FIFA.com's fledgling 'Have Your Say' series had already been declared a roaring success as the end of October neared, with users' comments flooding in to us in their thousands on subjects debating Ronaldinho and Kaka, the English Premier League and USA's Major League Soccer. Over the past week-and-a-half, however, the response has rocketed to a new level, with over 1,000 publishable views submitted on the world's best goalkeeper and free-kick expert debates alone.

The two best managers in English Premier League history were also reviewed, but we kick off our new, weekly round-up with a look at FIFA.com's most popular story of the week: a one-sided vote on the beautiful game's premier No1.

King of keepers: Rogerio Ceni reigns supreme
With, at the time of writing, almost 60,000 page views and well over 600 comments, the overwhelming response to the question of which goalkeeper stood above all others smashed all existing records on the new FIFA.com. And there was only ever going to be one winner.

He may not be widely regarded outside South America as one of the goalkeeping greats, and his critics will doubtless point to the fact that, at 33, he has only 16 international caps to his name. Rogerio Ceni, however, is clearly more beloved by Brazilians and fans of Sao Paulo in particular than any of his more famous peers currently plying their trade in Europe.

Of the comments we received, at least nine in every ten were in praise of a man who is both dependable between the sticks and, as he has proved on a record 76 occasions, deadly at the other end. "There is no goalkeeper in the world today that is more complete that Rogerio Ceni," wrote Brazilian user cesarssa. "Placing perfect... technique, courage and reflexes unbelievable. And if all this not enough, Rogerio is still the greatest goalkeeper marksman in the history of football."

Finishing a distant second was Gianluigi Buffon, winner of the Lev Yashin award for his efforts at Germany 2006, with Albanian Mitrovicalia leading the praise of the inspirational Italian. "Buffon is from another planet...he's simply the best, and I think he will remain the legend of goalkeepers." Others pledged their allegiance to the likes of Petr Cech, Oliver Kahn, Artur Boruc and Iker Casillas, while Guillermo Ochoa emerged as something of a dark horse, with the Mexican youngster certainly one to watch in the future.

Free-kick master: Too close to call
A runaway winner of our goalkeeper debate, Rogerio Ceni also emerged as one of the prime candidates for last week's initial discussion topic. On this subject, however, the plethora of set piece experts currently gracing the game was underlined as countless candidates were put forward for the honour.

Nearly 10,000 users checked out the debate as 323 comments were posted, and the likes of Cauhtemoc Blanco, Ronaldinho, Roberto Carlos, Steven Gerrard, Jay-Jay Okocha, Shunsuke Nakamura, Pierre van Hooijdonk, and Mohamed Aboutrika all featuring at regular intervals.

Andrea Pirlo emerged as an early frontrunner, Imcintyre in England observing that the AC Milan playmaker brings "accuracy, pace and technique" to dead ball situations in any advanced area of the field. Juninho Pernambucano and Juan Roman Riquelme also ranked in the top five, Lyon's Brazilian midfielder hailed as "the maestro" by USA-based rookiehool and his Argentinian rival lauded by Lebanon's Elio10 as "the king of free-kicks".

Just as predictably, the most iconic free-kick taker of the past decade featured prominently. Renegade01 from Australia led the tributes: "This category belongs to one man... David Beckham. They all fall in comparison to Becks. He has single-handedly put his club team and country through so many games with those free kicks."

By the end, however, the Rogerio Ceni bandwagon was well and truly rolling, with one of the Sao Paulo talisman's many supporters, LucianoRaus, suggesting that the veteran Brazilian's ability to score set pieces at one end and save them at the other gave him a decisive advantage. "Rogerio Ceni is undoubtedly the free-kick master," the Mexico-based user wrote. "Not only because of the obviously quality and precision of his kicks but specially because he also knows how to defend free-kicks very well too."

good things

Rogério Ceni has since extended his record to 93 league goals (42 from the penalty spot), Chilavert is second, way back on 62 goals. And he is still active; looks like he will hold the record for a long time.

he is amazing ,too bad his NT career was short lived

............went off him a little after he had a nightmare/frango against Barcelona in 1999 for the centenary game and said it was not his fault! That did not go down well with Luxemburgo..............

Rogério Ceni gets his 100th goal in the match São Paulo 2 x 1 Corinthians, with a beautiful curling freekick.

A living legend, no doubt. This is a record that will be hard to break.

I wonder how Chilavert is taking this? Last time I heard, he insisted that Rogerio only scored more goals than him because Rogerio played twice a week in Brasil while Chilavert only played once a week - which might be an argument if Rogerio's goal average weren't also better than Chilavert's (and most of Chila's goals were from penalties - 45 with only 15 freekick goals, while Rogerio scored on 44 penalties and 56 freekicks). Chilavert can still brag to Rogerio on two fronts: Chilavert scored 8 goals for his NT while Rogerio never scored for his, and on direct confrontations Chilavert scored once on Rogerio (on a 1997 Velez Sarsfield x São Paulo match) while Rogerio never scored on the Paraguayan.

A true legend fair play, always admired him

All 100 goals:
