In two years he changed a lot... anyway he is average technically now and in the last 2-3 seasons.

I take ur word for that, when he left Benfica he was one of the best in the world now he's nobody. But in my ratings 81 for technique in a SB is way above average, it is average for a brazilian SB. He's better tha sergio ramos, same has zambrotta, 3pts below Dani Alves. I'd go for a 78, would u say he improved his technique with the years?

He doesn't deserve Early Cross or 85 for shot power, and his WFF should probably be 4. His BB could come down to 79 as well, he used to be a real fighter now he is more careless.

[Xyder]

Further to this, I don't think his ment is on 78, 74/75 is more propper to him.

[Fixer]

I think so too. I think he'd deserve 75 better. Even tough he does not care shit on the field he can even show some character. More than you could expect from a player (person, better) like him.

[JMVP]

He needs a full update, he's been shitty for the last couple years

[Fixer]

What do you suggest? Speed, LPA, Condition, DA? To me these could use a tweak.

[JMVP]

I just noticed he has condition 7 .

Attack: 73
Defence: 65
Balance: 78 - Miguel used to fight and commit is share of fouls, now he just doesn't fight. At the moment i don't think he heserves to be ahead Coentrão or Ashley Cole.
Stamina: 84 - i'm proposing 84 but maybe it could be lower, he hasn't done much running when i see him.
Top Speed: 82
Acceleration: 82 - he can still be fast, the problem is not being fast during the whole game. Honestly i don't rate him slower than capdevila, but like i said in his thread i think that's more of a situation were Capdevila is overrated. If so his speed could come further down, but he's not what i call a slow player yet.
Response: 77 - his reading of the game was never his strong point, he never deserved an 80.
Agility: 82
Dribble Accuracy: 79 - this was one of his strong points but now he doesn't even attempt dribbling, although his control is still above average.
Dribble Speed: 80
Short Pass Accuracy: 73
Short Pass Speed: 74
Long Pass Accuracy: ? - It has always been one of his flaws, he was always a terrible crosser, usually he prefers to play it on the ground.

Shot Accuracy: 68
Shot Power: 83 - he was never a hard shooter to deserve this value. He has to be lower than Mathieu.
Shot Technique: 68

Curling: 70 - we're talking about a player who can't bend a cross. With 70 he will still be able to bend them, more than irl.
Header: 70 - his headers are just for defending, never saw him score or doing anything with his head other than clearing (poorly i may add) a ball.
Jump: 82
Technique: 81
Aggression: 78 - he seems to lost his will to charge foward, but since this is a stat that needs regular watching of the player i'm not absolutly sure. Maybe against weaker teams he charges up more but from what i've seen he has done little to support his team in attack.
Mentality: 74 - basically wandering around like it's a single vs married game.
Keeper Skills: 50
Team Work: 78

Condition/Fitness: 5


P09 - Early Cross - No, no way. He might cross from the back now and then to avoid running but not often enough to warrant the card.

[amenita]

look very good your suggestions JMVP

[Fixer]

I think LPA could be 73-74. He's awful. But I can see his LPS at 80. To me the rest of your suggestions seem OK, I agree.

[JMVP]

LPA 73 seems fine to me, considering he's a SB and SB's should know how to deliver a cross that has always been one of his flaws, his crosses are usually too low or overhit. But what really lacks in his crossing, more than direction, is swerve, he just doesn't try curve the ball!
As for my other suggestions consider the post was written in a rush so the values who haven't got a comment after them are not necessarily what i think they should be, so other opinions are more than welcome.

[Fixer]

In fact he's pretty much worth those values. About stamina 84 Is fine. He can easily stand the whole match as he doesn't really run at all like you say but If he ever saw a whiskey bottle in the other side of the field he wouldn't really get that tired to deserve less.

[brazilianpesfan]

downgraded him

[JuLiTo]

Really is so poor its stamina? I think that 84 is bit

[Diego]

Could do with lower res, like 75 or probably greys.

Not that sure on this one anymore as it's been I while since I watched him, and surprised me (for his standarts) defensivily, for a thought, konami rates his tw on 70's, you get the idea of why.. he can be such a liability, but as i said, not sure, would appreciate to hear thoughts about it.

[Fixer]

Damnit thinking how world class he can be sometimes I'd really upgrade his whole set and give him 1 condition. In understand why he was downgraded so much, but these are way too average imo

[Diego]

[Korinov]

In an overall sense he's better than this... his great problem is his attitude and frequent dips in form. Agree with giving him a revamp plus Condition 3.
