Positioning is a defensive attribute. Off The Ball is the stat for attackers' movement.

And the rule for inclusion of young players is - in Premier League terms at least - they have to be first-year scholars i.e. at least 16yo on 31.8.22, Lewis-Skelly and Nwaneri are too young for this year's game.

Thanks, so on that note, could Jesus then be improved at all? Watching on the match engine and it feels like he isn't aggressive enough when players like Nunez, Zapata & Vlahovic seem to be far more inclined to press on the same tactic I'm toying with. It's hard to explain, he just doesn't seem to "press" like the others I've listed.

Arsenal:

Players missing? Or are we not allowed with 15/16 year olds, even if terms are signed and they are big talking points in England Youth football setups?

Myles Lewis-Skelly <- started the season as an under 15's player, now passed birthday and is playing unders18's and under 21's and picking up man of the match awards

Ethan Nwaneri <- picked up under 21's MOM awards, played for the first team already too. 

Brooke-Norton Cuffy <- has under 19's England caps, game says "no youth caps" - is this because not under21's? ( I'm unsure, asking for clarification, cheers ) 

Would ask to be looking at Martinelli with his physical Stamina/Strength and comparison to Nunez please, lad runs for days on end and so far has pocketed every full back he has come against, alongside keeping players away from the ball. As a player already cemented in the first team and breaking into the national team I feel a  range of 13-14 on Strenght and Stamina in the 15-16 range would be logical and not a "hard" argument to take against him?

Saliba also does not appear to either be quick enough, or his acceleration stat isn't high enough? He has not been sprinted past all season and has regained position from all manner of challenges, alongside sweeping behind Gabriel all season so far. A +2 on acceleration would be fair, Pace/Top speed would be okay to not be touched if this was incorporated, he is rapid off the blocks.

Would also ask for a possible + 3 on Gabriel Jesus's positioning trait, he is within the heart of that sides attack right now and watching him in person, he doesn't move off the ball without purpose.

finally Xhaka, the player everyone loves to hate, I would say the finishing trait coupled with positioning, both of which seems a little low. He has shown this past 18 months that he has knuckled down, removed odd-mistakes and is a steady 7 rating player every game for them for over a year, with some huge performances as outliers too. Potentially adding + 2 to finishing and Positioning being 13-14 would be fair to a player playing quite possibly his best football of his career right now

of course most of these are opinions and subjective, however I feel a strong case for amendment with all?

Thanks for the hard work gone into this release, feels polished, smooth so far and addictive as ever. 

Cheers!
