IF Brisbane right back Jack Hingert ever starts taking his first-team spot for granted, he only needs to check the Roar teamsheet for Ivan Franjic's name.
Hingert has been the biggest beneficiary of Brisbane coach Mike Mulvey's decision to move Franjic out of the Roar's defensive line into more attacking midfield and wing roles.
Socceroos boss Ange Postecoglou sees things differently, having declared Franjic will only be considered at right fullback for the national team.
With Irish midfielder Liam Miller close to returning from a calf injury, Mulvey will soon have a selection headache.
While it is unlikely he will return Franjic to right back to make room for Miller's return, Mulvey has that option, which is keeping Hingert well and truly on his toes.

"No matter what team you play for, there's always players who can play in your position,'' said 23-year-old Hingert, who is enjoying his best start to an A-League season, with seven successive starts in Brisbane's table-topping team.
"Especially here at Brisbane with the depth that we've got, it is hard and there's always pressure, but that's probably another reason we're doing so well.
"I'd love to play every game this season. This is definitely the best and most consistent start I've had since I've been here.
"I did have to be a bit patient when I first came. The last two years I've been in and out.
"Now Mike's given me the opportunity to really cement my spot and that's what I'm going to try to do."
Hingert joined the Roar in 2011 after two seasons with the now defunct North Queensland Fury, where his teammates included current Brisbane skipper Matt Smith.

"Like me, Jack has developed as a player since joining the Roar from the Fury and he's still developing," Smith said.
"He has to wait his turn at the Roar but he has earnt his spot in our team. The right back spot is now his position to lose."
Hingert's credentials will be given a stern test tomorrow when he goes head-to-head with flying Perth winger Sidnei Sciola.
The Brazilian has been the Glory's best outlet in attack this season and will again try to cause havoc out wide for Perth, who will be without suspended skipper Jacob Burns and injured pair William Gallas and Scott Jamieson.
"He's had a good start to the season, so it's going to be a good test for me, but I like that, I like having a good test," Hingert said.
"I can deal with his speed. I look forward to having a good battle with him.
"We enjoy the competitiveness. Hopefully they come out firing. We're going to do the same."
Roar goalkeeper Michael Theo did not train yesterday, but is no doubt for tomorrow's clash, with rest being given as the reason for his absence.
