I know I made suggestions on the previous site, but I don't remember what. I'd like to see if Anis is familiar with this player

Here is what I saw from him in the dortmund match:
He seemed to track back a good amount, to where they were referring to him as a WB....which he clearly wasn't playing He did cover a lot of ground though. I thought he wasn't very responsive. He had solid first touches. He took some fk & ck, none with really good quality. They tended to go high and were very slow. He was only taking them so Marin didn't have to run across the field. Seemed to have the tendency to dribble, and try to beat people off of the dribble. He was totally contained by Y.P. Lee, and couldn't out pace him(82TS).

RWF 40 Matmour - RWB?/-Res/solid tech/had to cover a lot of ground/poor&ave fk pass/*dribble/not faster than Lee/-LPS/in accurate pass in counteratk/

Here are the stats I feel might need to get a look at:

Defence: 41
Stamina: 79
Top Speed: 84
Long Pass Acc.: 72
Mentality: 75

I might suggest Def in the 50's, Stamina of 80-82, TS 82 tops, LPA could go up a bit...they FKs were just slow and high. Mentality working with DEF & Stamina should be adjusted to show that he tracks back and can cover a lot of ground

Since when does Matmour deserve a middle shooting star?

[zebastian]

Add SM and maybe only right side.

Yes I am quite familiar with him.

He is a hell of a player now and secured a starting position with his NT.

Stamina : 82 Agree with you on this.
Response: 79 Sleepy at times but usually very responsive.
Agility : 84 Very nimble and quick at changing directions and spinning.
Dribble Accuracy: 84
Technique : 83 Could be higher but I'd stick to it for now.

Short Pass Accuracy: 73 (+1)
Short Pass Speed: 74 (+1)
Long Pass Speed: 73 (+1)

He is quite good when it comes to shoot from outside the box but no MS star. He is actually good enough to score from distance with his weak foot while maintaining a lot of accuracy and power :

I'd just raise his shooting values a bit and raise his weak foot accuracy and frequency:

Shot Accuracy: 75
Shot Power: 82
Shot Technique: 74

maybe only right side.

I don't know. He starts all his games at the right side but he moves to the left side (exchange) at times to lose his marker and destabilize the defense.

i think Response is a little overrated with 79. 77 suits him better. Also his Long Passes can get a little update they aren´t so bad. Also for me his Defence can go down. He isn´t the player who often tracks back.

Defence:48
Response: 77
Long Pass Accuracy: 75
Long Pass Speed: 76

[Hayame]

He need some decreases. I think his DA and his Technique are overrated. He really isn´t in such a high class in dribbling.
His Speed stats can go up one or two points. He is really fast. Also we maybe can add Super-Sub. He often scored the Lucky-Punch in the last minutes after he get in.

Add Super-Sub

Top Speed: 85
Acceleration: 86
Dribble Accuracy: 79
Technique: 81
Teamwork: 74

[Hayame]

Passing Skills are to generous with the new standards.

Short Pass Accuracy: 71
Short Pass Speed: 72
Long Pass Accuracy: 73
Long Pass Speed: 74
Free Kick Accuracy: 65
Curling: 71

is he that unintelligent in ATT nowdays ? didn't see him for a while now .

[Hayame]

For me he didn´t showed any good game the last years at Frankfurt. He mostly was a sub and scored sometimes but often with much luck. He often lose balls because of dribblings or really bad passing. I see him also more as a SMF and quite undangerous in front of the goal. So all in all I think Attack 76 suits him quite well.

[midnight]

Thanks for the explanations , can't disagree with it . Obviously He's lost his quality , when he was at gladbach he was quite good technically , anyway i hope he gets better soon enough.

[Malakayi]

Let's just say he's a great 2nd league player but nothing more.

[midnight]

Pls a little respect , he was great two years ago , a real fighter back then.

[Malakayi]

well, football is a fast moving business, nobody cares about what you did yesterday if you suck a today's match

[Hayame]

Gave him an overall update. Since he play as CF for Frankfurt he showed a bit more his real skill. And thats his Response in combination with his Speed. He is good at reacting in the box and he often gets the ball before the defender. On the other side I decreased his passing, shooting and Technique a bit.
