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.
As long as we do not get any information or confirmation about form or quality it is impossible to say which goalkeeper to keep. Or if the results are fixed which I sometimes get the feeling then it is even more impossible to foretell which goalie will do well.
For instance if it is fixed that you will win the first 4 games and loose the next 4 games and you use the GK in the first 5 matches then he will score great numbers but in the fifth game a 5 or something. So you switch him out and what do you know the next GK will score 3 5's in a row and you will think he is very bad. Actually he isn't bad but he had just the bad luck to be active in your bad games. I really really want more info or I can't take the game seriously anymore. There is no control, no comprehension of the game, no way to plan strategy because of the little info we get.
For me it was a sign given by the game to change my starting GK.
I can't explain it otherwise how could a GK who is solid for 4 seasons in a row is suddenly not motivated and performs poorly.
It's not 5 games, it's nearly 20 now that my other GK is almost constantly in good form. I'm using the same formation, same instructions, same players, same everything. That's why a season nearly going south early on, eventually turned to a pretty good one. I'm 8 points ahead in the most requiring league I've ever had and I'm almost through to the semi-final of the CL after a 3-5 away victory.
That's my take whatsoever.
Desert Rats FC played an away League match against 7th place, and had both of yesterday's signings making their full debuts. Central midfielder Makhtar Hassan made an immediate impact, netting the first goal in the 9th minute, and striker Jhon Micolta left it to late on in an impressive debut to make his contribution, the last goal with eight minutes to play. In between it was the usual suspects, right-winger Patrick Tillmanns, Filip Andersson - a frequent scorer last season but finally getting on the end of one for the first time this season - and Garry Crawford helping the scoreboard tick along. Final score 5-0 to Desert Rats, and with the second-place team drawing away at 5th place, they stretch their lead at the top to 4 points.
Regarding Goalkeeper form, I think it has to do with the number of goals they concede and how many saves they have versus the number of opposition shots on target, and the rating in one match is no indication of how they are going to perform in the following match.
I'd already started the following comparison, as it is the first time I've had similar quality 'keepers - usually I have a high-Q one for general use and a lower-Q one for occasional appearances and injury cover.
Here are the two 'keepers concerned - Carroll was ahead in Quality 93%-91% at the start of the season.

From a little bit of experimentation last season, McKibben (bought off the regular Transfer Market) is better in League matches and Carroll (bought from the Scout list) in CL and Cup matches, but I will swap them occasionally (sometimes unintentionally).
This season's performances - the higher number of saves vs opposition shots, the better the rating. If they concede then the rating goes down (usually by about a point a goal conceded).

And we are in the Cup finals..... https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...29f24aa974.jpg interesting isn't it?
Hopefully we win all.
Special thanks to Nik, Pavlos, Gabez, Leon etc...
Two man show, but assists are more important than goals when choosing MoM :)
