What does the captain do ingame?? Does it modify something in the player?
good question ...
From what I read he doesn't do anything special...
by what has been said to me, I also agreeQuote:

Just like left and right legged player. It is just there for fun.
I think they should make these things do something. I have no idea what... But it should have some effect on the game or player.
Its annoying how much of what I do in the game I find out is pointless.
thats right, captains, left-right legged, height, weight....all these doesn't make any player better or affect the team performance.
Well I learnt something here. I have been looking for players with right/left :( Thought it would do something depending on the side of play. I also thought "both" would be better for corners and free kicks....Quote:

Captain, on the other hand, confuses me. One would think there is a reason to have it other than every team in sports has one.
Does it give you a benefit? That, amigo, is something I would like to find out. Maybe you get an extra 1% possession if your named captain is on the field? Who knows?

left and right does matter. For example of you have an MC and your MR gets injured your right footed MC will work better in this position than a left footer.
It also helps on free kicks and corners.
In regards to quality scores, you need to be careful as quality for a can be affected by the entire squad and therefore brought down by lower quality squad players. Ie the first team amy be a lot higher than the average quality suggests.
Also depending on how you load your skill points an average looking striker could have a massive attacking score and very low physical and defensive score.
Take this into account average means AVERAGE across everthing
For all we know... some players may have that hidden leadership skills where some players can inspire and lead team to success where other players are better at simply being just a team player.Quote:

You can easily see on the market there are many left foot who is DR, DMR, MR or AMR, vice versa there are many right foot who is DL,DML,ML, and AML. According to you, we should not buy these players since they are in the wrong place with the wrong foot?
I think the foot is important in every position for determining the winning solution for the game engine. Why have it if it is not important. Height and weight might have some influence, but probably very little. tall defenders might be better, heavier players might be better or worse depending on the position. If not, then the height and weight are there to make things a bit more human.Quote:

Good stuff for asking the devs next time!!!Quote:

Since I decided to give my best DC the captain's armband, I noticed that my defence started to play much better + scoring goals. :)
My 19 y/o playmaker MC Player form was always 5-5-5-6-4 but since i made him captain he consistently gave 7-7-8-7-8 sometimes 9 or 6 ,he was captain for the last 2 seasons and this season i decided to remove him from captain this year and he gives me 6-7-6-6-7... i have reinstated him as captain and very curious to see his performance now hehe
Once again. A 2 month old thread has been bumped back up.
Captain Obvious strikes again. Keep bumping up that post count! :pQuote:

Do you just pick one player on the list or have lots in case that player cannot player?
I think this calls for a trial run on Andre Steigelmann (the player that has had consistently poor ratings in games he has played so far this season).
Will give this a shot in the CL game later tonight with Steigelmann as captain.

Listen i only commented [or "Bumped" ] on this post because my friend was asking me about Captains role and there were no active threads about it.
So i posted my views and also just checked out what some other people had to say...
which would be helpful for some of the other newcomers aswell Right?
Any Probs?
I would have to agree with gtmsnba13. I have noticed that a player does tend to perform better when he has the captain's armband! I also had a Centre Midfielder (a young player) since League 1 who was my captain for 3.5 seasons, and each game he would put in a 'captain's performance' and rate highly. And he isn't the highest rated player in my team. Also at Level 4, I had a scout Left Midfielder whose performances are quite average at best, but plays better and scores more when he is captain. Could just be a coincidence, but I have noticed it makes a difference.
I usually give the captaincy to my older players
