City sign two crocks in Balo and Kolarov, its such a pity too, they're two of the more exciting signings of theirs of which I'd hoped to have seen more of.

Well, that was bad luck. In the meantime, lets watch his goals :



and a knock-out

lol did you notice Abate in the 21-22 second,he's like:,,Wow dude did you saw that?Ouch xD ''

As I never watched him week in week out at Lazio I'm struggling to nail what his Free Kick style is, can anyone from Italy help? I've seen him take them like Roberto Carlos from range but I've also seen him take them in a 'normal' way. Obviously you can only have one or the other in PES so which style should I use?

[Dane94]

Style 8 definetly.

[lfc 4 eva]

Yeah the juninho/pirlo one I think it is.

[Gugu]

Style 8's the one

I was going to comment on LPA/LPS but seeing that LPA sits perfectly on 80(what I had in my mind), despite of him misplacing the ball often, so I'll comment about his LPS which IMO, needs a boost by 2 points.

Now the fact that he misplaces most of his crosses is because when he runs with the ball at his feet and has to make an instant cross he doesn't have that clean and calm way to kick the ball so he hits it with lots of pace and curl, also in the majority of times he just aims to the box. But at corner kicks he seemed a bit better at aiming for a teammate, but he puts a bit less pace and curl on the ball, in my opinion he deserves 87 from what I've seen of his crosses from the left flank, on the other hand I'm not so sure about corner kick situations.. Thoughts??

[Dane94]

I agreeeee

[Fevernova]

today he proved his curl is over the average, I don't know if a plain 85 suggests that...to be honest

[Dane94]

OMG what a free kick.

[Jez]

I've always classed 85 as a very, very good curling value personally. I guess it may come accross slightly differently on different platforms of the game though so

[Paddy]

Its a skill to strike a ball with that much pace and curl, seriously, you can practice for hours but its hard to get it consistently as him, I know it may seem a bit rash, but I really couldn't see him being lower in FKA than Ronaldo.

Also, I'm not going to agree with the inclusion of the Speed Merchant card.

[Dane94]

Shouldn't he have higher BB and posibly Darting/Overlaping Run?

I think he will prove himself till the end of the season that he deserves red value in SP.

[Paddy]

He hasn't proven yet he's worthy of anything over 93.

[Jez]

I've actually just seen the freekick and I'm shocked about the call for higher curling, it didn't curl that much. Neal Eardley's last minute Freekick which hit the woodwok curled more than Kolarovs effort and he's rated at a 72.

[Paddy]

Talking about Neal Eardley, he's got a quality free kick.

Kolarov uses curling very rarely when he perform FKs and I am talking about shots at goal. When it comes to corners or sidekicks into the box, he tries to bend the ball. I guess that his powerful left foot is hard to control and his performances can be treated like the ones of Roberto Carlos ( cliche maybe but closest match ). In other words, I would not go overboard with curl raising. If we could only have something like Long Pass Curling , we could rate him more precisely...

[Recoba]

Top Speed : 83
Accel : 81
Long Pass Speed : 91
Shot Powr : 97 (best strong point of him)

[MasterMilan]

His SA maybe to 75 ? He doesn't shot a lot like strikers, but most of his shots was with solid precision. And also FKA can go up few points to 82-83? Rest of stats seems fine for now, SP 93 is high enough.
