I think the AI is programmed to sometimes put random players in random locations on field during some plays... for instance, I have a DC who has the blue arrow, he is supposed to be on defense at all times, yet every once in a while the game tells me he scored a goal, with an assist from a striker. Why is he way down field? I can understand if it's at the end of the game on a corner kick, 10 seconds to go and I need a goal to win or tie, with a need to put your best players in box in hopes for a header... but 15 minutes into the game, a DC is all the way down field? Maybe there's a bug in the game where on some plays, the DC and a MC are reversed.
