What does it do? If it has effect on striker, should I train them in defending too?

It's not as important for a striker as it is for a defender. But if you have him help out to defend at set pieces it could help him to not lose the man he's meant to be marking.

Conversly Composure in a defender can help to stop him making panicky clearances.

So even my strike has concentration as low as 1 and still score well?

Concentration should apply to all positions really.

I mean if a striker has low concentration he probably is less likely to score.

Just like a defender with low concentration might make more mistakes, or a goalie might fumble crosses / make the wrong decisions etc.

If a goalkeeper has low concentration... well, look what happened on Wednesday.

Concentration would be important for a striker in situations like staying onside. I'd imagine (though I haven't checked) that if concentration is high, positioning would be too.

i think our defenders must've had concentration 1 too!

They had Concentration, Pressure, Important Match, Decisions, Determination and Teamwork at 1 from where I was watching

Concentration is linked to marking - its a 100% defensive stat.
Composure is NOT needed for defenders who never get forward .
I have done hours of test with player on 1 concentraion/composure compared to 20.
Your defender play just as "calm" with 1 or 20 composure..and your strikers are just as "focused" all 90 min with 1 or 20 concentraion (yes they are weak if you put them back on corners).
Also goal keepers dont need composure or even concentration..I did a test over 10 games with Dida on 1 composure and concentration - no problem.

i dunno, i try and avoid low concentration keepers, dont want the keeper switching off at 89 minutes to let a goal in.
