O-line men: Jack of all trades?!
by jhartshorn @ 6/03/2017 4:16 pm
So, I'm trying to trawl through all top teams rosters to spot where they place most weighting in choosing their number one starters for each position. I've just been through a number of top teams who have confused me greatly.
Nearly every player that I clicked on was in the depth chart at a different position to his assigned position. I get this if it's one odd player or a cover position due to injuries but not nearly each man! RG's playing as LT. LGs playing as RT/LTs etc.

Any ideas?? Is it perhaps to do with trying to adjust the player's weight according to position??

Ouch, the Tigers have fallen to fourth on jhart's power rankings. I hate to think where that puts the Ironborn...

To answer your question, it's usually to give that player experience at the other position. Once I have a player on the o-line at 100 XP at his "natural" position, I then immediately swap them to a position they haven't learned yet. That way if injuries hit I can retool my o-line on the fly without a huge hit to their performance from lack of XP.

Ok thanks. Just assumed guard and tackle positrons weren't so interchangeable - From the book I'm reading they all have slight nuances

Re my power rankings: ha ha maybe I should have a thread for these! ! :0

Think of me as a feeder club to your mighty Chelsea - no harm to share your reasoning etc as we'll never be up there with you lot! But I'm determined to do my **** best to get there one day!
