    2-Should i consider the foot of player when putting him in a certain position ? it means should i put in DL post a left footed player ? what does it add ? or left or right doesn't matter ?
    I look for right or either footed players for DR and MR or L for opposite equivalents. But if a R-footed DL is on the market with good ratings then I'm not going to miss the chance of a 'Tommy Gemmell' But ultimately if they don't perform they're out.
    3-Should i buy defenders and attackers with 1 m 90 cm height or + so they score and defend better with their heads ?
    I don't really bother - if it makes a difference then an easier game mechanic to implement would be using a 'performance factor' based on balance between height and weight - much simpler to implement in code than actual height factor and therefore more likely imo. But I don't buy fatties or weaklings even if it means I might miss out on Der Bomber. (Apologies to the Mass-ively challenged)
    4-Corner and free kicks takers , should i put a left footed player to shoot left freekicks same for corner or the inverse ? or it doesn't matter too ?
    Although, if I was a real manager I might encourage a rightie from left and leftie from right for both CK and FK as a starting point, I find same foot/side appears to be better in the game. Commentary does support this preference but having a rule or Commentary bias doesn't matter - outcomes do. If its not working for a player change it, if its still not working change him.
    There are no general rules that fit all - Observe.

    I have a starting point with the issues you raise, indicated above, but if it doesn't work then I try something else.

    eg Strikers I might start with a rightie ST on the right - if he does well or badly I try on left. I either end up with a player that I feel I know where to play - either or both or one I know can't play, sell and try again. Same for CK and FK.

    But, for my last 6 STs I've had 1 leftie that only performed on right - 3 others were/are either footed (2 performed both sides other I don't remember) and 2 righties performed on the right.

    I'm not even going to go into the whole "Can a player be better in Cup or League or CL or combo or......" >.<

    Rules only work if you see the performance to back it up.

    And no-one here can say for definite - its not an mmorpg where you see the outcome of each action and can calculate - so go with your gut/hunch/opinion of others and test/observe.

    My philosophy is to think of this game as more like pnp dnd with hits n misses, successes and failures, bonus and penalties and a dm(/commentary) that tells a story over the top.
    You don't actually know whats happening but its a nice bit of entertainment to play along with and enjoy.
