What is FM17 Position?

The FM17 position system calculates a player's suitability for a specific position by considering their attributes and how they contribute to that position. The position rating ranges from 0 to 20, with higher values indicating better suitability for the position.

FM17 Position Formula

The FM17 position rating is calculated using the following formula:

Position Rating = Σ (Attribute Value × Position Weight) / 100

Where:

Σ = Sum of all relevant attributes
Attribute Value = Player's value for each attribute (0-20)
Position Weight = Weight assigned to each attribute for the selected position

The position weights are based on the official FM17 position rating system and vary depending on the position being evaluated.
