60+ matches, 10% of training into new position and still a dark yellow dot

As the title says I have been training a young MC to play as MR since a year and a half and he played on that position for more than 60 matches but, despiting that, when I place into the MR position it appears a dark yellow dot like it was the first month. He is a natural MC so there is also not so much difference playing as MR.

Of course he is been training into his new position since 2 years and he plays on that position since 2 years.

How can I modify his brain in order to avoid his lobotomized grey head material strikes back again and again ?

Thanks

The hidden VERSATILITY attribute is important to how well players learn a new position. If his is low, you're wasting your time.

some players just cannot adapt as well to new positions. it helps if they can already play in that position more or less. ryan babel on the game, i think, is a green dot for attacking right. but a red for midfield right. so i retrain him as midfield right and he turns green after a few months.

Do you mean that despiting 2 years of training and matches and the same future ahead , I won't be able to do a step forward the dark yellow dot ?

thanks

I always thought any player can learn a new position but it can take years if the hidden attributes are extremely low.

to be honest i'm skeptical to positional rating having too much of a weighting in the match engine anyway because i've played people out of position eg DC's at DR/L or MC's at MR/L or MR/L in MC or FCs at AM R/L with good performances (quite regularly too) regardless

I played my regen who is natural at CM, AMC RM and AMR at striker gave him creative settings and despite him having no position for stiker he play 4 games scored 3 goals assisted 2 and averaged 7.8 for the game he played at striker. Maybe stats are just as or maybe more important than postional ability.

Some players will never learn a new position well. That's just the way it is, and it's realistic.
