All players have the same number of units for all SQ's, so the more that are high, the more that are low.
Basically we are saying the same thing.

That you need to exploit your players known Sq's to the max??

We could do with some input from TBC

You are missing the other side of the coin. While he is good at what you see, he will not be so good at what you can not see.

As an aside, isn't it weird that there is no tackle SQ?

Tough is as close as you get :roll:

So that is good because you know a players strengths and weaknesses.
And play them accordingly.

Yes to weaknesses, or do not buy them etc.

This is because we‟ve given each player has a base-strength which is a hidden trait. This is something that can explain why there are several unexpected results in the games.” What it means? Contraduck added his interpretation: “The hidden strength thing just means that there's a baseline amount of skill that all players have no matter how many skill bars you see. Think of it as meaning that each player has a few extra skill bars than what you can see in the game. This value is the same for every player. Say, for example, that base level of skill is 4 bars worth. Now that means a player with 5 visible skill bars is actually a 9 internally, and a player with 10 visible bars is actually a 14 internally. While it may seem that the 10 bar player should be twice as good as the 5 bar, the actual skill difference isn't quite that large.” Problem is that no player has figured out a way to estimate the „hidden skill value‟ so far. Anyway, it means that the skill is not as hard a value as you might think. It‟s an indication. Useful, but only as a „soft‟ value.

Spirey was saying that the hidden skill is the same for every player. Think the highlighted line backs him up.

For some reason I took this to be different for each player, and this would make more sense. This does not explain "results" but a smaller differential. I have some players who consistently play substantially above their skill and form, and saw this as an explanation...

I will go back to the pdf, when I get some time.......
