Training new position from the start

[R00dris]

I got a 4-stars promise 17 year old right wing back who has good dribbling and finishing skills, so I'm thinking of training him as a right winger / second striker, even if it takes years. Is it even possible, or not?

Has anyone ever tried this?

Yeah I've had alot of success retraining positions.

I retrained him from CM to LW and he became a god.

You can and the earlier you start the better.

Following on from the T.I.P.S. Ajax system, brilliantly highlighted by FM legend Cleon in an article of his (google it its awesome) I actually now always ensure that at least my youth prospects if not all of my squad are proficient in at least 3 positions. Makes having to bring people in less and less a necessity.
