Penalty Kicks
The more aggressively you play, and the more power-orientated your team, the greater the chance of you giving away a penalty (or penalties) in a game. A penalty can be scored, missed or saved by your goalkeeper.
The higher the performance levels of your GK, the better his chance of saving a penalty. The higher the skill levels of the penalty taker the higher the chance of hitting the target. There is a space on your turn sheet for nominating your penalty taker. If you don’t nominate a penalty taker then the computer will pick one entirely at random if you are awarded a penalty kick, and as this could be any one of your players, regardless of his skill, it might be wise for you to remember to nominate your own choice each time (you’d be surprised at the number of managers who neglect this simple task and suffer the consequences as the computer picks their GK to take the penalty).
