Are there any real benefits to having a either footed goalkeeper?

Because to me it just feels as if their CA is being wasted...

I have a newgen goalkeeper in my side who is either footed along with Adler so I was just wondering how this is beneficial at all...

He can pass with both feet.

FM wise though it usually makes them worse as it takes CA points away that could be used on more important attributes.

Exactly.

That's why I hate having my goalkeeper being either footed..

Would just prefer it if he could only use one foot or just be decent with his weak foot. I'd rather my goalie had those points used in his aerial area in which he is weak

I really thought that would explain its self.

How often do you see a keeper recieve a back pass to the wrong foot, then have to fart about with it to get it onto his correct foot, by that time he's closed down and panics and makes a mess of the clearance or even concedes a goal.

A keeper that can kick with both feet wouldnt have that problem would they.

I'd still prefer to have it spent on other areas though...

Either footedness uses alot of CA

I know how you feel.

My answer to your question is, like said before, he can pass with buth feet. But that will all be for nothing if he has a horrible first touch.
