I understand what you mean, but its not a theory The bit you quoted is probably intended to mean the same as I said but its a poor translation - poor wording from Nordeus can sometimes confuse the meaning in Nordeus statements just like in their many statements on arrows .

There was a better explanation in the last Ask the Devs stuff. There was also a titbit in it regarding how much difference it made.

Just apply the more simple scenario with FK SA to the others i.e. FK SA is triggered when a FK is taken.

Training an SA on a player is not necessarily wrong and it could've worked but I wanted to confirm the situation on when it applied so that the best choice can be made with a greater chance of success. #targettedtraining

Oop can ofc be good to find a role that a player can succeed at rather than bin him - saved me a few T in OMA a couple of seasons ago to get a failed MC playing well at DMC and a low Q 'off the boil' ST as AMR but sometimes there needs to be an acceptance that a player is a dud or if he was once good then that he's been broken.
