Positions

These correspond with the text descriptions found at the top of the left side panel. Six strengths of position are considered:

Natural – This is the player’s natural position and the one he will perform at his peak in.
Accomplished – The player isn’t naturally at his best in this position but will perform in an accomplished and successful manner.
Competent – The player has enough experience and ability to put in convincing performances here, but don’t expect any fireworks or long-term success.
Unconvincing – The player is playing out of position but will be able to do a decent job for a short period.
Awkward – The player isn’t likely to be particularly successful playing in this position. He may fill in for emergencies but will be struggling.
Ineffectual – The player cannot play this position. You are free to play him there but he will not perform well.

The screen also displays the competence of a player with either foot as well as any preferred moves he may have. This is really important when you consider setting up the Wide Play instruction: eg. If you are playing a left footed Winger on the right, you should set him up to Cut Inside - that way he will have more chances of getting something out of an action.
