Some quiestions?

[Toxcatl]

Hi!
I have some questions, that I would like to ask.

1. Does player moral and condition affects player performance in association games?
2. Which is more important when I want to choose my defender? Player quality or defensive skills?
( 6* and 110% def or 5* and 112% def ) Or should I just choose the player who performs better? Also same thing about midfielders and attackers...
3. I just can't get my passing % over 86%. Playing 4-2-3-1 and: Attacking, middle, short passing, pressing high, normal tackling, man-to-man, and no counter, no offside...

Thanks for the answers!

1. Yes, they do.
2. Skills are more important. The Quality (stars) are just average value of skills (both useful and useless). You have to decide what skills are important, and choose based on this. Maybe your defender needs not only Defensive skills? Maybe your Striker needs Speed? I don't know, you decide.
Stars are like average temperature of a group of people, you can't tell from it who's actually sick and need healing.
And yeah, Rating matters above all. It's just a low-quality player can perform better than HQ player in easy games, but fails in difficult ones.
3. I think Passing skill matters. Almost all midfielders (of any kind) in my team have high passing skill, from 160% to 200% (my team is 110-120%). I sometimes have % of completed passes on 90%+ with Mixed passing style and 85% with Long.
I also usually have more Posession than even stronger teams, maybe it's because of Passing too, I don't know. I also like to play with as many midfielders (of any kind) as possible -- 3 defenders, 1 striker, 6 midfielders.
