Saliba's composure should be higher

Another monsterclass from Saliba today. 13 composure is just way off

I just want to add a few more sources to back up my opinion.

Mikel Arteta, the one who might know Saliba's qualities best, said:

"I think the way he has established himself, the composure and leadership that he's shown on the pitch – it's done in a very natural way without any flashlights, just being himself. Being very quiet but, at the same time, very confident."

The Athletic's Arsenal correspondants:

"His composure and his coolness at the back of the team is blowing my mind."

Thanks, I believe I already addressed this in the main thread and gave a response there outlining my position, but I will just reply again.  Saliba is 21 so these comments must be taken in the context of them talking about a 21 year old.  Before this season he had no Premier League experience, I had inherited him from the France research team so it was not my place to make major changes and at the time I did my main review of the squad it was only a few games into the season.  He had recently scored a clumsy own goal and did not look as assured as he does now.  My deadline has long since passed.  The head researcher deadline for making changes also passed a while back so there will be no further changes to attributes until the next research update early next year.  If I was rating him right now, yes I would probably increase his composure by 1 or possibly 2 points.  But again, I must reiterate, he is 21 and this attribute WILL develop in game, especially with first team exposure and specific training.  So if you start a game, he could well have progressed to 14 or 15 composure by this point in the season and should progress well beyond that in future if used in the right way in game.

Also I will reiterate I take all feedback into account and will be doing a full review of the squad for the winter update.  If Saliba continues to put in excellent, composed performances, his attribute will be raised accordingly.
