It always depends the quality as well, as for yea i confirm a goalie like scout(without sa) is better than a 5 star with any ability, n for the others, they work but also depends who is ur opponent, like a 5 star free kick specialist won't score often vs a scout goalie o higher, if oponent has same quality player then they work well, but vs higher they work much less. Like my goalie scout no ability doesn't make me worried vs a striker with 1:1 if he isn't at least a 5 star striker
