GK as defender (9)

tr Baba Hindi >> monday february 22 - 11:37

I know it is not possible to place a GK as defender even if I wish. But due to some bug, my GK was playing as a defender :D such a great game engine.

Not a bug at all. 

1. It is possible to play a keeper as a defender. Not usually a good idea but nothing stops you. 

2. When the game does automatic subs for an injury then I believe it chooses the strongest player, by rating, for the position.  With no defenders left on the bench then the keeper was the best option as his Blocking makes him a stronger defender than the other choices. The game is working as designed.

"1. It is possible to play a keeper as a defender. Not usually a good idea but nothing stops you. "

Not if you place him in sub GK. You can never choose another position for your sub-GK if you make the substitution by yourself. This is a bug because you cannot do it, but the system can do it. So, this should not be possible. This is a bug, or the rules should change and we could also substitute our sub-GK for other positions as well.

Never tried it but it might be almost like defender on DM position that work often better than "real" mids.

As you wish. 

As I stated you can play a keeper as a defender - nothing stops you. Either from the start or by placing him in a non-keeper postion on the bench. The game just treats them as any other player. 

Using the keeper spot on the bench for substitutions is a different thing entirely. However, it can still be used for other positions as shown in this match here:

@Numpty i can't get the gk sub position work for an outfield player.

For that you put player you want to sub off to GK position and set the substitution. Then move him to his correct position and put correct keeper.
