Do you have to play them in the conventional DM role infront of the back 4 or can they be just as effective in the MC position?

I ask as i have just signed Banega but play a straight forward 4-4-2 formation with no anchorman?

Cheers

Check out his "position" screen, that will tell you were he's comfortable playing.

Have a look at the positions screen in his profile and ti will tell you how good he is in the MC position. A DM or an AMC should be able to cope with the MC position.

I have Pavel Pardo in my Blackburn team and his positions say only DM, but I play him in normal MC and he is fine. Sometimes if I'm really worried about a match I put an arrow on him, but I've only played him in DM when I played Man U and really didn't want to lose so I played 2 DMs and still lost.

I use DM's as MC's with success quite often.

Also remember that just because they are listed as DM only, doesn't mean they can't be equally good as MC.

I have players that are NATURAL as both MC and DMC, but are only listed as DMC in their profile

Cheers for the responses but i did kind of know that i guess i just wasn't clear enough in my question. Banega is a natural DM and an Accomplished MC, does this mean that to really get the best out of him i HAVE to play him DM? Also the same applies with Hargreaves, not sure where best he will fit in?

In theory a player will play better in a position he is listed as being Natural in then a position that he is listed as being Accomplished.

But if the positions are similar, i.e DM and MC or AMR and MR, then there should be little difference in his effectiveness.

A player could even play well in a position he has no rating for as long as his attributes make his suitable to play there.
