated squad of 30 - 45 players (albeit value and quality lower than those managers playing with small squads) you would think that the new player positions et-up would greatly favour me. However, as many have already said before, this is just another example of GB
considering their financial advantages over the many millions of managers not in a position to buy a player from scout.
All managers should be advised of the implications of using 'out of position' players in their teams. A full accounting of the weighting used should be known to all managers - suggest a full table of the negative effects that all out of position players will have on a result against teams of higher or lower ranking and manager ranking be placed on the Forum. Even better you could send a mail shot to all players with a paper table they can use to set-up their teams.
My biggest gripe at the moment relates to the issuing of the daily medals following matches. In the last month my few match losses have cost me a deduction in my total medal count of around 1500 medals per match, yet having won up to 9-0 only generated 66 medals. I have finished 2 seasons and had 422,170 medals on 3rd February yet last night my total was 415,452 medals (gaining only 274 medals from 4/4 matches won yesterday. At this rate it will take another 25 days to get back to my earlier total, assuming I don't lose another match. As I usually play with relegation fodder (teams ranking 16 in leagues) I expect to lose many matches in earlier part of season when playing higher ranked teams (irrespective of the quality of the manager) or through timing (not in house to put in players that have been training prior to match) or being camped (with stupid percentage advantage given by spending Boss Coins) - and now lack of balanced squad through ill conceived positional set-up.
It is getting to the stage now that we need a Freebies/ small pocket league and a separate one for those that wish to buy their success. Currently we have a ridiculous situation where we have a list of 'Legends' where managers with the largest squad value are being hailed as heroes or legends, yet the only quality needed is being rich (or having a rich parent). GB to add a column to right hand side of the ranking of 'Legends' to indicate how much was spent to achieve such ranking - let us all see the extent of this nonsense. The title needs to be amended and only real legends of this game to be included such as historical top managers, those winning WC or crew battles etc.
The transfer list includes too many players that have to be bought at additional 5 Boss coins, usually strategically ranked/valued players (say €5-6m with next cheapest on transfer list being €16m), where many will not have any option other than to pay or go without and suffer a weakened team. -

But remember, GB wants to earn money so they will obviously have strategies to earn money, unknowingly punishing those who do not use money to play the game.
In GB's eyes, I believe that they feel that those pay to win players are more well respected then those who consciously log in a few times every single day to check progress and place players into the lineup...Follow me and repute my post / comments / replies so that I can be able to post more and help more people in the community.

I have left this game before for this reason. And it's still too much pay-to-win.
Also the new player positions: some positions are rare on the transfer list, so the managers that buy players via the scout get a bigger advantage now. I hope GB changes the system, but (as usual) we have not received any reply on questions / suggestions except from SpecialOne on the implementation day.
I still have no clue if a 90 skill DC is better as a DR than a DR with 85 or equal to a DL with 89 skill.

Ok, the feature's great, but I am in the Crew Cup and can't find the specific player I want. Neither I use scout as he asks for 15 boss coins. -

Please make specific player position visible on the website as well. Is not a difficult thing to do...

New in OSM: Specific Positions! We heard your call about more possibilities to expand your tactical skills as a manager in surveys, social platforms and emails. Thanks for that! We especially loved the idea of more player positions.
From now on, players in OSM have a specific position instead of only defender, midfielder and forward. For example, Sergio Ramos is now a centre back.
In OSM, players perform best in their own specific position, but they can still play in other positions in the line. Beware: players still perform worse in a different line.
Use your Scout or the Transfer List to build your best team with the specific positions of the players.
@specialone Can you let us know if our feedback in this topic is discussed with GameBasics?
After a weekend with a lot of transfer opportunity I still have the opinion that this Player Position updates reduces my tactical options. I have to focus on 1 formation like 4-3-3 A because I need specific players like a DM and an extra DC for 3-4-3 B. If I have to play 4-2-3-1 then I also need to buy 2 side midfielders. Before this tactics I used at least 4 different formation per season, but now I have to focus on one formation because it's too expensive to have for example 2 side midfielders which are ineffective in 4-3-3 A.
Also I can't improve my team as much as before. Because I need very specific replacements when I sell a player, for example a Left Forward when I sell my left forward. The transferlist if very vulnerable, because most of the time there is only 1 Left Forward available that is good enough. If someone else buys that Left Forward than I don't have a good player on that position anymore. Before the changes I could buy a forward with 14 defense and use him as a left forward, but now this costs me points when my opponent has more players on their best position. So this Player Position update does not only reduce tactical choices when it comes to formations, it also limits my opportunities to trade and build my squad via the transfer list.

So this Player Position update does not only reduce tactical choices when it comes to formations, it also limits my opportunities to trade and build my squad via the transfer list.
One more addition: it is more difficult to replace an injured or suspensed player now. Because of the lack of players on some positions it's not possible to replace for example Walker by a new DR because there is no DR on the transfer list. And placing a DC with 17 attack rate on DR now costs more points in the new system while is was a decent option in before the Specific Player Positions were introduced.
GB has to be aware that OSM is not like Fifa Manager where you can buy every player you want. Or they should change the scout price to 1 coin just like the transfer list.

We should be informed about how exactly having players in their right place affect the teams
Yesterday I lost to a lesser team( by 6 ) with 3 players out of position ( my team all in positions) and Home ( my stadium is
️️) and he was parking the bus in 451 without Original LM/RM/CAM- I had more possession, shots and corners too
So actually I dont get it anymore
Should I limit my self to formation that suits the specific positions of my players ?! Or it doesn’t have that much effect?Is it like chemistry by nation ( having 6 players is enough) or what any other number ?!
- I had more possession, shots and corners too
