I dont know if this is the right section to post this. Sorry if it isnt!
Anyway, I was wondering, can anyone explain what all the various headings under a players profile mean? There are some which I'm confused on. This might have already been covered, but I havent found it anywhere on the forum yet. A link or explanations would be a great help! Specifically:
Anticipation
Bravery
Composure
Decisions
Flair
Influence
Off the ball
Positioning
Agility
Balance
Its easy enough to deduce what the words mean, but I cant understand what they have to do with a particular position. For eg: should I look at a CB's ratings in composure, flair, agility and balance? For a ST, should I look at his bravery, influence and such? I suppose something like "off the ball" would be important for a striker who's supposed to be a 'poacher' like Owen. But why would I need it for someone like say Henry? Same goes for positioning.
Anticipation - Is there timing right, or do they rush into challenges. Players with poor anticipation normally get booked alot.
Bravery - if they duck out of challenges. John Terry for example, has 20 for bravery, as he never wimps out
Decisions - if they make the right choices, for example passing to some one who is marked or passing to someone free.
Flair - How much style they play with, so Arsenal would have high flair, as would this seasons Man City and last seasons Man Utd
Influence - Simple really, how much someone influences some one else. Normally captains have high influence
Off the ball - Do they find space when they dont have the ball? Do they make runs?
Positioning - Important for keepers, if it is a free kick for example, does the player put himself in the right place? This is also very important for keepers
Balance - Does the player stay on his feet if possible? If yes, e has high balance.
Sorry, not sure about Composure and Agility, hope the ones above helped!
Anticipation is also needed for strikers in anticipating where the ball will go
Positioning is a critical attribute for defenders and especially DCs
Balance is also good for strikers.
Composure is essential for strikers and penalty takers by not rushing their shot
Agility is mainly an attribute for keepers
