This is one of the first tests I dreamed up for Football Manager and I’m finally bringing it back for FM21. Which attributes are the most important for goalkeepers in football manager? I had some theories going into it, about positioning, reflexes, and agility, which had all affected my scouting in FM in the past, but crunching some numbers never lies. Especially when FM is a game run off attributes that are all spreadsheets and numbers in the first place.
The test itself obviously has some flaws. The standard of deviations that FM simulations like this have is pretty wide, which the 10 attempts and total points/goal difference is set up to compensate for. There are also attributes for goalkeepers that do nothing for them in football manager, providing something of a placebo test to see the range that keepers with 10 in all-important attributes tend to fall into. That range was solidly wide, but general trends in attribute importance can be picked up, which is what I love. So yes, I know this isn’t a good enough test to write an academic paper on, but it’s cool and fun and tells us a bit about keepers in FM21.
Much Love,
FM Senpai
