ost important attributes
Handling – The most important attribute for keeper, I believe. Low handling means that goalkeeper can miss or loose the ball flying near his hands.
Reflexes – The second important attribute showing how GK can react to make a save. Keeper with Reflexes= 20 is be able to do fantastic saves.
Jumping – Guy with low Jumping will be not so good in coping with long shots or crosses from flanks.
Less important attributes
Agility – It’s always better to have more agile goalkeeper.
Aerial Ability – How easily your GK can do his job when he is in the air, for instance, claiming crosses in the box.
Communication & Command of Area – I do not see big diversity between these two. But both attributes are important and about communication with defenders. The second one is more used during set pieces.
Concentration – important during last minutes of the game, extra time. Low concentrated goalkeepers are vulnerable to last minute goals.
Decisions - low Decisions may lead to wrong actions like coming out of the box trying to get the ball when opponent’s striker is a bit closer to it.
Height – Low heighted keeper can have problems with such giant strikers as Jan Koller or Nicola Zigic.
One on Ones – defines how much goalkeeper is confident and agile during one on one situation with opponent’s player.
Positioning – low positioning of GK will lead to goals when opponent players shoot the target.
Rushing Out – how must keeper is able to rush off his line trying to intercept the ball passed from one opponent’s player to another or grab the ball from the feet of opponent player.
Examples of perfect goalkeepers
Iker Casillas, Gianluigi Buffon, Petr Cech
