We have talked about this attribute before but im still confused.
from patch notes;
- Made composed defenders turn on ball before clearing if possible
- Improvements to players decisions on whether to clear ball under pressure.
- Changed pass risk assessment to reflect mentality setting and flair a little more.

Im talking about defenders and the ability to pass out of trouble when under pressure.
How important is composure for defenders ?
We have to set the workload slider on medium in shooting just to maintain it(finishing, longshot and composure). But shouldnt it be a mental attribute, just like bravery and aggression ? maybe even consistancy - which go up over the years, either by CA increase or the number of games a player have during a season.

When I look at matches, even players with a low value( gattuso 7) in composure will play the ball short to another player under pressure. And Nesta, who got 19 composure, often just hoof the ball forward under pressure - maybe its becourse I have hes mentality on 5 and 5 creative freedom( play safe, no risks).
Like the patch notes indicate; mentality and flair reflect a players pass risk assessment..(nesta also got 6 flair btw).
So is decisions, flair and high mentality vital under pressure ?

very interesting, but to tell you the truth I don't know. of course they are and so is creative freedom as a player shouldn't take risk if it's low. also creativity should influence players under pressure.

Composure is the most vital stat for being under pressure. Its the stat that determines how calm he'll stay.

Do you got any evidence or can you prove it with some pkm's ?
Becourse like I wrote before, I dont see any difference between gattuso and nesta under pressure

you're right. I don't know why it is shooting atribute. it's smth player has/hasn't got. I don't think you can train composure.

Im running some test now with both DC's and FB's on 1 composure . First match I didnt notice anything - they all played just as they always has done( short passing around even when there is an attacker closing down), but ok.. since we dominated all 90 min with 63% possession and won 0-3, there wasnt really alot of sitiuation where my defender was under pressure...
Next match is vs juventus at home, maybe they will pressure my backline alot more brb

I know what Composure is by Definition(: a calmness or repose especially of mind, bearing, or appearance )
But that doesnt meen SI have made the match engine correct so we can see it

retired_elpata

When looking for composure its hard to look for. What you need to look for is mistakes the player makes when being closed down or marked.

Or for attackers how calm then stay when in 1v1's or in a scoring opportunity.

So would a DM or MCd getting caught in possession be down to composure? Or is that because of lack of passing options?
