AAAAAAAAS4T Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I'm currently managing Spurs and made 3 changes at half time.. Mistakenly put my sub goalkeeper, 'Courtois' in CB instead of Gary Cahill. Didn't realise until the 89th minute when the goalkeeper Courtois scored! Haaaa, anyone ever done this before?

SWaRFeGa Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I have a similar-but-completely-different story Players being where they should not be. My Peterborough are losing to Reading 2-1. With 10 mins to go, AI Reading manager decides the best way to hold on to this result (having made all his subs) is to put the GK (number 1) on the left-wing, and the right-back (number 2) in goal. Did not work. 3-2 to Peterborough. No surprise there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyandoro Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Even if you put a granny as CB she will eventually score from a corner. It's just the game engine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesox Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 One time in a meaningless cup qualifying match at Roma I accidentally started a below average midfielder at keeper (same last name). The pundit said I was crazy for doing it; my mistake was unbeknownst to me. It was only in the 59th minute when I went to make subs that I realized it. I got chastised in the media and the player came to me upset about his position. He requested transfer the next day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuvenelCuore Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Well this was on FIFA '11 Manager Mode. I foolishly did not bring my backup goalkeeper with me into a Champion's League semi-final clash v. Arsenal. Buffon gets sent off. I need a backup. I send in Felipe Melo to take the penalty. If Van Persie scores, Juventus are eliminated. RvP puts it top corner, MASSIVE SAVE BY FELIPE MELO ! I won against Barca in the finals too ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giggles Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 On a Bristol City save, I once put Lewin Nyatanga at RW by mistake- He scored a nice header from a cross, and I was wondering.. "why is he so far up the pitch"... then at half-time I realised my mistake.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCFCFan Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I put a 6'6 regen keeper as my Target man in a match because all of my strikers were injured. He was my backup keeper. He scored a hat-trick, all headed goals. Still complained that he was played out of position. Must also mention this was in BSP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnjo Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 lol keep 'em coming My friend once put his gk's as strikers in premier manager back in the early 2000's. Reckoned the best way to learn how to save a goal was to score a goal. Didn't realy work out for him unfortunatly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Football Manager. Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 You never say it was an accident always claim you meant to do it and take the plaudits! that's a pretty funny story. i've only ever done similair things then realised 20 minutes later. i was playing as man city was 4-0 up at half time in a league game in some stupid year like 2025 and the oposition had 0 shots on goal. by the 65th minute it was 4-3 and they had had 10 shots on goal i realised i had my back up keeper in center back and my first choice keeper at right back with my right back in goal. when i was moving players at that time my computer had some serious lag and i just didn't notice it changed what i did!
