Even with a win, a GK will rarely get above an 8 rating. On those rare occasions where a troll may occur, the GK will save everything and get a 9 or a 10 rating.
A 4* GK can (and usually does) perform as well as a 7*. So I never bother power training a GK. I might buy a scout every 3-4 seasons (with one on one stopper SA) but that’s it. In fact only my attacking players ever get fed Greens. GK and defenders are always Scouts.
I agree with this, on 2 occasions this season my GK got injured in 1st ten minute (never had a injury to my keeper before) so I had to bring on a 2* keeper, he didn't concede a goal in either game and got a 8 in one of them. I just think it's hit and miss with keepers, if he's on a 5 it's very unlikely he will finish the game with more than a 5, I instantly sub mine now if he is on a 5
