Haven't you noticed that you can switch other players around and not get a possession penalty? thats because they can have the stats to play those positions as well.
Do you promise this is the last time because your boring me.

Let me leave you by saying this....whether it's a game or real life playing your GK in defence is not football!!!

If you go back to my original point the annoying thing about these troll results is a team only wins 3 games all season, all against the top 3 in the league with his GK playing as ST and his LB as GK. I don't care if its a game or real life, that is NOT football!!!!

Lastly I've seen quite a few GK take free kicks and penalties over the years.
