Diego Costa

Full Name: Diego da Silva Costa

I think he needs a couple of points increase in Top Speed and maybe lower his teamwork. He rarely looks for a pass to a teammate.

Teamwork doesn't regulate that.

[Supreme_One]

Higher tenacity for fighting 90 mins long. Higher place kicking maybe he scored already this season à couple of penalty goals.

He scored two penalty kicks in the same match against Sevilla for Copa del Rey. I think Penalties has to be added in special abbilities.

First of all, welcome to the forum, mate.

Special abilities such as Penalties, 1-1 Scoring and Scoring aren't added to a player taking in consideration one match, half season and even sometimes a full season. A player should constantly display during seasons those abilities to get the star or card.

I'm enjoying his heading abilities myself, quite good really and he tries some that he fails but still seem like he will hit 'em soon.

What are your suggestions?

I do think his TS could even be higher...been staring at his speed and he can definitely reach some pretty 86 often. And I'm pretty sure that he's quite a few points higher attack wise also.

[Korinov]

Agree and agree, he's become a really dangerous striker, good movements upfront, his work as a dummy runner is excellent. Also AGI is probably a low yellow at least... he's quite nimble and has no issues when moving his big body around, that move yesterday in his goal... he completely broke Botía.

[Xyder]

86 TS would be good, if anybody saw the match against RCDE, his great speed provoked some yellow cards and the penalty.
Of course, when Falcao is on the field, is the colombian who throws the penalties, so not need for penalties for my taste.
Agree on ATT upgrade and his MENT could reach yellows, the pity is he looses his nerves quite often and is a (spanish odd word) "marrullero" (something like a troublemaker).

[Korinov]

Ment is hard to rate. On one hand he's certainly a tenacious guy. The thing is... he's also a blatant trash talker, always provoking and haunting the defenders, the problem comes when he's the one in the receiving end, he doesn't really cope with it well and tends to lose it. So I'd leave Ment as it is, at least for now... other than that, I'm updating TS (86), ATT (86) and AGI (80).

[Fixer]

He's even better than 86 Attack. He's hardly ever not a threat in anything he does, he's just too damn dangerous not to have an even higher value than that really.

[Korinov]

Can't really disagree. What value do you have in mind? I don't find him a very intelligent player but it's true that he's become incredibly dangerous and right now I'd even say defenders fear him more than Falcao.

[Fixer]

He's too extremely dangerous really, I thought most people would agree with a 88 at first, but even higher is not out of place.

Wasn't that a trait of many highly-rated MENT players? Materazzi, Gattuso, Chilavert, Roy Keane, Terry, and many others. Not that all aforementioned players were provokers or dirty children of the streets, but they lose it quite a lot. Yet, some get medium yellows or highest reds. I never kept a good eye on Diego Costa so I can't give an opinion on if he deserves higher or not, I'm just saying that all that crap some players do shouldn't ultimately decide what current value one player deserves. If he ups his game when the team needs him most, he should have good MENT. Just my opinion about this.

I hate this player. He provoque and faint many aggressions...

Anyway, hes 1,87 or 1.88 cm.

He probably deserves more Top Speed, this season showed a tremendous form, performing races of a very high speed.
I would also increase tenacuty to 80. Very corageous player.

[Fixer]

He does cover a lot of ground when running at max speed. Perhaps 87? That'd be the max I'd give him though.
