Do we need two goalkeepers?

i have only one GK .. with no problem
he got injured at 20 min, played a CB as GK, and had a clean sheet
that is how much engine $ucks
as long as he defensive ability is good, he will be great GK even if he is a defender

In real football, there are plenty of examples of an outfield player going in goal because a team has no sub and keeping a clean sheet. Even saving penalties

This is not an example of the game engine sucking

Indeed, I have watched a GK get red carded and the replacement come in and save the penalty. I have seen 'Pool do this recently i think. But I have also seen an outfield player donning the gloves and making the penalty save, so it does happen in RL.

But you have to admit, it is a rarity. For the game engine to simulate this properly, there should be more goals when an outfield player is playing GK. It is NOT an easy position to play and takes a different mentality, and positioning is one of the most important qualities.
As a GK in ice-hockey, I am fully aware of this.
