Explanation on the Skill Attributes

[SuperDunk]

Thanks for the explanation. It is clearer now. So heading is purely defensive and will not help on scoring from header.

I think it does help attackers score headers, otherwise why is it a white skill?

Surely it does help.

From stats, ST who has better heading does score a lot more from corners than AMs even when AMs’ shooting and finishing are better. Saying that, defenders with very good heading skills may only score a couple from corners a season, if any.

With your original question, positioning mainly helps with defending attacks. When positioning reaches quite a high level, say 180%+, it does help greatly on improving those players into goalscoring positions. My DL/DC/DMC, who mainly operates as DL or DC these days, scores 10-15 goals per season even when his shooting is only around 10-20%. Such a low shooting stat should suggest he would not score, but excellent positioning surely overrides in those circumstances.
