Great game of Nico Gaitan against Nacional

[Tellmo]

Nico Gaitán against Académica de Coimbra

Is playing better than ever. Seems to me that finally matured...

[canhoto27]

i m wondering if Gaitan not deserv more 2 points in teamwork and response, for sure he is more mature and works more for the team , also he answer very fast in first metters

[FernandoA13]

Couple things i would like to mention. First of all great game tonight, wonderful exually. His LPA today was just great. Showed some 87-88 accuracy. And again his DA was just wow. IMO we should decrease his TS to 80 maybe even 79. His great DA and EP makes him look faster then he is. But he just dribbles great, maybe 79 is to harsh but i dont think he is worth 82 in TS. DS on the other hand looks like a 87.

[Tellmo]

His great DA and EP makes him look faster then he is.

I totally agree i that.

[JMVP]

I also agree we can decrease TS to 80.

PS. I think response can also be raised to 80 he does put pressure on oposition and so, not a hard worker but he's not lazy either.

[FernandoA13]

Okay, anyother suggestions anybody? then i'll update.

[Tellmo]

then i'll update.

Do it.

Form: 6? Good shape

Note: 4th season with the sweater of Benfica, 40 assists (only in official matches).

Sweet Skill

[Tellmo]

Great game today. Excellent shape, is living your best year by far. Form 6.
Brilliant long passes (it's incredible, he did not need to look at the area of ​​goal to make excellent crosses!).
Agility very good, very fast movements, there are times when he seems to deserve orange numbers...
Runs much! His Stamina must be at least 82.
In this game proved once again that the theory of Fernando is correct: your DS is very good, certainly deserves the 87, but his TS is clearly inferior, Salvio is faster and stronger in search of the ball, the difference in TS can never be only of 1 value. Reminds me very much to Nolito...

[FernandoA13]

Made an update tell me what you guys think of it.

[JMVP]

I don't know exactly what you changed, but he's too inconsistent in his crosses to deserve 87.

[FernandoA13]

TS 80, EP 89, DS 87, and yeah raised his LPA to 87 and LPS to 82, do you agree on 86 then?

[Tellmo]

(...) but he's too inconsistent (...)

I disagree.

[JMVP]

On Gaintan being inconsistent? If he played always at his best he would be like the undisputed top player of the team, he's the most skilled player but also one of the most inconsistent. Benchmarking him with Simão, i still think Simão was the better crosser,

[Tellmo]

Previously he was (indisputable)! Currently no. Every game that make, him become more consistent (attention, I never missed one game of Benfica).
As to that Gaitan lose only to Enzo Perez, Garay and Luisão (last months ).

Spoiler: show

Consistency level (1-10):
Enzo Perez - 6.9
Garay - 6.5
Luisão - 6
Gaitan - 5.9
Cardozo - 5.9
Artur - 5.8
Maxi Pereira - 5.8
André Almeida - 5.7
Fejsa - 5.7
Ruben Amorim - 5.6
Silvio - 5.5
Matic - 5.4
Lima - 5.4
Markovic - 5.1
Cortez -5
Djuricic - 4.5
Rodrigo - 4
Ola John - 3.8

Other players without personal opinion (very few minutes / injured / reserve):
Oblak (positive way), Paulo Lopes, Jardel, Steven, Smith, Sulejmani, Salvio (was in great shape), André Gomes ...

Warning, this is just a personal list.

[FernandoA13]

Just a note, i didn't raise his LPA to 87 just because of his crosses. He has been giving a few nice long range passes aswel (pin point passes). But i will let the people who watch him more decide.
