Platinum Stars goalkeeper scores twice in Confederation Cup

Goalkeeper Mbongeni Mzimela converted two penalties as Platinum Stars beat Vipers 3-1 in the African Confederation Cup

Goalkeeper Mbongeni Mzimela was the unexpected two-goal hero as Platinum Stars of South Africa booked an African Confederation Cup play-off place.

The 31-year-old converted two penalties in a 3-1 victory over Vipers of Uganda that overturned a 1-0 away defeat in the last-32 tie.

Mzimela, who also scored from a spot kick in a midweek South African FA Cup victory, put Stars in front after only two minutes.

Ndumiso Mabena doubled the lead from a free-kick before half-time in Rustenburg.

Milton Karisa scored for Confederation Cup debutants Vipers on 55 minutes to nudge his club in front on the away goal rule.

Mzimela had the final say, however, converting another penalty a minute into stoppage time to rescue the South African club.

I'm doing this as a part of my youth academy challenge. My goalkeeper Dave Owen is at 97 goals in 629 apps, at 29 years old. He has only cracked double digit scoring numbers in one season, which is a bit low compared to some of the greats of this thread.

97 goals is fantastic. Better than fantastic. :applause:

Anyone tried this in 17? My first game using my goalkeeper for free kicks I had a shot bounced off the wall and the opposition subsequently hit a 55 yard strike on my open goal.

That is indeed a risk, but it's something that you can at least try to avoid if not avoid completely. Have multiple layers of players to try and recycle the ball at every opportunity is what I go for. It's not 100% but it certainly keeps defensive issues down to reasonable levels.

Been away for a while. 


Canini is currently on 159 career goals and is at the age of 34. I don't think he will carry on for too much longer but if he can hang in there for 4-5 mor years, he may still reach 200.

Is there a final update for Canini?

My Icelandic save is still seeing my GK's score fairly regularly. 

2480ee2ae1a5f4f88a13127fc9d2fca1.png

50 goals in 320 appearances is a goal every 6.4 games for (24b) Ben Óli (Amb) *. Were it not for the fact that there are so few League games in an Icelandic season, (22 games to be precise), the number of goals scored at this stage of his career, (he's 27), would probably be double what it is now. 

(32c) Joe (USA) (F.Pro) * has better PA but looks like he will out-grow us and move on to pastures new,

What determines the result of a penalty?

I have 2 senior GK's at the moment and both of them are obviously set to take penalties. 

GK #1 has scored 6 penalties from 6 attempts. 

3385aac790e0935f70e535027d5a5ac6.png

GK #2 has scored 2 penalties from 7 attempts

9cd8c32a9ee38164640252e0e90cece1.png

Now I have commented previously about my thinking that the free-kick attribute is mistaken for the handling attribute when the game is calculating the result, (it's in the same position on the player profile screen, and if I were to use that for penalties then it's rushing out that should be used instead, (and I am much less confidant about that as a statement, which in itself weakens my position on the free-kick situation). 

Over and above the above theories however, I think that there are significant "modifiers" to the calculations and the biggest of this is morale. It's absolutely enormous.

Looking at the above pictures, it's easy to see that (32c) Joe (USA) (F.Pro) * is unhappy because I have blocked multiple transfers. He has 3 years left on his contract, (with an option for 3 more on top of that), so to be honest I have little reason to sell him. He's kept 10 clean sheets in 16 games so his performances have been ok if unspectacular, and I personally think that his saved penalties, (because they are saved rather than missed), is the only issue I have with him. My thinking is that if I keep playing him, then he might get a goal, (or even a clean sheet might be enough), and his morale will improve, but every time he either misses a penalty or concedes a goal, then it's actually another nail in his morale coffin rather than the boost that I am looking for. The reason that I am blaming his morale for missing 5 of 7 penalties is because previously he has performed well in this area when morale wasn't an issue. 

(32c) Joe (USA) (F.Pro) * has scored 11 goals in 69 appearances at a rate of a goal every 6.27 games. 

(24b) Ben Óli (Amb) * has scored 59 goals in 367 appearances at a rate of a goal every 6.22 games. 

The comparison is reasonable over the course of their careers and if (32c) Joe (USA) (F.Pro) * had scores all of his penalties this season, (as Ben has), then his ratio would be a goal every 4.3125 games. When you consider that he often plays in the "dirt-trackers", the weakened side where we are resting the starting XI for a big League game or a European game, then his performance is perhaps even more surprising.

I am probably going to look at selling him if I can't get his morale up, and if I don't sell him then I might have to look at an outfield player taking pens while he is on the pitch, (which I REALLY don't want to do).

Thoughts?

He has added 6 more goals to his tally, to put him at 44 National team goals and 121 League goals. A total of 165 thus far.

 

To be fair, I haven't played all that much more, so I might give the save a go again until he retires.

Canini currently sits on 47 international goals in 241 appearances. 3 away from cracking the 50 for his country. 

 5965c170a6ca9_canini35.thumb.JPG.6f636b3086bdd27a0ba4bcf799d6dd1e.JPG

 

He also has 126 club goals in 709 appearances.

5965c16ebaca2_canini352.thumb.JPG.df2c934805350d1fd78a9d03e034351f.JPG

 

This totals him at 173 career goals, however he is now at the tender age of 35. It seems like it might be a tough ask to have him reach 200 should he only have 3-4 years left at this level.

I am starting this challenge with my 17-year old GK (10 in Free kicks, 1 on Penalty Taking). I am currently improving his freekick by training. Maybe I should focus on penalty ?

So far, it is 1 penalty on 2 attempts and 0 FC on 20 attempts in 10 matchs !

I can't tell you what it is that determines the outcome of a penalty. What I can tell you is that it's not his penalty taking attribute. 

Good luck and welcome to the madness.

Had 3 goals in my latest season from Asmir Begovic - all from the penalty spot.

I'm not even doing it to be 'cool' - he has the attributes to be one of my better penalty takers!

I didn't think anyone did this to be cool. Strange and weird, perhaps, but not cool. :lol:

Seriously 241 international appearances???

Have you played the game since, leon? How far have you managed to push him? Does it reset at 255 or is it not stored in one byte? :)

I have a sneaking suspicion that the old numbers are going to be MUCH harder to get this season. 

Any GK scoring at any time will be a FAR bigger deal in FM18 than it has been for a long while. 

Come on lads, tell us if your GK scores in FM18. :thup:

A good start from my young fellow:

5 goals so far from him. Will try to update every once in a while.

Any chance of a video if it was that good? 

Maybe @Makoto Nakamurawill give a shout out to his Brazilian in here? 

I tried, but FM keeps crashing when I try to upload it. Sometimes it works, but then everyone has all white kits. I'll have a go at it, to see if I can get it uploaded.

Here is it, but all kits are white. I have reported it, but no fix so far...

Shout out to Roberlan (YP5a)!

19 years old with 31 goals to his name so far, he has made 226 appearances so far so he's averaging a goal every 7.2 games, which could be better.

Another season and another 10 goals, Roberlan is facing no competition for 1st choice and we get relegated from Serie A to Serie B. This season Roberlan scored 7 of the 13 penalties he took and scored 3 free kicks.

And another one, Roberlan had his best year for goal scoring but with a new 5* PA GK coming through his days as #1 could be numbered.

How are you getting on Leon?

I haven't been on for a loooong time and to be honest I haven't played this (I know I keep saying that I will).

But for some reason I felt inclined to log in and noticed a few comments. I will be working from home tomorrow, so I will try and get a couple of games out.

I had been struggling with the team so motivation was tough to play the game, but since the last update, He has 4 more international appearances and sits at 245 (no reset yet!) but still on 47 goals.

He now has 132 club goals in 743 appearances and is still 35.

He did cross the 100 league goal threshold and is currently on 103!

Roberlan spent a little bit of time injured so missed a few games but he did cross the 100 goal barrier by scoring a penalty in the State Championship Final, YouTube upload isn't working so I can't share it. :(

Finished another season and he had a pretty good run, scoring 14 goals from penalties an free kicks. He also added one more to his National tally to make it 48 in 253 (2 away from the reset :\).

He now has 195 and is 37 years of age. I am not sure how much longer he has left, but he should carry on for at least one more season and eclipse the 200 mark.

Euros are up next, so we will see how this goes

I have purposefully kept our keeper stocks low hoping another Sammarinese keeper comes through. I thought there was none as I hadn't played the save for a while, but found this guy in my under 19's. He has been around for 3 seasons but has yet to play a game for the first team. 

He did have 42(2) games in the U19 league with a rating of 7.02 so he looks like he would be a good replacement and reasonably young enough to pick up the mantle if Canini retires in the next year or two.

Soooo, I played the friendlies in lead up to the Euro's as it was enough to push Canini over the 255 mark, just to test it....

Looks like I will need to start the appearances again, but I will just keep a mental note to do 255+ whatever the final amount is.

So it re-sets at 255? Wow. I never knew that. What's the thinking behind that?

Roberlan scored 11/22 penalties this year so he could have finished up on 26 goals. :(

Welcome to the club. :applause:

There is a very small select group who have seen their GK score 100+ goals.

Didn't realise that he's also now beaten Rogerio Ceni's 116 goals! Hoping he could reach 200 but we have another goalkeeper with potential coming through.

839 appearances! But we have an 18 year old with 2.5* CA 5* PA coming through, Roberlan is 3* CA 3* PA.

It is because of the storage for the field being 1 byte. @yezzko predicted it about a month a go. 

I think this has been resolved in later releases though.

@Makoto Nakamura, You should keep going with Roberlan. He is only 27, so there is so much potential for him to score more goals and possibly even top the list. 

Canini is nowhere near our best keeper and has definitely cost me many a game, but I will keep him in until he retires. I wish Bianchi came in around this year because he has already missed 3 years of potential goals and looks to be a stud in comparison (4.5* potential). If Canini retires next year at 38, Bianchi will go straight in, but if he hangs on until 40 or so, then I will look to find out youngest keeper, regardless of talent and chuck him in to go for the 1000 career games and 200+ goalkeeper goals.

If this save was about having a goal-scoring keeper almost solely then I'd stick with him but this season Roberlan has already missed 17 games and I'm not going to stick with someone who's worse between the sticks until we're consistently at the top of Serie A and had the chance to seriously improve our facilities, once the standard of player coming through the youth system reaches its peak then I'll think about letting the worse player stay in goal. I'll always attempt this challenge but I'm not too committed on having one gk get as high as possible, if someone better comes through then I'll let him on penalties and free kicks until someone else comes along. :)

Fair enough! Good luck in your quest and hopefully the next guy makes it on to the list of goal scoring keepers too :)
