Season 89 Are you ready?

Funny, I switched to that after they scored their second and after initially doing the trick, it killed off any progress my forwards were making and then seemed to make the situation worse...

It's the two AMCs that are the issue - I have two players who can play DMC but that would then put the defensive line in a bit of a state.

Man marking maybe and a 4 2dmc 1mc 2w 1. Long passes to the flanks.

Haven't seen this kind of result for a while...

Second team had only one target. Cup

First game at home 2-3. Final seemed difficult to reach.

But my players had an astonishing game, they even surprised me, I have not seen these players outplaying an oppo of such high quality.

Even the 7 saves of the oppo gk were not enough

Wow Cloverfield, just wow.

Well done.

What is more important? Form or Skill ( quality ) ?

For example: 110% ( Form 6-6-7-5-6 ) vs 95% ( 8-7-7-6-9 ) , both Goalkeepers.

I was using my now second GK for 4 seasons including this one. He was always very solid with good ratings.

But after a string of unexplained bad performances (even my AM reported that he wasn't motivated enough for some reason) I promoted my second GK to starting XI.

I've got to say that I haven't even remotely regretted it. He's constantly putting 8 rated performances and living up to the task in general.

He had a little bit less quality at the start of the season but he's a fast trainer and already better in GK qualities than my other one.

I used 10%+ lower GK in cup game and he was rated a nice 8 While at the first leg my "main" GK was rated 5.7 or something....

That was about the difference in quality between my 2 GK's at that point.

For me the turning point was a defeat in the League following a poor performance by him in the second leg of Cup's Round of 32.

Their stats to further prove my point (incl. Association matches)
Radyukevich: 20 matches played - conceded 17 goals. Average rating of 6.99 this season, 0 times MotM.
Zboncak: 19 matches played - conceded 9 goals. Average rating of 7.4 this season, 1 time MotM.

I believe it's a combination of both quality and form, but form is the most indicative thing about who you should pick to start from my experience this season.
I also don't think that a 10% difference in quality makes a lot of difference anyway. I will always pick the better performer.

Well do you use against even matches both GKs?

Because if you use second Gk for easy games that you win and first to hard games that you lose, then form is not indicative and realistic.

First Gk in any way seems underperforming, not a single 8 and 5 is bad very bad.
