That may be true (which probably keeps his overall rating lower). I guess they can't get everything perfect.
I'm playing Livingston and there's a good youth player in the team. M.Scott, a CM. Only 19 and skill of 57 but believe me he's a brilliant tackler, has very good pace for his skill rating and can cross well too. This player is very individualistic and his body movements are different from the others! Got white boots too!
if you need a really good midfielder go to Real Madrid and pick up this kid called Gregory Raynier...He'll develop into a 4.5 star player Another good youngster is for Arsenal and his name is K. Hellings...a Center Forward who will also develop into a 4.5 star player
