How do you pick CK, FK, PK?

[ponzu]

Has the impact of certain skills on successful execution of CK, PK and FK been discussed and agreed upon, or does every manager make their own assumption?

I have no success with CK and FK. I did when I was at a lower level and my DC/DMC Busquets with FK specialist SA scored a lot. With him being a sophomore holdover, his relative rating has fallen off (he is at 93% on a team led by and playing against 110% players) and he misses more often than not, so he got relegated in the FK taking order. Not that others score much.

Nor do I see many goals scored from CK. Maybe about 20%. What percentage would you consider satisfactory?

I can't complain about PKs. I am not awarded that many and score most just as one would expect.

I know some suggest testing many players on CK and FK, but I have a problem with that.

One, I don't believe Nordeus would program a player to be better or worse at CK and FK. If a player appears to be that way, it is either due to his skills or coincidence/luck.

Two, I don't get that many chances to have a good sample size. What would it mean if Player A took a CK an a goal was not scored? That I have to give him 4 more chances to see if he beats the 20% average? Or that I should replace him and risk missing out on a 50% CK assister? In the past, when we played friendlies, perhaps in midseason it was possible to test enough players. But now that everything goes into training and this elusive 10% bonus, it's unrealistic (thanks a lot, Nordeus!)

I would much rather someone tell me that it has been proven (or universally agreed) that skill A (crossing?) is best for CK and skill B (shooting or finishing?) is best for FK.

And how much bonus do you think the FK specialist SA gives my 93-percenter? Enough to keep him at the top of the rotation?

P.S. My #1 FK taker with 114% Shooting and 120% finishing just missed two in the last game. Once he was thwarted by the Defensive Wall SA and once put it over the bar.
