Sometimes but not all the time you have to go even with a little bit of practical thinking. Example, I had a midfielder who's biggest attribute was shooting. I used him as FK taker and despite not having FK special ability he scored around 85% of FK during his peak (If he had SA I'd think it was because of it but no). Same with corner when I don't have a corner specialist I use the player with the biggest crossing attributes with optimal results. I agree with HairDryer with the attacking players observation.
