If you aren’t sure how to change player position in FC 24, you’re in luck. After months of speculation, reveals, leaks and rumours, it’s time to experience everything that FC 24 has to offer. The game represents the dawn of a new era for EA Sports and we can’t wait to see what they have in store. 

Changing position is still a relatively new feature in FC 24 Career Mode. In FC 24 Ultimate Team, players automatically change position now that position modifiers have been removed. Players can now access Ultimate Team through the FC 24 Web App. Some lucky players even have FC 24 early access a week in advance of the full FC 24 release date.

Check below to find out how you can change players’ positions in FC 24. 

How to change player position in FC 24

There are multiple ways to change positions in FC 24. The first method, through manager mode, is as simple as viewing your lineup in the Career Mode hub and shifting players around using X (PlayStation) or A (Xbox). Through this, you can change formations and shift around your talent until they are perfectly placed for your needs. However, this won’t change their listed position.

Another way you can change a player’s position is by using the new player development toggle, enabling certain stars to train and shift to other roles on the pitch. 

In order to do this

  • Navigate to the ‘Squad’ tab
  • Select the ‘Squad Hub’ panel
  • Select the ‘Development Plan’ tab
  • Press RT (Xbox) or R2 (PlayStation) to switch from Growth to Position
  • Select the position you wish to change your player to

Bare in mind that some development plans take a long time and you could be waiting a while for your star to change their role. 

It’s best to train forward players in different forward positions, with the same applying for defenders and midfielders. Taking a defender and trying to train them into a striker simply will not work.

How to change position in Player Career:

  • Navigate to the ‘My Pro’ tab
  • Select the ‘player growth’ panel
  • Navigate to the ‘profile’ section and edit your position

Changing your position in Player Career Mode can impact your manager rating, so it’s often best to stick to the selection you make at the start of your pro’s journey.
