The simplest solution is to have 2 versions, one where the data reflects McCluster as a RB and the other as a WR.

The BEST solution (although more difficult to code)would be the ability to modify a player's position

Bump.
Has anyone come up with any solution that works?

PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT IF YOU CANNOT FULLY UNDERSTAND ANY OF THE STEPS DESCRIBED HERE !!!!!!


Only thing that works for me is to modify two files:

projfordd-forward.php

projfordd-weekly.php

Both files are in the FBG\LineupDominator folder most likely on your C Drive.

If you are comfortable using NOTEPAD or other text editor, here are the steps I perform to change McCluster to a WR

1. Open projfordd-forward.php file using NOTEPAD
2. Select FIND from EDIT MENU
3. In the FIND WHAT Box enter McCluster and select FIND NOW
4. You should be at a line that looks like this: McClDe00,McCluster,Dexter,RB,RB,kan,0,0,0,0,0,0,110,500,1,2,52,325.....
5. BE CAREFUL !!!! Change the two RB values to WR (CAPS) making sure not to remove any commas
6. EXIT NOTEPAD making sure to reply YES to save the file.

5. BE CAREFUL !!!! Change the rb value to wr (LOWERCASE) making sure not to remove any commas
6. EXIT NOTEPAD making sure to reply YES to save the file.

Next time you open LD McCluster will show up as a WR. Be aware that in the PAST WEEKS he will show up as a WR, but be grouped with RB's. I have yet to figure that out.

The main caveat to this is you MUST repeat this EVERY TIME YOU UPDATE THE WEEKLY PROJECTIONS. If you manage to screw up the file(s) just reinstall LD from FBG web site.

Thank you Blue Meanie.
That worked.
Good job and interesting.

I always find this to be an issue with Terrell Suggs as well. The NFL and his own team view him as a LB and list him as such. Why FBGs continues to call him a DL is beyond me. Not helpful.
