9,429 Pointscould goalkeeper selecting be simpler?
seems like this:
goalkeeper = input("Please select a goalkeeper from the list and enter the player number: ")
goalkeeper = int(goalkeeper) -1
print("Goalkeeper: {}".format(player_names[goalkeeper]))
would be simpler than this:
keeper = input("Please select the goal keeper by selecting the player number. (1-{})".format(len(players)))
keeper = int(keeper)
print("Great!!! The goalkeeper for the game will be {}".format(players[keeper - 1]))
I also don't understand (1-{})".format(len(players))...why would he do this?

20,883 PointsHey tyler borg, I'm not really sure if you need that -1 or any of that... but hey nice try! this the simplest way you could probably go for.
goalkeeper = input("Please enter the Goalkeeper's number from the list:\n ") goalkeeper = int(goalkeeper)
print("Your Goalkeeper for this match will be player number: {}".format(goalkeeper))
replay to me if you meant something else or if you wanted in some other way....I'll try my best to help you my guy. goodluck and happy coding...!

9,429 Pointsthanks for your reply, jassim Al-Hatem ...It seems like your answer is similar to mine, except I believe that you do need the -1 because the list indexing starts at [0], whereas the player list that we made starts at 1.
