Thank you for the set. However, the stats you gave this player are way too high. They make him look like someone who could've played for a big European club.

Yeah, you're right, for the 90's-2000's football era, where good players from countries like Mexico for CONCACAF have players like Rafael Márquez, the Guatemala's football market had limited global visibility, because of that he was a big fish in a small pond, where his stats reflects regional dominance rather due to the lack global benchmarks, and his success came primarily by CONCACAF tournaments, and not being tested against elite European defenses of the time, so he has an incredible forward technique and intelligence for attacking, but lack in physical for the limited training methods in Guatemala, something that is taken in a sight a lot for the European teams, even today, but despite all of that, he's one of the best ever in Guatemala's centre-forwards in the history.

So, his skills in attack would decrease a little in the next things:

Error: He was LF/BS, not RF/BS.

Fixed:

Attack: 89->85
Top Speed: 82->79
Response: 90->85
Dribble Accuracy: 85->81
Shot Accuracy: 88->86
Shot Power: 83->81
Shot Technique: 89->85
Free Kick Accuracy: 70->74
Jump: 88->86
Technique: 87->83
Aggresion: 90->86
Team Work: 84->80

Updated.
