WB & DMF should be removed, I've never seen him playing on this positions during that era..
Also Extra-Attacker-Card should be removed, he isn't the player who usually attacks during matches (he comes forward for set-pieces, that's all)..
Regarding DEF: do you really considering him as good as Mertesacker/better than Ramos there? I use him with 85 there, probably 86 would also suit him

Well, thanks about the positions..

Regarding DEF, Benni is a very talented defender, he was defending very well in the WC, even surprise me a lot, he is a very underrated defender to me, he could play in any top club in Europe, Infact Mertesacker is one of the cleanest defenders in the world (possibly ever, he as far as i know, he has less than 5 yellow cards ) That's something amazing for a defender.
