I think HEA 86-88... he's so good with it he's scoring a lot of goals...

I agree.... his heading can be high 80s atleast... this season he was absolutely dominant in the air scoring vital goals...

Also agree
His heading abilities are one of the best of Serie A.

I appreciate the enthusiasm in this thread as I am a Fiorentina fan. With a value of the High...here is how he compares with other Serie A CFs in header. And most of them are less accurate on goal, but use it more in passing and winning balls.

Trezuguet: 94
Cruz: 87
Amauri: 86
Corradi: 86
Denis: 86
Crespo: 86
Pippo: 85
Bogdani: 85
Adriano: 84
S. Inzahhi: 84
Stellone: 84
Bianchi: 83
Amoruso: 83 (most similar in heading style to Gilardinho)
Jeffe: 83
Borreillo: 83
Iaquinta: 82
Ibra: 82
Baptista: 82
Spinesi: 82
Rocchi: 81
Zalyeta: 81
Tiribocchi: 80

He is currently at an 84. Looking at this make shift ladder....what value would fit him best?

i think that he could be at Amauri's level (86)

I think that it's not out of place on 88, or even 89... he's actually better of all of them (except treze) with raw heading ability... of course arriving to do the header (BB and JMP) it's another issue and i also feel he's at least 1-2 point above amauri (which is the one i know better)

well u gotta define "raw heading ability" do u mean "goalscoring" or "passing" with it? 'cause while gilardino is better a scoring with headers (than amauri) I think that amauri is a lot better at passing.. and when I combine those too thingys I think they should both sit on 86

the thing is... that passing usually is made with pressure by others, thus BB comes in... of course in scoring too this is true, but using ATK you can evade defenders with experience and create more good chances and he has GOOD attack

yes as u said.. he has a very good attack, but that's the point.. he already positions himself so good that he doesn't make any super-headers... u know what I mean? he's very good at heading no doubt, but I think we look a little bit too much on his scoring record with his head.. i mean if u position yourself better than the most defenders than u have free space and can likely chose how u want to score ..

I think that 87-88 would suit him fine

yeah, that is right... but the thing that impresses me is HOW these goals are made... one excellent example is his last goal yesterday against steaua ^^

well haven't seen his goal against steaua.. i watched bayern-lyon and still have to watch the recaps for the other matches.. but anyways.. I'm sticking with my 86 for header, 'cause he already has 88 for attack.. if anything than i think his attack could go up to 89 or even higher after this season, 'cause imo gilardinos positioning is pure class :/

This is what it looks like....
Suggestion Recap:
Header: 87-88(defrenz)(pmc)(nico)(bret) 86(ravlee)(spinal)
attk: 89(ravlee)(spinal)(hitman)

I unfortunitely can't agree or disagree with the heading stat. I use Fiorentina in the game, and I have no problem with his ability to get his headers on target. But in looking at the ladder I feel a boost to 86 wouldn't be unreasonable. I do agree with his attack going up. Not sure how high....but I believe his attacking ability is world class. Hopefully he can stay at his current form. If it weren't for some bad years at Milan, I'd probably suggest some "godly" numbers for attack.

i'm not for header 87/88 - i'm for header 86 + ATT 89 and maybe after this season >90, since he already had 90 once b4 on the old forum..

I agree with you ravlee

7 points difference between Gilardino's header and Toni's I'm not a Gilardino fan at all, but hey, his header seems to be his main asset so I agree with high 80's for his header

Updated Header to 87

Is there still more discussion on his attack value?

agree with attack 89 for now..hes in form, but well see how he performs when season continues..

i agree with attack 89 (for now), Gila is back!
