my free kick specialists

[Buffs Mad]

The decision has to be on performance. But ofc you need to decide which ones to test - look for guys who score or assist or shoot or cross already and give them a try.

I tend to favour MCs and Strikers for who I test but couple of seasons ago I ended up trying an either footed AML/ML Shadow Striker and he performed best.

This was an either-footed DC FK specialist - he was a starting team player from creation so they are sometimes 'unusually exceptional'. But now I remember, he didn't play that long to suffer Attacking lag.



My favourite Buffs' FK expert was a right footed MC with FK sa - a Scout Market purchase.



Can't find any good stats on him but he finished Season 3 as top scorer and season 4 as top Assist, 2nd as goalscorer.




I know its not FK SA but I currently have been testing CKers. I have a left footed MC No SA (105Q Crossing) and a rightie MC (105Q crossing) who I gave CK SA to. The rightie's performance in general has fallen since he got the SA and he has had only 2 assists to boot, compared with my leftie no SA guy who has had 14 assists.

PS. The rightie wasn't actually much good at CKs before the SA but I wanted the test and I was prepared to waste the sp to do so.
PPS. Whether being given responsibility for something he's not good at has affected performance (or whether his performance slump was coming anyway and affected CKs) I'm not sure - so I'll be removing him from CK duties for the rest of the season. If he starts performing better I might give him more CKs.
