ah right - true true although my explanation was incomplete as this even happens if/when i go to drop just one midfielder.

i have 5 defenders/5 midfielders/3 forwards. can i not drop a mid for a forward i guess is the pertinent question

I think you have to have a certain number of each but I'm not the best one to ask. That said, my team has been doing fairly well since the disastrous first few weeks. #teamnohaaland

You cannot drop a mid for a forward so that you have 5 D, 5 M, 4 F (including subs). All teams (including both starters and your four bench spots) need 2 goalies, 5 defenders, 5 midfielders and 3 forwards.

From that group of 15, you have to field a team for that week that has 1 goalie, at least 3 defenders, at least 2 midfielders, and at least 1 forward.

That's 7 must haves for your starting roster. Your other 4 starters for the week can be any mix you want. 5-4-1, 5-3-2, 5-2-3, 4-5-1, 4-4-2, 4-3-3, 3-5-2, 3-4-3 are all doable combos for your starters.

And, there are limits to the numbers of players on your roster from each position. And from each epl team.
