Here, we\u2019re going to run through a step-by-step guide to changing player positions for your Manager Career. In a world of fluid front threes and changing formations, it\u2019s never been more important for EA Sports FC managers to be aware of the flexibilities in their squad. Just look at John Stones at Manchester City dropping into midfield, or Trent Alexander-Arnold at Liverpool. Just like real life, some players in EA FC 24 can play multiple positions, some of which they can learn fast, and others they can grind towards completing the transformation. So, have you got a wingback that should be a fullback or an attacking midfielder that could be a striker? Well, let\u2019s take a look at how to change positions in Career Mode. How to change position in EA FC 24 Career Mode The following method works for all sorts of players, meaning defenders, midfielders, and attackers can learn new positions in your Career Mode. Just follow these simple steps: Open up your Career Mode in EA FC &#8211; Scroll to the Squad tab, and then click Squad Hub &#8211; Select a player you would like to see change position &#8211; Hit Development Plan &#8211; Press R2 or RT (if playing on PS &#038; Xbox) and select a position for them to grow into &#8211; The ETA shows a countdown of weeks until the position can be changed &#8211; You will then receive an email \u2013 confirming they are ready to change position &#8211; Go back into the player\u2019s Squad Hub tab until you see their \u2018Change Position\u2019 white banner appear &#8211; Select them, hit Development, and press Triangle or A to confirm the change &#8211; How long does it take to change position? Your player can change position in EA FC after as little as two weeks of training. That\u2019s right, play a few games, and your CAM could be a striker or a winger in no time. Be sure to not get too ambitious, though, as the ETA for your change could be as long as a year if you\u2019ve got some crazy ideas. In our playthrough, some midfielders looking to make a transition into defence took as long as 300 weeks \u2013 an incredibly long time, even if you\u2019re simulating. So, make sure when you\u2019re signing a player that they can easily slot into the role you\u2019re planning otherwise you will waste a lot of the transfer kitty.
