This former player of mine was a 6 yard box predator. I strongly believe that penalty specialist have a bonus to their finishing stat and i used this one as a lone CF with long passing. He missed one competitive penalty out of 13 in 5 seasons (it was in a league game we were already up 3-0). I would only put the ability on CF/STs and would boost their defense and attack over their physical mental to get the benefits of the finishing boost on headers and box positioning on loose/through balls.
