*Post Player

Currently playing for Grêmio, Maxi López started his career in 1997 with River Plate. In 2005, FC Barcelona signed him for €6.2 million following an injury to Henrik Larsson. Although he scored on his European debut, against Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League, he was not a regular in the team. He left Barcelona for Mallorca for the 2006-2007 season, on a loan, where he did not live up to the expectations, scoring only 2 goals in 25 matches. On August 16, 2007, Maxi López signed for FC Moscow after a transfer fee of €2million was agreed with FC Barcelona. On February 13, 2009, Grêmio signed Maxi, on loan. At this time, Maxi scored 11 goals for Grêmio at Campeonato Brasileiro, being currently the second top scorer of the team, just behind Jonas.

Attacking capabilities
His best attacking ability is his heading. Maxi is tall, pretty strong and also have a good jump, and due to this he can easily won against the defenders to score the header. His positioning sense and ability to bring forward the marker is also decent, though not anything special. His finishing skills aren’t bad too. He is certainly the less wastefull player of Grêmio.

Pressing the opposing defenders
Maxi is known for pressing the opposing defenders when they want to go forward with the ball. Maxi is also a very hard-working forwing, always running for all the pitch to help defense.

Dribbling abilities
Maxi tends to dribbling the defenders, with some sucess. He even scored a wonderfull goal this season using his dribbling skills, though its very situational. His good speed and balance help him to pass over the defenders much more than his dribbling ability, that isn’t anything special really, but pretty decent. If you want to compare it with someone, Kuyt is a great choice.

You look like a Internacional fan, and a very biased one.

First, this isn't how the thing works here. You have no knowledge to make Stats for this forum, so you can at most make suggestions for now.

Second, the majority of the stats/suggestions you posted are either exagerated or completely wrong.

Let's pick some of them:

Balance: 89. This is a completely overrated value, specially considering his height and weight. Maxi is strong, but far from being one of the strongest players in our league.

Top Speed: 70 and Acceleration: 75. Sorry, but do you really seen him playing? With this, you make him not only a slow player, but one of the slowest players in the whole database. And the most strange thing is that Maxi is not a slow player. Actually, he is quite fast

Response: 75. Do you really know how Response affects a player?

Dribble Accuracy: 70. Just watch his goal against Cruzeiro.

Shot Accuracy: 75. Did you read the description. He is the LESS wastefull player of the team. You can't put Jonas and Perea over him.

Free Kick Accuracy: 58. Along with the fact this is totally out of the standards, he is capable os taking free kicks, as he scored in the training.

Mentality: 75.

Condition: 5. Any reason for this?

89 on BB its because don't have on PES "obina atribute"
The 89 its because he don't fall, and can "recover ball's" or dispute on attack.

Condition 5 its for Gremio on general, in home great team, come visitants "half team".

Conditions is go 0~to 8 right? 5 is good don't?

Fk : he scored in the training... ok.. but on the game?
Old maximum on Brazilian soccer:
"Jogo é jogo, treino é treino", In training until Alecsandro scoring FK...

Do you remember ML Stats when he on La liga ? think feel less and this is ML now.
I like that player, but don't see with this "high stats".

He is 188 and 81 kg. 84 is more than enough for him. He isn't stronger than Rever or even Marcel (86).

I think you misunderstood the effect of Condition. Condition is a fitness stat. The fact Grêmio in general don't play good games regullary is more of a Consistensy stat of some players.

I know we can't consider training when make stats, and this is why a gave him 68. Otherwise, I would give him a value between 70-74. 58 is completely out of the standards.

Maxi López was crap at La Liga, but he is playing very well now. He is one of the best strikers on Brasileirão, and is the best of Grêmio.

You're simply trying to reduce his stats because they looks high, but just looks at other forwards in this database, and you'll see he isn't overrated.

Ok... that stats base on Pes Database Brazil... in this way make sense.

Mas entre nós, o gremio do database está muito overrated, e olha que acho que gremio tinha jogadores chave que não renderam o esperado esse ano como:
Lopez, Tcheco, Souza.

Because that, in the end of league I see a "downrate" n Gremio squad, for them don't make good games outside our home.

Dont think it a just "colorado" "mimimi", for me Inter go to donwrate....

But just looks at other forwards in this database, and you'll see he isn't overrated, for this I understand your option, thanks for attention.

I was like you initially, thinking that the whole database was overrated, probably because of the shit Konami stats. But after much time here I changed my mind. We here try to change stats to a way that minor teams can beat bigger teams. In the original stats, the bigger team players have much higher stats than the minor teams. While in real life, Internacional can beat Barcelona, and São Paulo can beat Liverpool. In the game this is virtually impossible with Konami stats.

About the players, I think Lopez made a good season. He scored about 12 goals at Brasileirão, and we need to consider he become injuried for a time. Souza played well too, as he is nominated for the 'Craque Brasileirão'. The problem is that they only play well at home

It seems like he had a decent season, his loan period ended but I have no idea about his feature plans...Returning to Russia or staying in the American continent ?

The idea is staying, Grêmio plans on spending to maintain him

He signed with Catania

i think he is not loaned
Catania bought him for 2.670.000 £

Has been great lately, I think he deserves an improvement.

Yes, have to agree with you

Note Vs Siena:
Able to outmuscle both Malagò and Cribari...not with ease,but not the hardest thing for him.....
Maxi Lopez 188x81[84 BB] Cribari 187x79[83 BB] Malago 184x79[82 BB].....from a view of the ladder,i could see easily Lopez in
par with Huntelaar at 85.

I could see also a point or two more in his Attack,having a look at the ATK ladder.Same thing,but maybe just only a point,for his Response. Seems a quite complete striker to me, with no great up&down in his stats. generally good,without great points of advantage.

I agree...and another value needing update is his SA, he always seems to find the right angle of the goal once shooting in the box, his shootin stats can be SA 83, SP 83, ST 81...
Other suggestion after looking at him in the last 3-4 match:

ATT 83
RES 84
AGI 81
AGGR 87

i can agree with that
