INFO:
Ringstead was a dashing goal-scoring right winger who played most of his career at Sheffield United, scoring 109 goals in 271 matches from 1950 to 1959. He gained 20 caps for Ireland between 1951 to 1959, scoring 7 times. He retired in 1964.
Not very tall, Ringstead was a fast and direct player, good on the ball and able to run through the defences, using his pace to drive at goal. A tricky winger gifted with determination, he was excellent in individual battles with defenders due to which he was often impatient to challenge an opponent 1-on-1. He could dance through tackles, pushing forward to make a pass or a shot, running to pull opposing defenders out of position or to open a space for his teammates. In a match against England he scored after delivering a deep cross in the box and, while the entire defence was beat by the long ball, he shook off his marker to get inside the penalty area and shoot. He had a wickedly powerful kick either when shooting or crossing and was accurate with both feet. He could give his crosses a lovely curling effect that brought troubles to the opposing defenders. Moreover he had a rare and valuable skill for a winger: an impressively good heading ability which was even more effective thanks to a great sense of anticipation for being in the right place at the right time − his first ever goal was in fact a flying header and many of his goals were scored with the head.

Aren't those stats a bit overrated? By those infos given here I neither see a reason for ATT 85, RES 84 or STA 84.
Btw, about the last card:

I don’t really think many wingers need yellow RES tbh, the high AGG and Marauding card is enough for them to get into those scoring positions regularly, unless they were super prolific in the box like Hamrin for example they don’t need CF-level numbers for RES or ATT. Ringstead had a really good scoring rate but if you gave him like 79 RES and 80/81 ATT the rest of his stats would be enough to make him fairly prolific.

This might seem dismissive but I think a lot of WFs of the period have kind of inflated goal scoring records due to the lack of dedicated SBs at the time and also that a lot of GKs back then had trouble with shots from tight angles, a lot of the time they could just shoot hard enough straight at the goalkeeper and he would just palm it into his net.

Just like Ramallets against one of the Brazilian goals in 1950 (Jair's).

Ok, thanks to all. I decreased RES to 79 and both ATT and STA to 81. I also took out Diving Header.
