Testing SA's Thread

Good study, Nash. Would you agree that effectiveness of PM might be position dependent?

I think, center positions are better.
My both PM (old and new) play(ed) MC. For sure, my old PM was optical, based on goals/assists much better than the new one, BUT why is the new one on an average rating of 8,9? There are so many reasons, you can't compare, to get a 100% result: maybe my new PM made the same (or more) assists/goals, if he had played instead of my old.
Maybe Nordeus changed some things about CK, direct assists,... or... Costa is now a legend player, and no one can "beat" him anymore?
(Costa need one more MoM-title for new record of 23 - and we are at the beginning of week 3. oO )

PM of my wife and her brother both DMC. They make no CK, but nearly every game, the icon pops once or twice.

I will have to say we don't know enough to know trust 100% where special abilities can come into effect. Remember too that devs have started not all abilities are shown, so some could also be used in other calculations without animation of comment.

In the case of Riyahi... it's easy to think... play often starts from the GK, if he can pass up to DC with good passing and playmaking, that will be a good option compare to usual DC abilities.

Shooting, finishing, creativity, passing are all grey skill for a DC, but still they will score and create goals in creative ways.

I had a defender, who was 25 y.o., shooting and finishing at his last season were 1%, but he scored 12 goals. So, I really don't know, if the attributes are important.

Another example: Costa is my best player at shooting, finishing and creativity. He will be the best player I have (had) for a long time, but he is the worst penalty-kicker.
Kraxner, overall worse at attributes is my penalty-scorer. 4 seasons ago, he started to be my PK, and I don't remember a penalty he missed.
Both are FK.

That's why I think about some hidden stats or something else.
