Vangelis21 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Any real life examples please? I have never seen it before in fm. Do you think this guy is worth it due to the two natural positions? Any other players (even regens) like that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vangelis21 Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 I will take a look at those guys! in the midtime take a look at this. is THIS possible in fm? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samb_95 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I've seen it on the game before, but don't know if it happens in real life or not Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vangelis21 Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 1. Gary doherty is unconvincing in striker's position in fm so it doesn't count. 2. I can't find this Dion Dublin guy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar2010 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I've had various players with more than one natural position. DLC/DRC seems fairly common, also seen MLC/MCRs and wingers that are natural on both flanks. Most unusual I've seen is a DMC/DR in the past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samb_95 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I can't find this Dion Dublin guy He's retired, played for many clubs including Aston Villa, coventry and Man Utd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavenagh Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 John Charles, Chris Sutton and arguably Sol Campbell (Who first appeared as a striker a for Spurs). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vangelis21 Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 just to make it clear for some that seemed confused. it is not strange that he is natural in ANY two positions. He is natural in the two totally opposite positions! As for Campbell. yes i knew it but still he didn't ever make it as a striker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samb_95 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Dublin regularly played as a striker, as well as a centre-back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AB-forever Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Dion Dublin, Chris Sutton, Gary Doherty etc. were/are all tall players though. Smaller players who are not great defensively (like the player in the opening post) should not be natural centre backs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jld123 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 There are lots of real life examples lower down the leagues, so can't see why it shouldn't happen occasionally to a top team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smaller players who are not great defensively (like the player in the opening post) should not be natural centre backs. the player in the original post is not great defensively but could easily improve as he young. he is however tall enough for a decent centre back, not much shorter in fact than Sol Campbell if wiki is right.

But usually strikers who can play centre back are target men who can win most of their headers. Eventually when they play centre back several times (possibly in training as well) they learn some defensive abilities but having both positions as "Natural" is ridiculous. It is either a striker who has learnt defensive moves or a big defender playing as a target man up front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Shanahan Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 John Charles, Chris Sutton and arguably Sol Campbell (Who first appeared as a striker a for Spurs). I remember reading in World Soccer back last century that John Charles was under orders at Juve to go back as an extra centre half as soon as they went 1-0 up (usually by him scoring) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFraser Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Manchester United cannot expand Old Traffords south stand due to the railway line behind the ground. Arsenal could not expand Highbury, Manchester City could not expand Maine Road. There are huge numbers of examples of grounds that cannot/could not be expanded due to housing/location etc. A simple generic "Council blocks expansion" message is good enough to replicate this.
