Mark Timlin of Derry City another great player I got on a free during the 2017/2018 summer. Absolutely bossed it for me when I signed him on a free in the 2017/2018 summer.

The more technically astute your front man is, the more comfortable he will undoubtedly be with the ball at his feet. The ‘Off The Ball’ attribute is associated with a player’s movement which can be vital for a striker that is looking to drag defenders away and create space for themselves and others around them.Ī striker with decent technique is always a good thing. This is clearly vital when your striker is through on goal with a chance of scoring as a high composure attribute will see them keep their head rather than buckling under the pressure.Ī player’s ability to find space and move off the ball can be just as important as their decisions with the ball at their feet.
