My Big Fat GK can score more than your Big Fat GK (Blast from the past challenge).


Recommended Posts

Don't have any screenshots as I'm at work. 

Aaron Ramsdale just scored his second goal of the season. A 90+2 minute penalty in a 4-0 win against Bournemouth.

While cup goal keeper Matt Turner had his first penalty attempt of his career saved. In our FA Cup 3rd round tie against Cambridge Utd. We were leading 1-0 at the time. And went on to win 2-0.

So while I am dipping my toes in the water of my goalkeepers taking penalties. I will admit to not having them take one where the result is hanging in the balance.

Give it time. You will soon be hooked when you see your GK's converting them and your outfield "specialists" missing them. 

Feel free to keep a record of "GK taken penalties" and compare them to "outfield player taken penalties". ;)

I did get very annoyed when I let Frank Kessie with his penalties of 19 miss one. Keeper went the wrong way. And he missed outside the right post. So yeah I'm more open for Ramsdale to take them

Do you mind if I ask if you can remember if Franck Kessie was unhappy about anything at the time, (or even showing negative body language in during the game)?

Don't think there was anything in his body language. But He wasn't happy about his play time. I'd been treating him with kid gloves as he's my best defensive midfield player by a country mile. But with the Qatar dog and pony show. Plus no idea when the African cup of nations is / was going to be held. I didn't want to burn him out.

For what it's worth, ignore penalty attributes and pick the happiest player before the game, but also think about personality. A Professional player is not going to suffer the in game morale drops that others suffer from, (and to a lesser degree a Determined player), but prioritise these players over other. 

Happy. :thup:
Good Personality. :thup:
Good body language. :thup:

(50c) Ako (FRA) (GPE) 6'0" has just scored 5 goals in the opening 4 league games of the 2058/59 season. If we include the last game of last season, he has scored 6 goals in his last 5 games. 

He's only 23 years old but has already scored 98 career goals.

Just to let you are not talking into the void, I can confirm I'm once again doing this challenge. My current contender is Muhammad Bamidele 26g. Now, I don't think he will break any records, but he is well on his way to doing a good job.

RLS7qH8.png

So far his total number is 27. 26 league goals and 1 in a cup.

Since I'm still quite low in the pyramid, I'm sure I'll replace him at some time, but for now I'll track him and post updates whenever I feel like it.

A GK scoring a goal is a big deal. 

A GK scoring 2 goals in a match is a really big deal.

2 different GK's each scoring a goal on the same day for the same club seems a ridiculous think to say. 

The idea that 1 GK could score a hat-trick for the 1st Team in the Liga Portugal Bwin on the same day that another GK at the same club scores a hat-trick for the B Team in the Liga Portugal 2 SABSEG is mind-blowing, but it's happened.

Goal-scoring GK watch. May 2033

(31a) Fernando may have "only" scored 7 goals this season, but when you consider we were battling relegation in the top flight this season and he scored 7 goals, but only scored 12 goals last season in LaLiga2 as we got promoted, it perhaps suggests that in the grand scheme of things he might actually have done better this season. He's got 2 years left on his contract and a +3 clause on top of that with a hefty £20M min fee release clause.

My team, JJK from Finland, is playing against Glentoran in the Europa Conference League Qual. Round. I decided to give a young goalkeeper a chance. He has '10' for Free Kicks, so I put his name on the sheet to take direct free kicks. And this is the result, in his very first match:

27 goals in a season

I forgot to post this at the end of last season. 

After scoring 22, 24, 23, & 19 goals in his previous seasons, (32g) Kadriu 6'1" scored 27 goals in all competitions in the 2042/43 season. 

7789a82aaf66ecf74c7b4204f062a3b1.png

He's already scored 20 goals this season and we still have at least 15 games to play and possibly as many as 18 games

A hat-trick is always a good reason for an update

He didn't take pens or free-kicks for the 1st 7 years of his career.

But since then he's scored at a really decent rate. 

22 goals in 2038/39.

S1 - GK Scoring Challenge - Rushall

GK Jake Weaver - 11 Goals

 League: 13th

Brilliant stuff @leicester33:applause:

If you have time, maybe you would like to post some screenshots. 

What people often do is post a GIF of the goal itself, (if it's a good one), or just the end of season stats for the GK.
