Hi iam currently managing Fiorentina in 2013 and Seb Frey is now 35 and starting to lose his talent even in the confidence section the fans feel its time to find a replacement due to his underperforming.
I'am trying to find a new keeper under 30 but they are all a bit crap except akinfeev and ustari who are at my rivals. Every Keeper iam scouting my scout says that they are not as good as frey.
I'm sure they will be a few regen GK's out there who'll have high potential. You just have to search for them. Use your scouts and send them out to find GK's in various countries and I'm sure they'll come up with some.
You can try Hugo Lloris, Dean Bouzanis, Joao Carlos, Preston Edwards, Oier Olazabal, Felipe etc who are all very talented keepers at the start of the game and would have developed well by now. Its pretty hard to replace Frey anyhow. You should have got some youngsters in earlier and trained them up to take over from Frey eventually.
2013, Craig Gordon should be 30ish, leaving 4-6 good years. 20 for key GK attributes. Scott Carson ain't bad if he's left Liverpool and been playing regularly. There is also an Aussie or NZ backup keeper at Liverpool who is amazing, but I doubt he'll have displaced Reina yet. Jourdren should have developed too, if he's seen first team action.
In my 2011 Leeds team I have some regens with great potential - only their mental stats are lacking.
I think there is a general problem on '08 that keepers don't automatically come through the way strikers do.
Since the regens are very bad in the patch (mostly) you have to 'build' a player.
You get them cheap and early, give them a rigourous training schedule and some first team games.
Of course the difficult thing is to find a good regen early as they have low CA.
In my Lyon game, Coupet is still 1st choice at 38, I put him on a really busy workload and he's immensely consistent. I've been training up Anthony Scribe and he's just about ready, after being a reserve for 4 years.
