Okay so far so good with this challenge. I don't know if my brain just stop working or I'm overlooking a lesson. Here's my code:

# you can use the roster len to fill in the (1-X) number
# also make sure you use int(input()) in order to get a integer input so that we can then access the roster with that integer
goal_keeper = int(input("Please select a goal keeper by the player's number. (1-{}): ".format(len(roster))))
# here we just use the index number to get the goal keeper's name.
# we use [goal_keeper - 1] because an array starts with 0, 1, 2, 3, 4...etc
# so we have match the way a list is structured
print("Your goalkeeper is {}".format(roster[goal_keeper-1]))
# hopefully this makes sense
