thefmveteran86 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) We all know about Arteta on rotating keepers but on FM would ever dare consider doing it? EDIT: I think I got the quote he said rotating keepers during matches I thought it was rotating keepers before a game Edited September 21, 2023 by thefmveteran86 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fc.cadoni Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Yes. The Back-Up or Young take Cups matches and less important league matches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Yes- I always try to give the backup GK at least 10-15 games a year, particularly in home games against weaker teams that we are expected to beat 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunner86 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I’ve done it in the past with Leno / Ramsdale and Leno / Cech at Arsenal. And at Atletico in a save when they had 2 good keepers. I also always have a keeper on the bench, and wouldn’t be against subbing him if he decides to go full Onana. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty217 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Yes, I regularly do. If I have a young up and coming goalie, or even just 2 similarly good goalies I can and do rotate, both between matches and through sub appearances. It's happened a few times that I've ended up with a 2nd good goalie, whether due to my main getting injured and having to buy a replacement, or getting a good youth prospect but not being able to sell my current one (or not wanting to sell them if they're a club legend!), so I just use both.

ElJuanvito Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I ended up with two pretty good goalies in both my saves, so I rotate them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kickballz Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 If I had a promising youngster coming through I would, but I have no decent options. 1st choice keeper plays every match for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone Cold Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Yes. For domestic cup matches. It will improve the substitute keeper and also keep him satisfied. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
busngabb Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Yeah, do it all the time. Very rare a keeper gets a rating above 6.2 for me at the moment, so I'm constantly swapping them around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grifty Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Never. I risk only having 1 GK in my first team. If he gets injured I'm at the mercy of if I have a hard decent 18-20 year old knocking around in one of my youth teams. In the last 4-5 seasons I've starting doing this in my current save, my GK as only missed a few Club World Championship games and 1 4 week injury which luckily coincided with an International break and some 'easier' league games.

Weed07 Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Never, I only have 1 first team keeper in my squads and then a couple of youth keepers just in case. Its very rare I've had keepers get long term injuries, or really any injury to keep him out of a game, I don't think I've ever had one sent off in a game so they're never banned. My first team keeper can usually easily play 50+ games a season, never get tired, never needs a rest and doesn't get injured. It does seem very unlikely so maybe there's a bug somewhere but its been like this for years, its a waste of money buying a good back up and risky to squad morale having a unhappy back up that wants more game time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian2112 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I like to have a good rotation option, so I rotate them when possible, in cup games or easier games I usually start my backup, unless the main goalkeeper is on a good form and I don't want to break it. Usually my backup keeper gets 10-12 games per season. On a side note has anyone seen a goalkeeper getting injured during a game? I think I've never seen one in my 25 years of playing the game since CM 97/98. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
