Also, what is the best way to improve a GK? Apply skill points to defense and physical/mental or balance them out? I don't see the point of applying skill points to a GK offensive skills.
If you want to hold on with the skill points then hold your players just 1 skill point to next star so that you can good deals through negotiations...

Increase defense for defensive players, attack for attacking players and for MC, ML, MR increase attack a little bit more then the other 2 attributes...
For DMC, DML, DMR balance the stats evenly...
For DL and DR also balance out the stats...but you can increase the defense a little bit...

For the goal keeper increase there defense a lot, then physical and mental and let the attack section rot...
In the ask the developers the developers have accepted that for goal keepers defense is most important then physical and mental...
