Ok where to start with Newcastle. Let's go alphabetically.

Ameobi

140 PA is far too low. He should be at least 160 with a start of probably 140. He's also got poor finishing when he's actually quite decent. It's his movement which is pretty poor. I would have had his finishing at around 14 and off the ball at around 12. Composure, first touch and heading should also be a bit higher - around the 14 mark. 17 for workrate and 16 for agility seem a bit generous.

Babayaro

16 for tackling and positioning probably too high. His consistency and determination should also be reduced.

Bramble

Crossing, finishing, movement and balance should all be increased. Should also have tries long passes in preferred moves.

Carr

Has played right midfield in his career. Maybe have that position as 10/12. Would also have gets forward whenever possible in preferred moves.

Duff

Has played on the right and up front. Again possibly have 10/12 stats for each position. I'd also have tries killer balls often as a preferred move.

Dyer

160 PA seems a bit low. Should be nearer the 170 mark. He's also played at right back and right wing back in his career so these positions should be reflected. Long shots should be reduced to about 8, he's awful at them. Flair and determination are too high and surely injury proneness needs to be 20.

Emre

Should have positional stat of about 15 for attacking midfielder. Free kicks could be one or two points higher. He also tries killer balls, switches the ball to the other flank and runs with ball through the centre.

Given

170 seems a bit low as he's one of the top keepers in the league. 175 would be more accurate. Communication seems a bit high - 15 would be better.

Luque

150PA far too low - don't let his time at Newcastle suggest he's a bad player. I'd also change his positions as AML 20, SC 15, ML 14. Crossing, movement, vision, technique and composure should be increased while determination, pace and strength should be reduced. Should also have shoots with power as preferred move.

Milner

165 for PA would be more accurate. Having 20's for AM and RLC is too generous. Should be 20 for right and 15 for right and centre. Also 20 for left foot is too high and acceleration is too high. For preferred moves he likes to cut inside, gets forward whenever possible, knocks ball past opponent, moves into channels and runs with ball down right.

Moore

135 PA far too low. 155 would be better. 6 for dirtiness is probably too low as he has a history of red cards. Plus for preferred moves he plays shoort passes and stays back at all times.

N'Zogbia

180 possibly too high at this stage in his career. Somewhere between 170 - 175 would be more accurate. He's played at left back a few times so this should be reflected in some way (maybe 12 - 14). Crossing, finishing, dribbling, movement, teamwork, consistency, determination, natural fitness, versatility and stamina should all be increased. Acceleration, pace and strength are all too high and need brought down. For preferred moves he gets forward wherever possible, gets into opposition area and moves ball to left foot before dribble attempt.

O'Brien

A lot of stats seem low and his PA could be a bit higher.

Owen

190 PA probably too high - 185 would be better. Finishing, flair and determination seem a bit high while injury proneness should be at least 16.

Parker

PA of 165 too low and should be 170 - 175. Finishing, marking, movement, vision, positioning, anticipation, decisions, teamwork, balance, consistency and versatility should all be higher. Work rate should be 20. Leadership should come down to around 16 / 17. For preferred moves he likes to dictate play and arrive late in oppositions area.

Solano

Long shots, anticipation, flair, balance and determination are too high.

Steven Taylor

again it's too soon to say he'll get to 180. 170 - 175 would be a better guess.

I don't expect you to pay attention to all my suggestions but feel free to have a look and see what you think.

Thanks for the input on Newcastle Neil

A few points fro your suggestions. I agree with most of what you said apart from....

I increased Moore's CA to 145 i dont know who changed it back

N'Zogbia - i think 19 for pace is fine as he is pretty fast IMO.

O'Brien - What do you think his PA should be, its 140 atm, his CA is 115.

I think O'Brien's PA is fine but some of his attriutes seem a bit low. He seems to have a lot under 10.

N'Zogbia is not that fast. Pace of around 16 would be more accurate. 19 would put him up with the fastest in the world which he isn't. Plus it would probably increase to 20 with training and he's not at the very top.
