Theodor Gebre Selassie

Isnt he quicker?

[bitz]

Yeah he looks to be quicker than that. Also he plays more like a wing back, his current DEF seems too high and his MENT&TW need standardizing.

[MaxPower]

Feel the same after watching him at EURO, he looks faster both on and off the ball.
He's the kind of player who needs some time to reach his max pace, but he feels comfortable overlapping the opposition with pure speed ([]Darting Run?) (i.e. TS>ACC).
Definitely better in TS and DS than Rajtoral (TS 83, DS 83). Besides, Theodor's loose of pace when dribbling is minimal.
Comparing to Rajtoral, I suggest:
TS 85 or 86 (mracho, I'll let you decide on this).
DS 84.
RES to be standarized (I wouldn't go further 73, still not sure about a concrete value though).

[Fides]

Good player. His ball control isnt special for a SB, I guess it could be slightly lower then 77.

[mracho]

Thanks for the suggestions, guys.

You are definitely right that he needs an update. The thing is - how am I supposed to update anything when there are no official definitions of the "new standards"? I've been following the discussions but there were no clear outcomes or conclusions. So, at the moment I'm very unsure how I would rate any player... and I don't feel confident about making any updates at all.

Still, I'd like to react to some ideas that have been mentioned.

His defence probably is too high, yes. Mainly because of his very attacking style - as for his actual defending ability, it has always been rather impressive (in the Czech league, I mean) and he's definitely not one of those attacking fullbacks who suck at defending. That's why I'd aslo say his Response should be quite a lot above 73, even in the new standards (but as I said, I'm not too familiar with them). I also agree with the Speed suggestions, TS should be above Acc, I'm not really sure if he needs an 85/86 though... And as for his Technique, I'm not sure. His DA is surely completely deserved, it could actually even go up a little bit. Technique is something a bit different of course - but it never struck me as one of Theo's weaknesses...

[Tsakis]

Quality player.. He ripped us off at the euro(Greece) and looked. Extremely fast with and without the ball.. Really agile too and his ball control was good, I guess his def is a bit high though..

[ballack13]

I agree, definitely quicker. Looks to be around 85-86 values for ts and acceleration.

Also, he is pretty agile. I'd have him around 84.

[Alexalibur]

He can be too careless at times.

[mracho]

I guess I will try to come up with some suggestions/values at the end of the month.

[čale]

i'd say ACC is fine, TS could be a 84 at a max looking at him in the EURO's. also, he seemed quite fragile and he didn't quite justified that 79 in BB IMO.

[mracho]

I also find 85/86 exaggerated to be honest, especially for Acc. Good point about his BB too, I think I originally put it a bit higher since he only weighs 72 kg. Could be a 77 or so.

(What is the 'official' opinion now by the way? Should we consider a player's weight when rating BB? I think it definitely plays a role in PES6, not sure about the next-gen games, though.)

[čale]

it's official, H&W are NOT considered while assigning BB values.

To Werder Bremen (Damn!)

[mracho]

Fine, thanks. In that case, BB 79 does seem a bit over the top. Something like 76-77 would fit better I guess.

To Werder Bremen (Damn!)

Why "damn"? I think Werder is a very good next step in his career.

(By the way, the transfer is still subject to a medical.)

[artingei]

Should be faster, about 84 acc. and 85-87 top speed. He has a bad positional play (response to 74?!) and trying to make it up with his high stamina, should be around 88. (He´s running the line upside down like crazy).
Should also get the card Darting Run P04.

[Hayame]

I didn´t see him often enough to judge about him, so i´m for waiting until he played more games at Bremen.

[mr.Boss]

WTF he need an update he is very quicker,TS should be 85-86,ACC 84DS 83-84,ATT 71.

[Malakayi]

I agree with a higher TS and maybe DS to 83/84 while I don't think he needs a raise in ATT. About ACC, 1 point higher to 83 should be enough.
Additionally I'd like to lower both Gebre Selassie's RES and MENT from 78 to 74/75, he isn't the fastest to react which often causes trouble while defending, also he is anything but a player with a strong resolve in all aspects of life.

[mr.Boss]

OK
