Wtf goalkeeper injured??

My goalkeeper also got injured for the first time in a game in 13 seasons. Very strange. Good thing I was winning and my second choice keeper was fully fit.

In yesterday match my GOAL KEEPER died...;)...

So far so good, but suddenly the same player appeared as a striker who shot at my goal?!??

I think this is really strange and maybe a bug - if a field-player has to be used as GK he should not be able to be used as fieldplayer anymore... (I won this match, so I am not complaining, just wondering....)

Does anybody know the technical/logical background of this "bug"?

Just because someone is playing in goal (whether a true goalie or replacement), doesn't mean he can't go upfield sometimes. Have you never seen a goalkeeper go up for corners or such in real life?

Mladen Petric, Croatian striker saves the day.

Or maybe you mistook it for this one in the Bundesliga, midfielder Rosenthal saves a penalty taken by Edin Dzheko!

Epic!

The goalkeeper is depend on the level of 'Handling' skills right?
If your defender have a higher 'Handling' skills that your goalkeeper, might as well use your defender as a goalkeeper...
