Well this screenshot was for another posting, but I thought I could us it here, I AM A SAddict, I admit it!
Never had less then 18, had 22 for a few seasons, heaven.......
Its not always possible to get a good SAs, some are duds, some are just plain stupid and some just don't fit how I play.
Always please put your priorities right when talking about QUALITY of a player, STARS comes first! which in turn entails Quality of Skills (Att/Def/Phy&Men) which should be reflected in the Statistics (Goal/Assist/MOTM). I use the word SHOULD with reservation because that is not always the case.
SA's are not worth a Star, maybe 2 or 3 quality points of (att/deff/P&M) at the most.
The SA will perform at one STAR up at his Special Ability, when and only when the situations arises! Penalties, One-on-one, corners....etc.
He is what he is the rest of the time.
"A Good players with SAs, will out perform an equally GOOD player without a SA, at their 'Specialty', if and when that special situation arises.....PERIOD!" ~ P.L. Willis
P.S. A Penalty SA will sky the ball every now and then! He is a specialist not GOD!
