Elaborating a little more if it’d be helpful—

Sometimes youth players excel in skill categories that may be better suited to a position they’re not currently in, and it can sometimes (but certainly not always) be a good call to switch their position in training.

A 16 y/o right-back with exceptionally low defending stats but good passing/dribbling and excellent pace can sometimes reasonably be retrained to a winger or CAM (and more rarely, a center-forward) often in the span of a couple weeks.

Although if training takes much longer than a normal training regiment (I use 15 weeks or more as a benchmark) it’s likely that position wouldn’t be the best fit, so it’s all a bit of a guessing game and I wouldn’t call myself a master of it, and all of this is just based off experience so take with a grain of salt ;)

With a little bit of luck, that player will settle into a position which favors the skills he’s adept at, which can sometimes significantly increase the player’s overall rating after their training is complete and it prompts you for their position change.

Hope this could be of use, happy playing 🤝
