I would always take the Freekick specialist, when he is not much worse than the other in terms of rating and age.

For example I would prefer a 26 old 46 rated freekick Striker over a 19 year old 48 rated normal striker... There are so many players in topeleven and you can always buy new people.

But not a 30 y.o. 40 rated man over the other one... You have to think about it.
