Papaleo Jr. (Just gone) had that 68 goal haul in L13 but there were better players around Papaleo then and as JF declined a little towards L19... Papaleo was still finding the net as a natural goalscorer and putting good performances in even as a 6* player in L19 and then a 5* player in L20.
I agree with you July, when I noticed it, I decided to mix my team with all ages, my best free kick taker some seasons back was just a year to retire, boy I dnt recall him missing any free kicks. But there is a trick to it, some experienced guys are worse off, I've also had a free kick taker with similar age with the first one I had, hoping for similar results, this guy disappointed me in a crucial CL match I had to win with just one more goal. He missed 3 free kicks. I think some get better with age, others worse. Looks kind of real.
