Yep, you got it. It's where the player is in your formation, not on his role.
What about this? Is this a hidden rule (a team must score at least 2 goals) or a bug?
It's not my team, I'm just curious.
PS: I've updated the game with the latest update this afternoon. Could you tell us what changed in comparison with the update 5 days ago?
