    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.
