Short Expo's:
I really can't stress out how happy i am with how this set works in-game (on PES 2012, PS2), i'd dare to say probably one of the best sets i've done recently!
Not much to say, one of the best, if not the best young striker in Italy at the moment. Strong, seriously fast, finishing skills which many Serie A strikers can only dream about, great positional play and AWESOME runs behind the opposition backline!
Definitely deserves such a high attack rating given his positional play and general intelligence and understanding of the attacking flow and his 0,53 goal average per game this season just shows how dangerous he is.
I found him a bit too strong with the previous 83 value for BB so i cut it down a bit, nothing serious but just to make him strong enough to endure the first few opposition lunges.
Stamina at 79 is more than enough (coupled with MENT 78), i've let the AI play at least 15 matches between themselves and in only a few of those matches he's entered the red zone in STA and in none of the matches has he ever depleted the whole stamina bar.
IMO his dribbling skills aren't anything impressive, he can keep good pace on the ball on distances but his control while sprinting is quite questionable and he takes a lot of heavy touches from time to time, far to inconsistent to deserve anything higher.
Anything higher on his passing stats and he's starting to spray around passes like he's Riquelme, really not necessary nor important to his game style. Also tried every possible combo of SPA/S with TW and until i dropped them massively he didn't stopped passing around, which was quite irritating 'cause his first priority is to attack the line, which he has rarely done with that TW and Passing stats.
EDIT: *Positioning is optional because of the "new" influence it has on a players game i've found out:

"Improves positioning when receiving passes and crosses." --> Description changed completely, and player behaves differently than in prior versions of the game. The Positioning star from prior versions of the game has enhanced a players positional sense while in the box. The "new" version of Positioning makes a player come a bit backwards (withdraws a bit from the defensive line) to receive a pass when he's not in the box (useful for Target Men) and enhances the players ability to make himself open for a pass thus removing the reason to increase a players TW stat to prevent him from passing the ball too much as a forward. The behaviour in the box remains the same as in prior versions of the game. Also when a player who has a Marauding (in a lesser degree and success rate is lower) and/or Line Breaker gains a tendency to come a bit deeper to receive a pass and play a "one-two" pass with a player nearby and then attack the defensive line with an aggressive run.
i found it quite sweet how he plays those "one-two's" and then aggressively attacks the backline with a vicious run, he creates sooo many chances that way it a delight to watch!
