robertcornell68 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Anyone else always use a sweeper keeper, even in lower leagues? Sure, there's a few hair-raising moments but every now and then they whack the ball over the midfield straight to a striker. I think they're great.

Guest PW Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Never used that option myself, mainly because I normally play with a DM or Anchor and a deep defensive line so no real need for a sweeper keeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big M Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Sweeper Keeper every time here - I just find they play more the way I want them to, coming out to pick up loose balls more often rather than letting the opponent striker break away unopposed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsoluteGenius Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I use a sweeper keeper because I play a high defensive line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neopherus Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I use a sweeperkeeper *when* I play with a high defensive line Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenco Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I use one, and find my team perform better with it. But then I have Reina and he is perfect for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacticalGenius Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 What are the qualities to look for in a sweeper/keeper? Pace? Eccentricity? Positioning? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lambs Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 90% of the time I play sweeper keeper because I am playing attacking football with a high defensive line. If I lower the line because I am playing a team that is very fast I switch to a shot stopper. I look for Acceleration, Pace, Positioning, communication, one on ones and rushing out. I may be wrong, but eccentricity is never a good thing is it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neopherus Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I have a newgen keeper with very high Eccentricity, and he often performs even better than Adler. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacticalGenius Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I was told Eccentricity for sweeper keeper, but I thought it was bad too... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lambs Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I was told Eccentricity for sweeper keeper, but I thought it was bad too... Hmmmm, I will have to do some research, I have always assumed eccentricity was a bad thing, but you might have a point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AB-forever Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I often play rather attacking so I often use a sweeper keeper. It works great Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybobertson Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Sweeper Keeper every game. But I ALSO have Reina and there is no better sweeper keeper in the world than Pepe Reina. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same, i use Reina as a sweeper keeper and he's brilliant. I've been looking for a young keeper that i can replace him with in 3 or 4 seasons though and its been hard to find one who could make a good sweeper keeper.

His decision making is a bit low at the start of the game, other than that you probably won't find a better sweeper keeper. You'll need good ball playing full or centre backs to make the best use of his excellent throwing ability though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Neuer is good but i meant a player thats like 16-18, as in a regen because Reina is 32 now and i'll need a good replacement in 4-5 years time. I actually found an 18yo regen at Genoa who has 18 acceleration and 14 rushing out so i'll probably sign him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
