What FIFA 20 position change cards do?

One of the most important factors in team chemistry is if players are playing in their preferred positions or not. Although they could play in any position, the team’s chemistry and the individual chemistry are strengthened if they are placed in the position printed on their cards or, at least, in a similar position. You can learn more about this subject here.

As it is not always possible to make these positions match, there are position cards that help you to solve this problem. These cards are equivalent to training to adapt players to a new position on the field.

The position cards allow you to change the preferred position of a player to the one that is printed on the card. For each card that you use, you can change a single player’s position only once. Using several cards, you can change the player’s position as many times as you want, including getting back to his original position. Before applying a position card to a player to fix his position on the field, make sure that he already doesn’t have maximum individual chemistry. If he does, you don’t have to apply the position card

However, it is necessary to have in mind that the position’s cards contain information about the old and the new position. If a player’s favourite position doesn’t match with the old position printed on the card, we cannot apply that card to him. It means, for example that you will never transform a right back into a right winger.

Each position card can only be applied to a player and the effect lasts until you apply a new position card on him. Sometimes, you need to apply several position cards to get the position you want. For example: to transform a CAM into a ST, you need to apply a CAM-CF card and then a CF-ST card. In other hand, goalkeepers’ position cannot be changed to anything else.

The position cards can not be boosted by any staff.

Should I buy FIFA 20 Position Change Cards?

When a player is assigned to play in a strange position to himself, the chemistry is strongly affected. Independently of his connections with team mates, he will never have more than an individual chemistry of 4, which is very bad. However, it will also affect team chemistry.

If you bought or received a player with a different position from the one that he will play, apply him a position card in order to at least adapt him to a similar position (see the table of similar positions).

On the other hand, if your players already have an individual chemistry of 10, you should not waste coins with position cards. In these cases, they can play in the wrong position that it will not affect their performance.

If you want to apply a card or a sequence of position cards to a player you own, check which option is cheaper: buy the position card(s) and apply it on him; or go to the transfer market to sell your player card and buy another card of the same player but already in the desired position.

The CAM-CM, CM-CDM and ST-CF cards are usually the most popular ones.

  1. I have James special card on CM I want him to make it RB can you tell me how too

    If not what do you suggest

        1. You can convert a CAM to a CDM and if you play a CDM at CB it won’t completely ruin your chemistry

  2. If I change the position does that mean that the player loses rating if he isn’t played in his original position. For example, I have Ian Wright, according to futhead, as a striker he has 89 rating and as a cm he has 79. In my main screen I changed him to a cm for chemistry does that mean in game he will lose his rating?

  3. Hi
    If I had a ST. Can I change him from ST>CF CF>RF RF>RW is this possible?
    Thanks

  4. If I use position modifiers to change my Haland (for example) from ST to CDM (to enable team chemistry) but then in game switch to a custom tactic where Haland is playing as ST, does this affect his player rating?

    I see on some websites that they rate Haland’s 95 card as only 85 at CDM.
    Does this mean he will play as an 85 ST when I push him up front in game, because he is modified as a CDM?

      1. I get the chemistry side of it.
        But what about his rating? If I move him to ST in game, will he play as a 95 rated player, or an 85 rated player, because is a CDM card?

    1. As you can see here, if you want to use a player as a CAM, you should apply him modifier position items to transform him into a CDM, CM or CF. Unfortunately, that is not possible with an LF player.

  5. Hi , does the chemistry get affected If you play a certain player as a CAM in 41212 , but in custom tactics (while attacking) , you change they Formation to 433 and your CAM now plays as Winger ?

      1. i can’t find a RW >> RWB modifier. Only RW>>RM and RB>>RWB
        Are you sure there is one?

  6. Can i change a rm to cam by:
    RM>>RW
    RW>>RF
    and then put this RF as a CAM (it wont matter if his position is in orange as long as it is not in red)
    PLZ PLZ anyone reply

      1. Prashanth Francis

        Is it possible to improve chemistry of an LM in CM position by using any of the chemistry style?

        1. Hi. Chemistry styles don’t affect how much chemistry you will get. They affect which stats will be boosted.
          As you can see in the table, the chemistry of an LM will be slightly affected when playing as CM

  7. Sorry I didn’t see that my first comment was still active. When I checked back it was not visible. Please just ignore one Rodrigo thanks Ryan

  8. So I’m seeing NDIDI as a striker, as well as DE Byrne and even Wijnaldum. They are TOTW cards, but that’s dosent seem like it should matter. I have the 90 Sterling as a L.W. and I’d like to run him as a striker in a 4-1-2-1-2. I saw him as a striker w this card as well as Martial. Now Martial actually leads the line in real life so I feel like this position change should be available. Kante appears as a striker in transfers too. Like how in the world is this happening. As I type this Wijnaldums 86 TOTW card is a striker for 152,000, Martial 85 TOTW for 281,000, NDIDI 84 47,250. Am I missing something. I have the NDIDI card but don’t want him as a striker. I do however want to move my Martial to Striker.

  9. How are people moving cdm to striker, LW to striker and other position changes that don’t seem possible. I’ve seen NDIDI as a striker, DE Byrne as a striker, Wijnaldum and Sterlings LW as a striker.

    1. Hi. CDMs can be easily moved to an ST, applying the right sequence of position modifier items: CDM>CM, CM>CAM, CAM>CF and CF>ST.
      LWs cannot be moved to ST, unless they have special cards with different positions (CM, CAM, CF…)

  10. I have a King CAM, but I bought cam>ca and ca>sp but I can’t find how to use them? (Sorry I’m a player from belgium)
