Today I lost a game 6-0 in overtime.

My kicker miss 2 field goals, one 40 yarder on my 1st drive, and another on my 1st drive in overtime. Which they scored on their mext drive.

Everyone says you only need a kicker with 7-8 to put them through the bar consistencely. But my kicker has a skill of 8.

His consistency is 20, so that ain't the problem.

Help!!!

There is no guarantee a 18ish kicker would have made a 40 yarder.

For sure chances an 8ish Kicker to make a 40 yarder imo are very very very low

On kicker i have to decide: is it worth to have a 50k instead a 10k per week just to have better chance once in a season and win ONE more game...

...or will i go with an 10k and invest salary into offense players just to make sure i get the best possible 18 weeks long...

I go with the offense....

I ve said time and again that the kicking/punting skill determines the distance (At 8 your kicker should get you 3 from 30yards consistently)
but then again i m not everyone

IMHO
A kicker needs not only the Skills to perform FGs.
He also needs the Rating.
A kicker with 10 in the Skills like
KICK, POS, VIS and STR might not hit a 40 yarder
if he hasnt a 4* BPOS.
Look at your Players Kickoffs. If they get you over 40 in the avg,
they might get you over 40 in FGs.

Mine is going in average over 60 Yards in the Kick-Offs...

...and he barely scores from 40 yards FGs...
