22/08/2024A question came to me now that goalkeepers have the choice between 2 different styles: do goalkeepers now give an overtraining bonus like any outfield player (I'm obviously thinking of a pass bonus in the Short Pass style, but it could be in positioning for the Play Offside style). Because for the moment, only the outfield player bonuses are visible.

22/08/2024No, they don't.
Both of my GKs are instructed to play as a ball playing GK (higher overall and less influence in defense while also adding a bit to midfield), so this is coming from experience.
It's just that the GK (as a position) is not affected by playing style. Some time ago I've tried changing GK to sweeper and I think that only 10 players were affected by bonus (including now sweeper, but one forward wasn't), I haven't actually played a match with that setup, just played around with formations and tactics before the match.
