Player Tactics: Default Roles

Just pulling together a lineup and...

And it would seem everyone should be a 'Screener'? Even if they have another role that would be dramatically stronger. Never seen that before.

That looks like the starting default, that's just a placeholder. If it's an AI team it'll reset them before playing a game, or if it's yours, the "AI set roles" option on the dropdown menu will do it for you if you want.

I was in the process of setting them one-by-one, I was just surprised it didn't pull up the top role for that person like I believe FHM6 did, just didn't expect 9 of 12 to default at 'Screener' is all, seemed odd.

Nope, 6 would do it as well. I can't remember the exact circumstances, but I've definitely seen that before 7.

Just for the record all the defense defaulted to 'Screener' which isn't even a defensive assignment. shouldn't they at least pick a defensive role?

No, it's not actually picking anything, that's just the default value. It'll change to something more appropriate as soon as the AI needs to change it (or you do it.)
