Special SKills

More plays on the ball for a defender/DMC would likely mean more chances of foul occurring. I've never seen a MC/AMC playmaker but maybe the converse is true is they are deployed in a more attacking position and shape. Anyone attest to this?

Yes, but the offender should be the opponent and not one of your players, because a playmaker passes the ball around with better accuracy.

[HoofDaddy]

I'm not so sure it works exactly like that in T11.

I'm not so sure it works exactly like that in T11.

If so, they got it wrong, just like wingers cannot be assigned the dribbling ability. No offence, but it seems that some of the people working for Nordeus don't know enough about football.

Buffs, see.

see what? That I was right?





PS. I think I forgot to reply on fb about whether he's mentioned as starting counters. (I'm not often on fb now because the booster vids just irritate me more than the gain )

I think the person starting a move that mentions "counter attack" is rarely named.

And yes, a P-M is a bit of a yellow card magnet. This is why I've had the hypothesis before (and I think I mentioned it to you recently) that an SA might not simply provide a boost to the triggered skill but may even involve a penalty to another Lord Nordeus giveth and taketh away ....... but that's just a musing and not to be taken seriously.

Testing P-M

Unfortunately I couldn't say that Mulgrew's ratings did improve with the addition of the SA because Nordeus changed the ratings the day after (iirc) he was given it. His average was up 0.5 or more but so too were 5 other players ratings in my team.

I agree that playmaker can be useful, but for sure a yellow card magnet. I used to give it to MC or DMC/MC, I too have defensive/counter style and they were irritatingly suspended too often. Maybe I will try it on an AMC/MC.

SA VS STAR



I wonder if stars are really better than special abilitys..
Look at these too players these season

Cristiano Ronaldo in 7 games scored 8 goals
Félix de Carlos in 6 games scored 2 goals(1 from penalty)

Cristiano Ronaldo have so better statistics with a lower quality, 27 to 33 is a important difference.

Is it the same matches they have played? same opponents same formation matches?

and again you would need more games to really compare.

The last player could be the result of an easy (early) cup opponent

[Cesar Santos]

Yeah, exactly the same matches, formation 4-4-2 these are the 2 strikers of my squad.
They have morale always suberb.

Another thing..in the atack skills, Cristiano ronaldo has better passing ..crossing..than shooting and finishing.
Felix de Carlos has shooting, dribbling and fisnishing way better than passing and crossing

[HoofDaddy]

They seem to complement each other well, keep us posted on their performance together in the season 69 thread
