Possible problem with player roles and their positions in IQ

First let me say that I am really excited for the IQ feature and all the new tactical setups you can create. Now you can really adopt real life tactics like Pep's 3-2-2-3 in possession or do some crazy experiments.

But after checking some of the player profiles on FUT.GG I am seeing some possible problems coming up, that could cause a lot of frustrations. These problems are that some players have ++ roles at certain positions, but cannot play these roles in similar positions.

For example Son:

On Fut.GG it says his main position is ST, with the alternate position LM. His roles are ST Advanced Forward ++, LM Inside Forward +, ST False 9 +

As he does not have the position LW, he will be out of position if you use a 4-3-3 for example. In my opinion this is stupid, as he also clearly his word class in LW and Tottenham do play it more as LW anyway.

I think his main position should be LW and ST, LM, RW and RM his alternate positions as he has played all of those in his career.
His roles should be LW Inside Forward ++, LM Inside Forward ++ and ST Adanved Forward +.


Another example is Arsenal's Timber. As far as I can see he can only play CB now. His roles are CB Stopper + and Ball Playing Defender +.
So far in his Arsenal career he mainly played as a left falseback. At Ajax he also played as a RB, so his positions should be CB, RB and LB.

For career mode this problem can be fixed via training, but outside of that this can be very annoying as you cannot really replicate real life roles of players if they don't play the positions in game.


There are several solutions to this matter:

1. EA holds their word that they heavily analyse player roles in real life and add all correct positions via updates

2. Let us edit players and their alternate positions and roles for offline game modes ourselves

3. "Streamline" more positions. They already got rid of RWB, LWB, CF, RF and LF. In principle you can get rid of CAM, CDM, RM and LM as well.

Examples:
- Bellingham would be a CM with the roles Shadow Striker (++), Box-To-Box (+), Playmaker (+)
- De Bruyne would be a CM with the roles Playmaker (++), Half-Winger (++)
- Rice would be a CM with the roles Holding (++) and Box-To-Box (+)
- Rodri would be a CM with the roles Deep-Lying Playmaker (++) and Holding (+)


What do you think about this?

  • @GermanGunner_89 I would guess it’s like in the past position changes or weak foot upgrades ect. It will allow them to add different upgrades. When Ronaldo or Messi got striker positions they were often supper sought after.
