  1. I think Jakub Kiwior's (Arsenal) pace should be higher.

    A quote from the Athletic: "...scouts who have watched him play believe he could be among the quickest players at Arsenal."

    Several sources claim: "Kiwior has set new records for the fastest short sprint, highest agility jump as well as standing spring record."

    At the moment his acceleration is 12 and pace is 13. I suggest his pace should be at least 15.

    Arsenal's Saliba's composure is 13 in the game,which I think is not high enough. One of his main strengths is how he can keep his cool with the ball at his feet and he remains calm even if he is pressured by multiple opponents at the same time. 

    Multiple sources, such as the Athletic and Skysports, highlight that his composure is one of his skills that makes him so good. If you rewatch Arsenal's matches or search twitter you can find multiple examples when he was extremely calm in dangerous situations.

    Recommendation:

    Increase Saliba's composure to 16.

    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."

    Hello, there won't be any more attribute adjustments as the database is locked now for such changes until the winter update.  That said, I don't agree.  Saliba is 21 and is still developing.  While he may play in a generally composed manner, especially for a player his age, he has scored avoidable own goals and given the ball away under pressure at points this season.  A rating of 13, with his PA as it is, gives him room to develop, as he quite obviously to me, is still doing.  He is not a complete defender yet despite his strong start to this season.  16 is too high for composure at this stage.  I could have perhaps set it at 14, but as I've said before we're not really after marginal attribute quibbles, though I do appreciate this is a discussion thread and you have backed up your opinion with links to analysis.

    Hello, I did not consider his PA, so 16 might really be too high, I must agree. But I still think that his composure is definitely well above average even at Premier League level, it is one of his most talked trait - and a lot of football analyst/writer share this opinion - that is why I think 13 is too low. As you have said, generally he is composed, and I think the mistakes he makes could rather be influenced by other attributes in the game, such as consistency and concetration, as these can improve as he gets older. Even the best defenders, like Van Dijk, make sometimes mistakes from time to time when out of form or have a bad day. 

    I respect your opinion, composure is not something that can be measured easily, but I hope that you will consider improving his composure attribute in future updates.
