Djimmi Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 The elite goal keepers of FM 2009 cost quite a lot so I was wondering if there's any noticeable difference in the number of goals conceeded between having an elite GK (eg. Peter Cech), a very good GK (eg. Joe Hart) or a really bad one? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu legend Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Could be an interesting experiment if someone would carry it out. Play with an average goalie for a season and then play with a WC golaie such as Casillas with the same team and see the difference. IMO having a superior goalie does have a massive impact in FM as I have experienced when the opposition GK has a 'wonder' game saving everything.

TriloG Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Shay Given has saved my skin countless times. I'd say it's definitely a major factor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TriloG Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Joe Hart is probably the best British youngster. I've just bought a young Spaniard for about £7M, I think his name is something like Solerjo but I'm not sure on that spelling, he plays for Spain under 20's and he's doing well for me but he's only had a few games.

haza555 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Definatly very important, in most cases he is the difference between winning and losing a match. If you have 10 shots on goal and your opponant has 10 shots on goal, chances are the team with the better goalkeeper will concede fewer and therefore win the match.

H Y P Z Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I found it's not that important, so far I've managed two teams with old, but experienced GKs that do a very good job: Robinson and Green. Both are far from world class, but managed to make amazing saves many times for me, especially Green who only plays with just two DCs supporting him. Before shelling out tens of millions on a young 'world-class" GK, consider an experienced 29-30 year old, who is much better value for the money. My strikers have no problem scoring against the likes of Peter Cech, Joe Hart, Mandananda etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyUwe Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I am experiencing the same problem. Im Man utd and in my 2nd season, VDS is clearly passed it, i signed asenjo and although hes going to be world class seems to be struggling the same for Foster although he is better. Im thinking of james for 450k. Any recc? ? ? ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freagle Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I managed to conduct this experiment with Man Utd. First season i was second conceded 20 goals with Van Der Sar in goal. Second Season played Ben Foster as i sold Kushczak and i was 7th, conceding 43 goals..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
santy001 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I've been looking carefully, and at times it seems a veteran keeper, between 30 - 35 is far better than almost any keeper who is in his 20's, especially before 26/27 as they just seem to make some daft mistakes which these older keepers don't make.

nicnik Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 gomez best keeper you can buy early in the game not over 20m XD his stats are far better than real life! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriloG Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Sergio Solenjo - I've just signed him at the beginning of the second season for £7.25M, and he's forcing Shay Given out of the first team already, what's more, the lads only 20! Will definitely be a leading Prem keeper, he's simply awesome. I'll post his attributes once I remember how to do it :S Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
