Total percentage vs individual stats

[Simon Melling]

Hi all. When selecting a team, do you check individual stats or do you just go for total rating.

For example. I have a Striker who is 6* 101% quality. But looking at his stats, most of the highlighted ones (for position) are less than 100% yet things like tackling and marking are close to 120%. Couple of questions:

Does this give a false overall for his position? And how much does this affect his in game performance?
And
Do you sacrifice overall stats for position specific stats?

only the general quality

But looking at his stats -

I suppose you 're talking about the skills, not the stats

not much. The talent of a player and overall quality is much more important.

Do you sacrifice overall stats for position specific stats?

I would prefer to buy a scout list player for 2-3 token (if I could ) , ST with q 37 for example and balanced skills , instead of a ST with 33 q but with high (say 39) attacking skills.

* ok, I would avoid to buy a ST with double defending than attacking skills

I would love a high defense striker for high pressing formations/setpieces
