Up first the Keepers. The top 5 attributes listed for the position as they fit into me tactic are listed.
| Goalkeepers | Position | Age | aerial | reflexes | 1 on 1 | handling | command |
| Tim Howard | GK | 33 | 15 | 18 | 17 | 17 | 11 |
| Brad Guzan | GK | 28 | 16 | 15 | 14 | 15 | 16 |
| Nick Rimando | GK | 33 | 10 | 16 | 14 | 15 | 10 |
A no brainer for the starter as Howard is clearly a cut above and his reflexes lead to many acrobatic saves. The main concern here is a lack of a good young keeper in the pipeline, which I will look to identify in the coming months.
