INFO:
Saelan was a goalkeeper. His career started in the 1940s at MOS Makassar. He transferred to Jakarta Raya in 1948, spending the rest of his career until his retirement in 1962. An Indonesia international from 1951 to 1958 and captain from 1951 to 1956, he capped for his national team more than 20 times, taking part to the 1954 and 1958 Asian Games as well as the 1956 Olympics.
Deployed in several different positions in his youth, from defender to striker, he eventually became a goalkeeper, irreplaceable in the Indonesian team for nearly a decade. In fact, he was considered one of the best Asian goalkeepers of the 1950s and he's arguably the greatest goalkeeper in Indonesia's football history. Saelan had a short physique which was though always in good condition. In terms of abilities, he was good at blocking shots, jumping and diving to his sides or at his opponent's feet. Despite his lack of height, he showed his best quality when catching high balls thanks to a solid positional sense and tendency to come off his goal whenever a cross was coming, and he would catch it most of the times. In addition, he always showed a fighting spirit that helped him in difficult situations. The best example is the match against the Soviet Union at the 1956 Olympics that ended 0-0 where Saelan had an extraordinary performance, struggling but still resisting all the attacks coming from the far superior Soviet players. Unfortunately, a tired Indonesian team couldn't repeat the feat and lost 4-0 in the replay two days later.

Isn't AGI a bit too low for a player of his size?

I thought about it but I wasn't sure. You may be right though. How much would you give?
