Chat GK/ST Wonderkid????

[nathyb]

Hi guys,

On my 3rd season with Wrexham and my scout found this dude... Has anyone had any experience with this before? 

In the attached screenshot I can only see the stats for GK, I can't see the other ones, only if I use IGE. 

He's an advanced forward which is what I use in my tactic so it would be more beneficial for me to use him there, just would like to see the progress.

 

Let me know what you think!

No - I’ve never seen anything like this before.

He’s both a GK + ST, he’s both footed, he’s got 5* potential, and you have the editor on … so normally I’d have some doubts … but he’s a GK with only aerial 8 (!)

Good luck with him 👍

I haven't just added him I swear 😂 just so weird. Is it not normal to use IGE? I literally only use it to see the stats or is that considered cheaty?

In your save, you should be able to go into ‘settings’, unlockables, then turn OFF the editor.

This would be great proof - as it only works if you haven’t edited a player. So if you use it to look at player’s potential, but don’t actually change anything, then you can turn the editor on/off. 

If you change (edit!) anything, then you can’t turn the editor off and the yellow box remains.

I didn't realise you could do this!

 

I've added the screenshots as proof! I also noticed that there's a "~" on the save where I used the IGE to edit a player!

[DanEnglish]

Wow! I’m glad you did that.

The natural GK + ST combination is legit! Crazy stuff.

Yeah it’s something they added so we can easily see where a save has something edited 👍

Isn’t there a striker in the football league who started as a goalkeeper at youth level but played his whole career as a striker? Sure he played for Ireland/Northern Ireland as well

It makes a lot of sense. Would love to know who it was 👍 

Random story - I was an (amateur) keeper + loved handling over the gloves for the last 10-20 mins to be an extra TM upfront 😄 amateur keepers can also be (but not always) surprisingly good at taking penalties

I know right? The issue is I can't retrain into a striker, and I also can't see his technical stats because his default is GK 😂 very weird stuff, but he can also use both feet so would be perfect up front. Only issues are his traits.

Maybe mentor him. You should be able to find a cheap elderly backup GK who can both improve some attributes (aerial!) AND his personality.

Best do it quick, before his attributes get too high to find a better mentor.

If he’d used the editor to change anything the icon bottom right would have turned yellow

Huh. You are right. I hadn’t realized that!

Gianluigi Buffon played as forward in his youth.
