Special abilities

[SimplySimon]

I have not noticed anything special about the dribbler or playmaker, but I have to say Freekick and corner rule the roost.

I've been tracking my passing success rate, and it's better with my playmaker in the side even if he doesn't have a particularly high number of assists. I know you're not a fan of the idea that results are influenced by managers or dependant on match stats, but it seems to be working for me ;-)

Just so we are clear, I am of the belief that all the decisions are made before the game. For example: If you put the playmaker in the starting lineup, I would suggest that your passing stats will increase and assists for that matter. Should you have a defensive wall defender, I would suggest that the results will show that there are no free kick goals. And so on...

I firmly believe that anything you do DURING the game is a non-factor except to move the nice coloured possession bar back and forth and to change the names of the pre-determined scorers/cards/assists etc.
