Retrain player
I don't know if this has been suggested before (it probably has), but anyway, here's perhaps a new angle on it: allow re-training of players to fit them into a new position. This happens in RL and I think it would be a cool feature in SP under certain limits.
My idea would be to allow retraining a player to a new position at the expense of resetting his abilities in the core fields of his new position (e.g. if you retrain someone for CB, his skills in heading and tackling should be reset).
This means you'll have to train the retrained player for a while before you can effectively use him in a new position. There's got to be some penalty ofc.
The point is that sometimes you can have a player with good tackling skills who is playing midfield. Would be awfully nice to move him to defense if you're short on CBs. Etc.
My suggestion would be to limit possible retraining to:
SW<=>CB
LB<=>LM
RB<=>RM
CB<=>CM
LM<=>LF
RM<=>RF
CM<=>CF
GK: no retraining.
But I'd also limit retraining to once per player.
So you cannot for example go:
LB=>LM=>LF .
The reason why I suggest something like left side players staying on the left is because I seem to read that the center field players are the most expensive. So it would probably mess up the transfer market if all kinds of players could be made center field players.
There could also be other penalties introduced. Like loss of morale or a monetary cost or something.

I really like it...
I do wonder about 1 thing.
All three groups (DEF/MID/ATT) have 1 unique skill:
Defenders: Play it out
Midfielders: Playmaking
Attackers: Insight
So if you switch from one group to the other, you can keep those skills that are in both groups, but this 1 skill will go away and you have to train from 0 on the new skill, not knowing how good it will become.
Hmmm.... Now that I think about it, this makes it even more interesting.
I love this idea!!

Ehm...no? The whole idea was to retrain them for a new ideal position. They will 'forget' their old position. I.e. you shouldn't be able to use them in two positions. Otherwise retraining will become a nobrainer.02knowlesm wrote:Gd idea
But would the players still be able to play as their original position or not?
Keyelpk: I don't see how that changes the option to retrain SWs. It just means their tackling, heading and whatnot is going to be reset and then they emerge as a CB.
Btw.: does anyone happen to know if Sjarel ever considers all these suggestions? Let alone, does he read them at all?
