[nico90]

don't you think that stats like these are a bit harsh even if he's a defender? they seem under the standards...


Shot Accuracy: 60
Shot Power: 76
Shot Technique: 58
Free Kick Accuracy: 55

[Alex_10]

indeed true, but i have nothing to propose except for SP to at least 81/82.. about the other Stats, maybe put them "in Standard" could be a starting point..

[Rfuna]

making the following updates:

TS @ 84
SPS @ 75
LPA @ 73
SA @ 64
SP @ 82
ST @ 64
FKA @ 62
Header @ 80 - his tech is so-so (he heads with the top of his head rather than the top of the forehead as he ought, but gets good distance on his clearances.

thoughts?

was, but come to think of it, 85 looks appropriate. check out the vids.

Suazo OBS is about 80,5 ....Mutu is 76 and something.....id be very carefully in giving such high values of speeds at defenders...

why do only defenders deserve such treatment? because they are in the back 4 they deserves slow speed? in anycase, santacroce isn't a typical serie a defenders, not at all. In anycase, watch the vid vs Inter at 0.10 seconds where he's chasing after balotelli... what TS is that? nd how do you calculate on-the-ball-speed... Mutu at only 76? Even still, how many forwards on the ball do you see out run Santacroce?

[Alex_10]

just a thing, JUMP could go higher a pair of points (85) without problem imo, expecially taking in account his lack of size and BB.. in open space his leaps are really high

[zuo]

just to make things clear......the two matches in highligths are surely in his top 5 games this season....

for the jump im on 84 max,in par with youngsters of similar size like pazzini or bocchetti.
also i suggest AGG @68,he's a little more prone to go out of his line, at 68 there are silvestre,biava,kroldrup...it's still a safe value for him.

His header imo is too high.he's generally not elegant and impulsive in heading,and not precise too.
at header 80 are cordoba,terzi,felipe.....youngsters like santacroce are (bocchetti [78],kjaer[77])
without generating problems i put santacroce @ 79 in par with Bonera and Manfredini.(maybe the value is still high.)

who gave him that HIGH agi value? he's an irruent and not precise tackler....go down at least to 78,if we are considering that he's capable to turn decently.

Aggression: 68
Agility:78
Header: 79
Jump: 84

I'm on the fence about header. I agree his header technique is poor (hits the ball with the top his head rather than with the top of his forehead) but he can head the ball clear of defense quite effectively. If there are more agrees I will lower but its a minimal difference. Agility originally was 77/78 but you have to agree he's more agile than say Accardi for example and much more agile than Burdisso (77). His turning is good and body movement, thats why he can execute his tackles so well despite his average defence.

[Paddy]

Considering his height do you not think his jump could be a bit higher.


thats a challenge he had with Toni Kroos who is 182cm and he gets a good amount of height above him.

[jmg721]

the good ole picture evidence. Can his jump possibly be higher than 83...possibly. But as you know Paddy this pic shows us nothing because we can't see their legs or its also possible Kroos is on his way down or didn't jump his highest.

[Paddy]

This is true Jason, but I couldn't find any videos to show his jumping ability.. I guess to show his ability the best way to do so is by pictures if we have nothing else.

[zuo]

tonight unable to pull away milito even with "rough" manners(milito currently on +2 cms,+6 kgs,+2 BB) ....his BB shouldnt be touched or is even lower.

[zuo]

He's too,a lot more if we count that he's a defender and he's a lot less tackled than a midfielder or a striker,
gone on an almost 'Injury C' level for this year.
