Now in all the seasons I've played this the goalie is the one player who probably scores lowest ratings over all consistently, even when winning games and not conceding it's usually 6-7-7-6-7 kinda thing with the occasional 8 thrown in.
Team at the bottom of my league has conceded 102 goals so far and their keeper has received 9-9-9-8-9 in the last 5 games having lost 24 goals in that time. He's averaging out at 8.05 over the 19 games so far.
No special abilities, 31 years old, what a player!!!!!
