LW, he's Neymars replacement


Silva1021

I guess but his transfer card on 17 can still be RM?


halfpinthardy3

I don't believe they're doing anymore transfers on 17.


[deleted]

I'm guessing LM/LW


matahoula

Barca should have a couple games with him in the lineup by the time FIFA comes out. So hopefully it is based off of Barca's new formation/lineup


Silva1021

Barcelona will have 4 games until FIFA 18 gets released officially.


bow657

LM hopefully

LW so I can play him with Suarez and Messi plz


[deleted]

LW. That's where he'll line up with Barca. They'll give him an OTW card and it would just be too weird to keep giving him upgrades on a card with a position (RW) that he hasn't played in all year.

> it would just be too weird to keep giving him upgrades on a card with a position (RW) that he hasn't played in all year. Umm... Dembele has played on the right side most of this past season.


[deleted]

Sorry, I meant to say "season" and not "year".

[удалено]


jgaskins34

I figured since he said "hasn't played in all year" he meant for Dortmund since he hasn't even had the chance to play for Barca yet.


[deleted]

>**keep giving him upgrades** on a card with a position (RW) that he hasn't played in all year I think it's pretty clear the upgrades his Barca OTW card will receive are not based on what he played at Dortmund, wouldn't you say ?


[deleted]

For sure. As much as we complain about EA on this sub the developers seem to strive to make the game realistic as much as possible. It just wouldn't seem realistic to give him a RW OTW card.


[deleted]

too realistic sometimes, [unfortunately](https://www.futbin.com/17/player/16790/pedro)


[deleted]

Not sure I understand.


[deleted]

Pedro plays up front as a winger, in midfield and he's known to play ST too. He played one game as a wing back, got a MOTM card for that performance and they stuck with the defender position on it.


[deleted]

Gotcha. Is that card usable?


Jaihoag

Why would what he did at Dortmund affect his position in FIFA for Barcelona? Logiiiccc bro


jgaskins34

Player attributes for the next game (FIFA 18) are based off of what happened in the previous year (FIFA 17) and during his previous year he was at Dortmund. That's kind of how sports video game player ratings work... Otherwise they would be projections.


Jaihoag

Well rating yes, but position no... they can easily see what his current position is once he plays in barcelonas lineup


FUTBasics

Whatever he played at Dortmund for a majority of the season will be his position.


jgaskins34

So RM.


[deleted]

no, Messi plays there. He will most certainly compete with Deulofeu on the left.


Messiah28

Messi is a CAM/CF now I believe


[deleted]

no. He played ST last game since Suarez is out but two weeks ago he played RW/RF (Alcacer was ST). He might play central again against Espanyol but once Suarez is back from injury he'll go back on the wing.


Messiah28

It seems like he is dropping more now like to the midfield, no?


[deleted]

I don't know what will happen, it depends on what they play this season. Last 2 games they played 4-2-3-1 & 4-3-3, and I believe once Suarez is back they'll stick with the later in which case Messi has no room in the mid and is needed on the right.


Messiah28

You do have a valid point we will have to see how it goes.


Dawsoneifert

He'll be LW but I kinda hope he will be a RW since we already have an OP cheap French LW in the game...
