*LT? - he doesn't do it often, but he probably gets more distance on them than Litchsteiner

[jmg721]

Also being discussed is the raise of his SP by 1 or2

Raise in SP is reasonable + I would consider lowering his FKA for a few points. I mean, his SP is high and Curling too, but FKA is not. Imo, it should be under 80 > 78 or 79 ?

[Uzair]

yep. his shot power should be raised by 3. 93 would put him a point above ibra which looks about right.

[Rfuna]

upped SP and mentality, lowered FK

[jmg721]

Why did you raise his Mentality? Isn't that one of his weaknesses. He is very much a finese player, but he did play hard vs. Inter. But generally I'd say he was fine the way he was...maybe 75

My reasoning is I would like to see a general increase in this stat for all SBs. He looks disinterested in times, perhaps clueless as to what he should be doing (get back and defend, you dummy) but his full length of the field running to join the attack (although infrequent) to me deserved a slight bump. Perhaps 75 is a better number and instead stamina should get upped.

One of the main reasons he is not in NT is his "moving" ability. I must agree with jmg721 on that, he should stay @75. Also, I agree with Rfuna mentoned raise in Stamina. From what I saw of him so far, he does look fit and prepared

[jmg721]

75 ment is better IMO

Did anyone else see his 38m FK attempt. Cesar actually had to deflect it out of play. I was trying to duplicate it on PES last night Also, I noticed he was actually beating guys while on the ball. He is pretty nimble with the ball at his feel. He may have been beating them more with his TS & DS....but wasn't expecting his DA or AGI to look that good

Notes from old Genoa match:
LB 3 Kolarov - under no pressure very poor SPA/took a LFK shot into a bunch of people/70m long pass assist/playing a really solid game defensively/

Notes from old Juve match:
LB 3 Kolarov - his fast spass assist/goal from distance off a deflection/

Here is a good clip of my example of his movement on the ball....never saw this goal


Another good recent clip showing his ball skills:

[coolactive]

Kolarov's dribblings were always based on his speed - outrun the opponent. Good remarks and very nice videos. This one from Lecce game is one of my favorites. - although i still think he tried to cross

[Rfuna]

updated mentality, stamina, DS, and DA

[jmg721]

His Long Passing Acc. is very inconsistent...not bad...but inconsistent. He can make the best looking passes, and then will kick it into the side net on a CK the next play. Not saying to change these stats...just an observation.

[Vandeach]

I'm shocked to see SPS so low, the pace he gets whilst passing is immense, better than most midfielders! I would've put it at nearer a mid-80 value.

Haven't been looking as closely in recent games, but will look into it. I have noticed that he has grown more confident in the SB role, makeing forward runs as routinely as possible, and then dashing back into position as soon as possession is lost. Any thoughts on mentality and aggression.

[Vandeach]

Well he is an attacking full-back, so his aggression should probably be a low 80, no strong opinion on mentality but I would say roughly a high green with a high defense arrow, allowing him to track back but not charge down players too much. Again balance looks a bit low especially considering his game is very much revolved around his power.

Well I though the81 BB in tandem with his weight (83kgs) was sufficient enough. Let me play with some numbers before suggesting anything.

[jmg721]

I felt in making stats for Ledesma that Kolarov would have had higher balance. Because I think he is stronger than Ledesma, and then I noticed his size advantage...so I definitely feel like this is a case of trial

For SPS....I don't know why this keeps coming up in Lazio threads...but again, he does rely on his Passing Speed more than his accuracy. But if we raise his SPS....we need to lower his SPA. He isn't a good consistent Short Passer. Probably one of his biggest weaknesses. If you put his SPS in the mid-80's...then his SPA has to go in the low 60's

Keep in mind when addressing Agg/Ment....that Att/Def is also important. He has a much higher attack...so he will already favor the attack. I know in recent weeks he has been more attacking...but I don't want to go overboard with aggression and mentality....but if we raise his aggression a lot, we need to raise his mentality, or he will never get back into the back 4.

I have mentality @77 and Aggression @ 82 with an attacing arrow on my OF. So far so good. I'm not sure BB needs to go up anymore. I keep hearing his strong but I think he's just solid. Maicon strikes me as the stronger runner, and he's lighter (77 kgs)with 84 BB, which is perfect IMO. So Kolarov @ 83 kgs and 81 for BB looks okay to me.

[jmg721]

IMO he looks stronger than he plays...if that makes sense
