Bullying - When Attributes and Stats Are For Decoration!

When you talk about bullying, obviously you think about big clubs.Well, this time around, smaller club like us happen to be the one bullying big clubs.Statistically, we bullied Liverpool FC.

Prematch stats display both sides goalscorers.


Funny how it turned out that Baros scored 17 goals more than Fernando Torres.Not only that, even Keirrison scored 1 more than Peter Crouch who started almost every game. I only play Keirrison on rotation with Cristaldo replacing him in some of the games.

Anyway, my point is, you don't need to have players like Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo or Kaka with awesome stats to win games.What you need is a player who suits the style of playing of your team and can gel well with your squad.

Stats are nothing but decoration.

Of course, too lousy stats won't work either.What I'm trying to say here is pick one player with decent stats is more than enough if he can gel well with the rest of the squad.

Here's the difference of stats and attributes between Fernando Torres and Milan Baros.

Awesome stats of Fernando Torres but Baros who has a weaker stats scored more goals than him.


At the end of the day, what counts is how you get the best of your players. If you can do it, even the player " signed on last resort" can be a star.

I knew from some of the performances I've seen, that it's key attributes that are important for any player. If that player fits in perfectly with the formation and strategy they can perform extremely well. I've got a few players like that, who overall don't look to be good, but have performed very well, such as Balanta, Ephraim and Grenier.

That's interesting. I'm going to have to take a closer look at attributes v tactic/strategy.
Thanks for sharing!

FMFreakKid is definately got this spot on. However if Torres was used properly alongside all of the other Liverpool players then it most likely would have been a different game.

Have never use Balenta and Ephraim before but my scouts did describe them as decent player.Might look into it when I need cheap bargains.Thanks ziggy ;)
