Lineups Position Changes

Is there any possibility we could pull the player position from the feed and not from the db for lineups?

For example, the Brentford v Newcastle event tonight has Brentford with two defenders when they’re playing a back four with two midfielders in defence. It’d be good to have representation of players playing out of position, not just their default position shown

Good question.... I just had a look at the source and they are simplified single letter positions:

G, D, M, F


I'm not sure if this is any better, what do you think?

Actually I had the idea to add a new field called strPositionShort so we have the best of both worlds

Will only work on new synced lineups though.

Ah great thinking, should be too tricky to implement on my end, cheers
