Putting this idea out there, and borrowing a concept from FUT

1) Enable a position change feature whereby managers can change the position of a player by one position either side within their lines (D/M/F). "Between-the-lines" midfielders would get a special "vertical" ability here, becoming even more flexible.

GK: cannot be changed
LB: can be changed to LDF
LDF: can be changed to LB or CDF
CDF: can be changed to LDF or RDF
RDF: can be changed to CDF or RB
RB: can be changed to RDF
DFM: can be changed to CDF or IM
LM: can be changed to LIM
LIM: can be changed to LM or IM
IM: can be changed to LIM or RIM
RIM: can be changed to IM or RM
RM: can be changed to RIM
OM: can be changed to IM or CF
LW: can be changed to LF
LF: can be changed to LW or CF
CF: can be changed to LF or RF
RF: can be changed to CF or RW
RW: can be changed to RF

Conditions
- Goalkeepers are excluded (so no sweeper keepers).
- You can only change one level from the player's "native" position, so you cannot change IM>OM>CF>RF, for example, but you could take a CDF and make them follow this route: CDF>LDF>CDF>RDF>CDF.
- You can change the player's position as many times as you like during his career
- Each change is visible to all users and takes 72 hours to complete to give fair warning to upcoming opponents.
- Each change costs, for example, 200GB.
- The player would train as if in position.
- The player's attributes will remain the same (so less suited to the non-native position than an equally attributed/skilled native). E.g. your CF will be able to play as a RF, but he will likely be slower than RFs normally are. Your DFM will likely not be so creative playing in the IM position.
- Normal lineup rules on maximum number of certain defenders, midfielders and attackers, and no more than two of each position would still apply.
- This feature would not be available for temporary promoted juniors.
- Players playing in a non-native position cannot be loaned out to other teams until back in their native position.
- You cannot change the position of loaned in players.


Reasons for implementing
- Generate revenue in the game
- Better training results
- Potentially better performances for teams with slightly lower squad depth when playing better opposition
- May reignite interest in training certain positions knowing they can be changed later
- Mirrors real football in that players can be given new positions. No CDF/CFs, though.


2) same as above, but on a temporary basis. E.g. 25GB for 72 hours.

Thoughts?
