Best position Vs player roles/formation

[Richard76]

I've just been reading Prozone's great thread/tool to identify your players best roles.

This got me thinking.

It turns out my 2 best strikers are both best suited to the poacher role.

So, is it a bad idea to play them both together on the same poacher role?

Would it be best not to play both my best strikers together but instead play a much worse player in a more complementary strking position e.g. a target man?

Your thoughts would be appreciated.

I think the role of a player should mostly depending on the way your team plays.

For example, if you are playing defensively, even you have 2 great wing back you would want them to be a fullback instead.

I think you can have two poachers, but you need to make sure that they have enough support.

yes playing two poachers would be a bad idea if you are going to try to beat any quality teams. If your Man Utd playing Colchester sure you can play two poachers and win but if your Man Utd playing chelsea you'll get dominated. Do you have somebody who can play AMC well and play them good through balls. Because they won't help you keep possession or build really at all. But if you have a good AMC it might work. Never tried it though.
