    Which goalkeepers are good at saving penalties?

    So, with Everton 3rd season, got Akinfeev in goal. Just got knocked out in quarter finals of league cup on penalties, he didn't save any of the 15 penalties he attempted to save... Which reminded me I have never seen him save one. So, are there any keepers that are especially good at this?

    So, what are the good goalkeepers out there?

    Just a random thought really, there don't seem to be many very good goalkeepers out there (something I guess is also true in real life...). I think its the most important position in the game, and I seem to always end up buying Akinfeev, and really struggle if controlling a smaller club...

    Roque Santa Cruz... surprisingly good?

    Hi there, Never ever rated him, mainly due to injuries and his frankly poor goal records... However started playing him second half of the season and in 18 games he has scored 16 and 8 assists.... Anyone know if he stays good? If not at least this form will probably increase his sale value...

    What overachievers have you seen?

    Hiya, Just wondering what computer-controlled teams/players have achieved way more in the game than would ever be expected in real life? After 5 years I noticed that Aston Villa and Spurs were basically sharing the premier league between them. And after three years Athletico Madrid were the...

    Anyone listen to football podcasts?

    Hiya, Just wondered if anyone listens to any, how many are out there and which ones are the best? I've been listening to the Football Weekly podcast from the Guardian, love it and wondered if there were more decent ones out there...

    Why do some teams try and get into Europe?

    Talking Uefa cup here, not champions league... Was just wondering, whats the point? The teams that qualify try all year to get there, then qualify and send weak squads because will hurt premier league campaign due to massive number of games. It can't be for the money, teams that don't go far...

    "Arrives Late in Opponents Area"?

    Hmmm... Is there something specific a player has to have to be able to learn this move? Really want to train one of my AMCs to do this, but never get the option, so just wondered if anyone knew? Cheers in advance

    How long do your games go on for?

    Hi there, just curious really.... I am pretty bad and tend to start a new game after playing an old one for about two or three seasons, mainly because I keep getting excited at the thought of managing a new team in a new league (currently considering starting a new one and establishing Aston...

    Hmmm I am evil..

    Managed Hoffenheim for two and a half years, then the Valencia job became available. German league was a bit of a canter really, lacking the challenge... So, once I had applied for job I offered a handful of players I wanted to take with me new contracts with minimum fee clauses and now have...

    Feeling popular :-)

    Decided to leave Hoffenheim and take on the Valencia job half way through the third season. 8 of my former backroom staff quit the Hoffe immediately, makes a man feel good :) Does this happen a lot?

    Wonderkid definition

    Hiya, Just wondering if anyone knows how someone can go from being wonderkid to not and back to wonderkid all the time? I have Sotiris Ninis, and it keeps chaning his description from wonderkid to flamboyant midfielder back to wonderkid and so on. Anyone know why?

    Hiya, been offered Pato by Milan, out of curiousity bid on him and he's keen to come. Not sure I need him though... Currently using two of Marquinhos/Keirrison/Laurito... Thinking maybe take Pato for a season, sell him on. Any thoughts/advice? Cheers :)

    Robinho or Arteta (or someone else?)

    Hiya, Hoffenheim, start of 3rd season. Sold Vargas to Real Madrid for 35m or so. Looking for replacement for ML/AML... I have quite a few young players coming up, but looking for world-class player... Any thoughts? (I like wingers that are fast, can dribble and cross). (I have about 40m to...
