On many occassions I have stressed the need for you to play a few positions and be flexible as players.
This serves two main purposes:
1. Increases the likelyhood of getting game time
2. Makes the team more flexible when tactics need to be overhauled
Read this article on how Arsenal overcame Everton with just a couple of changes: http://www.zonalmarking.net/2011/02/02/arsenal-2-1-everton-tactics/
As you can see, players have to be able to change during a match in order for the team to get results.
Can you play in a 4-4-2, 4-2-3-1 or 3-5-2?
The short answer is yes because they are very similar when you really look at them. We in fact, change shape during the match to suit what we are trying to achieve but we have to be able to read what the opposition is doing in order to stop them from achieving.
