Goalkeeper stories

NIK, today again




I also wanted to leave him in the game but I switched version (from new to old version cause i couldn't see the stats) and the game made an auto sub and put a DC (I don't have a 2nd good GK)

Same thing this season, oppo GKs making 5-6 saves every second game.
Mine, no
Anyway, lets go in another old subject of the game. GK injuries
Today I had two
With RINOKEROS, I left my injured GK in the game (watching it from the old version).
He made one save too

About previous posts for oppo Super Goalkeepers, I read other posts that I 'm not the only one.
Good, cause I was thinking that maybe my attackers are useless and making every oppo Goalkeeper playing like Neuer

Low SoT conversion could still come down to tactics and skill balance.

Few seasons ago I tried a young MC who took many worthless shots in the few matches before he was sold. If you believe Khris's idea that some players have internal programming to shoot, or hold the ball, or tackle too hard more often than others, then it could be that those players are taking many bad shots, either off target, or easily stopped. Like if you panic and play hard attack, up arrows for everyone, you might get more shots, not more goals.

It can be mentality, or arrows to the wrong player, or wrong pressing, or....

Good real world defence will try to force or corral the play into a certain area of the field, like allowing many crosses into a crowded box while preventing a fast counter through the middle.

I sometimes check the Mourinho team, and you can notice many players have shooting or finishing near 100. Maybe it means nothing, or maybe it means that any player you expect to shoot the ball, regardless of position, needs the right skill balance. And that might not mean only shooting 200...

I also remind everyone, to win needs only 1 goal. Sometimes fouls, or low possession, pass accuracy... All can look bad, but only the one with a Win smiles.

I won't disagree but you miss the point.
The reason for those latest posts of mine is
- If a GK get injured during the game, the penalty shouldn't be more serious for the team ?
Also if a player oop replace him ?
Maybe GK injuries should removed from game-play ?
It gives unrealistic results.

I also believe in the "talent", a hidden factor of the players, but Khris wrote that a couple of years ago.
At that time, the goalies had 1,2,3 saves in the games and having 5-6-7 or more saves, it was very very rare.
Now you can see that almost every day by day.
Something changed.
Is GK the Judge of the games ?
is he the new troll ?

I save stats of every, so you see the performance drop of my keeper. The drop started at the middle of the 10. season, there were some games, he conceeded 3 goals in only one game.

My keeper NEVER got an injury. And he got one game a break every week, everytime vs one of the last places at league.


After season 9, there are 2 games less, because of cup-change, but he conceeded way more goals.

If you check the opponents, the hardest triple was season 8, the keeper and Costa were the reason, why we won it. Even season 9 looks like the easiest... it was season 10. At season 9, we had the fanatastic offenive Costa (88 G/40 A) and Weigl (98 G/ 33 A) and the amazing keeper.

Season 10 had to be a perfect season, but we got 4 trolls and the keeper drop.

Season 11 we also got trolled, especially at final, because of the unbeatable unwatched keeper...


If you count in FA:
S8: 39
S9: 27
S10: 45
S11: 64
current season S12: played 9 games (incl. 1 FA), 9 goals conceeded. Only two clean sheets.

But pls remeber two things:

1.) we got very often strange opponents like this:


2.) at Season 10, week 3 and 4 were curious draws, we won 36:0 or 34:1.

In two games today
Ιn the asso game with ManU, I got a draw vs a "monster" team.
My GK was the man of the match





With NIK in CH.L., I lost a game, oppo GK was again the MoM



In that game I didn't watch (so it's not the case where it happening only when you watch your game).

That thing became so common, not only comparing with the old version (T11 2014) but I think with T11 2016 too.
Weird

I don't think GK scoring penalties are a thing to be excited now.

In the past, during a 35T league edition, one of the member's GK scored free-kicks and goals, and even made his way into the league's topscorer chart.

[nikolgiorgos]

yes, that's true.
Gert also had a GK with great success in F-K and penalties.
But what is new (as you 're old player and member of the forum), too many saves from GKs is a new thing.
Today with my team RINOKEROS, oppo had players out of position and his DC (aerial) made 4 saves - lol


* I 'm in a very strong league and this team after some bad results, seeing that cannot win the league (yes, we had a stronger team than those ), decided to stay level.
