    What do Defensive Wall, Playmaker, Dribbler and Shadow Striker do?

    I'm training 2 guys the wall and playmaker. Wanna train a winger the SS (but can't get AML-ML and/or AMR-MR of my liking). Have a little interest in dribbler. Never had them, what do those do? What's your experience with them?

    A good defence is the best offense.

    Dribbler is useless. One on one is useless. Playmaker imo is brilliant but not many people agree with me.

    Useful ones are corner, playmaker, shadow striker, freekick, defensive wall, header, one on one.

    There's a function, in every SA... then, depend if is well programmed... or, if another SA internally dominates, to create situations thata are more typical from another SA...

    For example, not about SA's but today, I did a subs' in the match, as AMC I changed the ST that was there for another ST, and this worked in defense all match, saving me.

    Talking of SA's, I had in my first seasons a good playmaker, called Edgar Davids, that scored a promide of 1 goal per match and with the same action, "suddenly shoot from far away" (it said : Davids suelta un trallazo" and then, goal in 90% chances. I think that this action is more typical of a shadow striker... but not sure, maybe too for playmakers is internally avaliable...
    Then as ive said all is the same, a SA, give a advantadge in some actions, but for example is not so strange have 3 players corner specialists and see that the best man is another...
    In this game, nothing is a guarantee,test is basic, and who dares sometimes, win.

    I still haven't seen any significant effect of SA's, so I am very uncertain that they are more than a visual gimmick

    My corner ability player has 2 assists from corner out of 6 games. I had a CM playmaker with 15 assists in half a season.

    Take a look first at your team and at what you need more. I will tell you from my own experience latetly.

    Long ago I have up on Play Makers because they played bad but recently I got one and since then I always keep one and they perform very well seems like.

    Shadow striker is nice, I always have, at the moment I have 3 in my full suqad and 2 in the first eleven.

    Defensive Wall is like a must and is working, trust me, you can see that better on live game (android or iOS).

    If I will have to choose one from what you said I will go for the shadow striker but depends on what you need too.

    To fully answer your answer here is what the abilities do

    Freekicks-score & assist
    Penalties-score penalties (useless)
    Corners-assist from corners
    Playmaker-create clearcut chances
    One on one-composure in front of goal, beat offside trap (useless)
    Dribbler-make forward runs with ball
    Shadow striker-shoots from distance
    Defensive wall-blocks freekicks
    Header-stops crosses
    One on one stopper-reduces chances of goals being countered
    Penalty stopper-stops penalties

    The only SA that is useful is the FK specialist, koley scored amazing goals with it.

    I started to love Shadow Striker SA, player with this SA shoots from distance more than others
