Questions about special abilities

[dv8r]

Defensive wall is good at blocking shots from free kicks
Shadow striker has good shooting stats and will score you a lot of goals.

But if there is for example a 5* player with no special ability and a 4* player with defensive wall special ability, I'd go for the 5* player. Of course it's better to have a 5* player with defensive wall but it's all down to their specific stats

My best player specialises in corners but is excellent at taking free kicks, so it's all down to their stats.

Hi Dv8r, observe something kinda strange. I have a 2* 31 year old defender with Aerial Header ability. He seems to perform better than the other defenders with 3* and 4*. He has gotten MOMs for matches and consistently high ratings for games. And he sometimes scores goals too.

And some players with high crossing and passing kicks the ball wide into the crowd from free kicks sometimes...

well, in my 1st season, I had a 29yr old DC that I tried to sell (and failed) cuz his stats sucked and was worst on the team. After some hard tackler injured 2 defenders and knocked them out for 5 days, I had to sub him in. that dude was MOM 3 times, he scored (5 goals total), and his average rating was 8. I swear he's like giving me and retirement two middle fingers up. and it was just 5 matches.

oddly, I actually succeeded in selling him 2nd season in. his replacement ain't shabby, I bought a cheap 26yr old as back up after I sacked everyone 30 and above, and he's the one getting MOMs (not the 18-22yr olds). no scoring, but quietly stopping goals, average rating 8 and collecting MOMs.

and none of them have special skills lol. strange x3...
