Equality

In the course of the Deep Dive to the Ultimate Team mode in FIFA 23 EA SPORTS revealed that there will be a different mechanism concerning the position changes in the future. Position Modifiers like in FIFA 22 will not exist anymore. The possibility to change a ST to a ZDM with position cards is no longer given in FUT 23.

Instead, players now have Alternative Positions. In addition to their preferred position, each player has at least one and a maximum of three Alternative Positions in which they can play. Thus, a left defender can possibly also play as a right defender or even as a centre 6, as long as he has these Alternative Positions. However, this makes the position modifier cards a thing of the past.

This is how the change works

In the future, there will only be one position change card that allows you to change a player from his current position to one of his Alternative Positions or back to his regular position. Especially players like central defenders will benefit from this new mechanic, as they did not have position modifiers in the past.

Special cards also benefit from the new position mechanics. This is because special cards could well receive new Alternative Positions as opposed to their base cards. Players who have performed well in an unfamiliar position could thus become playable in completely different positions. Goalkeepers, however, should generally be excluded from the new function.
