And Buffs: I still don't get keeper rating 5-6-6-6-7-6-6-6-8-7-7-7-7-6-6-6-6-6 if he never conceives a goal. A clean sheet should IMO bee near 7 every time +/- due to events
Well, ratings range from 3-6 afaik - 6-7 to me is turned up and did nothing wrong/nor much right or a balanced performance. Lets not assume that clean sheets are down to GKs - particularly if your DCs or DMCs are getting high raings.

My GK this season has 8x6, 3x8 and the rest 7s and in the league and Cup the team has conceded in almost every game. (I could show you GKs with 7, & 9s ) The fact is the only feedback you get on a GK is he made X number of saves - goals conceded might be relevant but only if its the GK's fault/he should have saved. Commentary gives, occasionally, feedback on smothers or interceptions, catches but they're not in the stats.

Saves are good? Well easy catches flapped out for CKs are bad imo.

My buzzwords for GKs are Opportunity and Expectation. The number of chances he has to do something and the expectation of success - we just don't have the information. The answer is in what we're not told, thats why I suggested the following, more in hope than expectation.
