Bolson Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Hi all, I was shown a screenshot of a EURO 2012 match between Russia and Ukraine. Everything was fine, except that the player was given a report regarding his Goalkeeper Kostyantyn Makhnovskyi (Polish outfit Legia Warsaw) that played in this game. Again, everything seems to be OK, but here's the kicker. His goalie played as a... AM L! Situation repeated during Ukraine - Italy game. Can anyone tell me what's going on?

CMdan44 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 the GK can probably play on the wing. Peter Cech started life as a winger in his youth team and Sheffield Wednesday's legendry keeper Kevin Pressman often said he could also play on the wing if required, it's rare in real life that a GK can/does play outfield positions and i don't think i've ever seen/heard of a keeper starting outfield and i can't see why it's in the game but it's not impossible. have you a screenie of the player's ratings for each position (if they're even on FM2011) and/or his outfield attributes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattleydon Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 North Koreas GK was also a striker in the world cup squad IIRC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluesigns Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Other way round - North Korea's striker was also a goalkeeper - they forgot to register three keepers (as per FIFA regulations) and so had to amend his status for the competition. Poor bloke - decent striker in their domestic league but forced thorough the incompetence of others, on the biggest stage he'll ever be on, to be their third choice goalkeeper. You've got to feel for the lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjiDavidson Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I seem to remember Fabian Barthez playing a game upfront for Manchester United in a pre season tour of Australia if i am not mistaken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauser Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 You guys know Mexican keeper Jorge Campos? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadijk van Kaarhandel Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Tsk, ridiculous, he wouldn't even play for Legia on the wing, never mind Poland. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnShaft Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I had this happen against me with Tim Wiese late in a game when they were down and in the process of being knocked out. I think they put him on the left at the top of a 4-2-4 (and he swapped jerseys with someone who went in goal). I assumed it was like a deliberate late push to put the big guy up front to get a goal.

chuz Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 'Goalkeeper' is just another position on the field. It's not so fundamentally different that no outfield player on earth could possibly double as a stand-in between the sticks, and vice versa. PS. You will want to check Wayne Rooney's Positions for a pleasant surprise! He used to play GK for Everton youths iirc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
underwater sunlight Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 even if the players positions are represented that he could play in that role it is highly unlikely. if you haven't done so already can i suggest posting this in the bugs thread, with a save game if possible for SI to look at the code Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LENNYG1 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 klass jan huntelaar and luis suarez are other examples of players who have played in goal as youths Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwolves Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 fernado torres also played as a goal keeper in his youth and look to him now!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baaf Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 wow.....some people will defend the game to death it seems :| the keeper the OP mentioned CAN NOT play any other position aside from GK.... NON.... so this is a bug and should be reported. and even if we assume that the keeper can play as an AML too, what manger in his right mind would prefer to start with him instead of a real winger? thats like starting huntelaar/rooney in goal in the champions league...... how ridiculous would that be?
