The concept of Shapeshifters involves providing footballers with upgraded versions in brand new positions that completely redefine their style of play. Their stats and attributes are then adjusted to reflect their new roles, which is evident in Shapeshifters Team 1.

With the new positions for both Ousmane Dembele and Frenkie De Jong being unknown, FUT Sheriff has not included any predictions for the overall ratings and stats for their rumored Shapeshifters versions.

However, fans are already speculating what their new positions will be, as it will greatly affect their viability in the current meta of FIFA 23.

While De Jong has the in-game build and physical stature to be viable in a multitude of positions in both offense and defense, Dembele is rather weak and will be a liability if deployed as a defender.

Based on the first roster of special cards, it is highly likely that the Dutchman will be positioned as a defender, while the Frenchman will retain his attacking role but with a unique twist.
