The 4 win team I inherited had a mix of 3-4 & 4-3 players. I find out now that MLB & ILB are different & we get penalized. Just a quick glance at your roster patteeu & you're full of these differences.
You have 5 LB's that are 4-3, 2-SLB 3-WLB
a 3-4 DE,
four 4-3 DEs,
a MLB & OLB 3-4
a misnamed Sheldon Richardson, he's listed as DT, should be DE in a 3-4.
three 4-3 DT's'
and a partridge in a peartree.


Now, how in the world am I suppose to figure out what your D is? See what I mean?
I can see why you'd have trouble figuring out what my D is, but I'm not sure why it matters to you.

Aside from that, I'm not sure what the problem is (aside from not realizing that OLB vs WLB/SLB and ILB vs MLB meant). I have a mishmash of these players because I decided that I'd rather try to target good players (admittedly with only limited success) than start out by worrying about the out-of-position penalty on the assumption that the penalty wasn't as great as the difference between a good player and a bad player. Now that I'm a season into the game, I'll try to work toward a roster that is more consistent with the scheme I'll play.* I played a LT at RT all of last season on the theory that my 2nd best LT was a better player than my best RT. I don't know if that hurt me or helped me, but in the real NFL I'm pretty sure William Beatty would have started ahead of any of the RTs on my roster so I went with it. As it turned out, with a bunch of no-names at skill positions, I think my offensive line must have been treated pretty favorably by the sim based on my competitive results.

* I played a 4-3 last year because 4-3 DE was a strength. Haloti Ngata had to play 4-3 DT instead of the 3-4 DE he played last year. When I drafted this year, I started out with the assumption that I'd try to get 4-3 players, but I took Sheldon Richardson in the 1st as BPA, one of my better 4-3 DEs switched to 3-4 OLB, Ngata moved to NT and with most teams playing 3-4, I'm having second thoughts.
