nikandros33 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Why? If all the other defenders are injured, Peter is a tall lad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootyKing Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Can't see a problem here m8...He just wants Crouch to use his advantage of height against Drogba...:D:D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakeable Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 They probably have an injury crisis. Crouch isn't totally crap at center back tho. He has some ability in the position (unconvincing), he has good positioning, concentration, jumping, marking, heading, anticipation and decisions. His tackling isn't the best tho but during an injury crisis.. Im in 2012 in my save as well so just looked him up. He should at least have similar attributes in your save.

Administrators Lucas Posted March 23, 2009 Administrators Share Posted March 23, 2009 Crouch will probably move to that position I imagine in his later career? He does have the physique and apparently the attributes for it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamf Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 A couple of players have moved to the back over the years like Dion Dublin, I even remember Colin Hendry being used up front in an emergency. Slightly off topic but the best regen I ever had was a natural central defender and striker, I always used him at the back but he was averaging a goal a game for Switzerland Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlon Brandy Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 was a CB in his later years in my game aswell.. and not a very good one at that, my strikers regulaly done him for pace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstein1967 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 i sold crouch to AC in season 2 and went to check out how he was doing after a few months and they had used him as CB 2 or 3 times too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GillsMan Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Also, Chris Sutton, the ginger pele (Gary Docherty), and countless others over the years. It's not wholly uncommon in fairness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey P Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Haha - legendary famous quote there! Stockport currently use Matty McNeil (ST) as a CB when we're in an injury crisis, like now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureForce Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 lets not forget rio ferdinand who started life off as a striker but switched to CB later in his career when struck with an injury crisis ive noticed that the AI would rather go for high ability player with a low rating for that position rather than someone with the better attribute qualities for that position with not quite as high ability (ie i regularly see miguel veloso get played at left back when the other natural left backs are injured rather than a decent centreback who's strong foot is left and has quick the better attributs for the position and a better rating for it too) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontCallItSoccer Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Last week, Galatasaray played Harry Kewell in CB position against Hamburg in the UEFA Cup - they lost. Injury crisis, plus selling their best CB, Fernando Meira, to Moscow meant they had no fit Centre Backs so poor Harry "What do you mean, track back?" Kewell had to fill in.

ism-scfc Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Stockport currently use Matty McNeil (ST) as a CB when we're in an injury crisis, like now. Seriously, this guy is the WORST defender you are ever likely to see. Search Virgin media highlights of Northampton v Stockport last saturday and look for the 4th goal to find out why. Grrr:mad: We actually had a perfectly able CB who played at Right back in that game too:thdn: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
