Change languageSo when you fellow managers are searching for a new player on the transfer market is your search criteria 10 balls only for the most important skill in that position or would you accept 9, or even lower?
For example, when searching for a keeper do you search for keepers with only ten balls or does 9 or even less suffice if the player has crazy other stats such as PI or Stam?
If you're looking for a striker is it a ten ball shooter only for you or less if he fulfils other criteria?
Interested to hear different thoughts and opinions on this and thought it would make for good discussion!

Re: Is it ten balls or bust for you?

9 balls keepers just aren’t worth anything. There is enough 10 ball keepers around to not settle for a 9 if you want to be competitive.
If you want to be competitive domestically and make it to the top division then 9 ball defenders/attackers are definitely still good.
If you want to win the top league domestically and challenge top teams around the world you’ll need mainly 10 ball players in their primaries.
Secondary skills are still so important though and a 9 ball tackler with high in a number of different secondary skills is always much better than a 10 tackler with not many secondaries

icabode - 16-07-2021 18:43I understand that "balance" is the word.
There is no use in a player with Shooting 10, or Tackling 10 and naked in the other attributes, this assumes that a player with fewer balls in the main attribute will be better than another with 10, but without the secondary ones.
The more complete a player is, the better he will be. It doesn't just apply to "trainable" attributes, but also to Experience.
The greater the Experience, the better the athlete's performance will be.
Of course! We're not talking about Tackling 5... Common sense always helps, eheheh! But sometimes, depending on position and tactical composition, 9, or even 8 can be interesting.
The only exception: - Keeping. This is always 10.
Well, this is my humble and simple opinion.
:D

freddemand - 19-07-2021 21:42What exactly do you mean with primary skills? Tackling, passing, heading and shooting? Running, pi, BC and crossballs (for wingers the latter is primary obviously) being secondary?

Most people consider primaries to be Keeping, Shooting and Tackling. To a winger AP and a Wing striker heading also would come into primaries in my opinion

charef - 20-07-2021 12:21Usually i go for 9 or 10 balls, no less.
And for secondary skills, it depends on position. But i don't focus on them alot.
