I bought a ST with free kick ability at level 2, 34 Q, age 22.

I got him to 7* within a couple of days, didn't power train him.

He scored 40+ goals that season.

You can see him on my team showcase, I'd post a link but I'm on my iPhone.

Saying that, I do have a couple of scout MC's that are ****, but then again I play down the flanks so they don't do much in the team other than defend the opponents attacks through the middle, hence why they usually only hit 7 form.
