little display of his ability to stay up to challenges there.

I know the reasoning behind his high teamwork... but for a player who spends most of his time dribbling and dwelling on the ball to open up play, it's just too high.

[Alexalibur]

He pretty much balances between individuality and teamwork. You're right I thing his TW is just too much.

[Mr. Evans]

Agree with what has been said. Something like BAL: 76 & TW 88?

[Korinov]

Considering Messi sits at 82 BB... well, Silva and Messi have the same weight (although Silva is a bit taller), and while Messi's balance is obviously better than Silva's (stronger, more powerful legs and also a bit more muscular complexion) I don't think there should be a 6 or 7-point gap between the two. We have Muniain currently at 78 too, so 78 should be minimum for Silva IMO, his balance is pretty good after all. It's not like he'll turn into any kind of 'tank' ingame with a high green value anyway. I'd even put him over Muniain's current value, at 79 (Muniain could even sit higher).

[Mr. Evans]

It's not that he'll turn a tank in game but you underestimate the influence of AGI and DA on balance in game, two areas in which he is rated highly. But I think you're right, a 76 would probably still too low. 77/78 for me.

75 This balance is weak and suggested that the balance will be 79 I think that's appropriate for Silva and suggested
Short Pass Accuracy: 90

[CHarper]

I suggested:
BB:77

[bssm]

I think he is a candidate for Tech = 94, seriously can't remember the last time he has even remotely messed up trapping the ball or his first touch. Even though a lot of what RVP tries is more difficult i have seen him mess up more then Silva, probably just as consistent as Iniesta for a good year and half.

[Mr. Evans]

Agree with TECH 94.

[CHarper]

Mr. Evans, sorry, what happened with the increase in BB? .. came to an agreement?, I was watching his alternative set of skills and I think is very goodit would be nice to update your skill set.

[CR7]

His WF stats need to go down to Valencia-esque lows. He's all left foot all the time.

[jurgens]

Updated with Mr. Evans set. Not sure on that 91 SPA myself, would like to discuss it. Left agility untouched aswell for now. Would like to discuss that too. I can't really see him that below Iniesta, I see him basically as equal. Espeically considering high lower da/ds. Thoughts?

ANDRES INIESTA:

DAVID SILVA:

they have many similarities
the resemblance is undeniable

both sets must have many similarities.
maybe DA-94/95---TW-89/90 AGG--79/80
those are my suggestions
let us be clear that Iniesta is a step up from Silva.
however, Silva could become your ideal partner

Mod Edit: Don't double post.

Hmmm, well 94 DA is could agree on, 1 below RVP seems ok, but a red value would certainly be too much.
He does not need such a high teamwork value as he does a fair amount of individual play too, 86 is fine imo.
Aggression could drop to 81.

Jurgens, as for 91 SPA, I would say this, he is worthy of the value as his short passing is magnificent, but does he need the value due to the amount of dribbling he does too? He is not a playmaker like Xavi and imo does not need a SPA higher than Iniesta. 89-90 would be fine for now until he changes his style of play imo.

[CHarper]

one more video where we can see the similarities of both players
enjoy it

[FernandoA13]

Why does he have 87 for ATT? Not criticizing, just wondering.

[tasmin]

tbh 87 is a bit too much

[FernandoA13]

tbh 87 is a bit too much

That was my first reaction too. But it is so high that i got curious.

[bssm]

I think he needs at least+1 on his DA, his close control is just as good as Xavi(95),the dribble he did today just one example against Newcastle man marked by 3 players and still turned his way out of it due to close control he displays this on a regular basis

[jurgens]

gotta agree
