Having said that, you still need one of these in your team.
Personally i would go as far as saying "Extremely Useful" on this. My MC with Freekick ability scores goals left right and center, in 13 league matches he's scored about 10 Freekicks (2 new ones in today's win). I've had my ST take them on some occations, but he blasts them over or into the wall mostly (and this guys as alot higher Shooting/Finishing than my MC).

So all in all I agree with most of your post, but i would upgrade the Freekick SA to somewhat better than only "useful" - and 2ndly i disagree about having your other player with higher shooting (unless its REALLY considerably higher atleast) to take them instead of the one with SA.

Other than that, well written post and it gave a little to think about atleast
