I think RES could be also on 83-84, I like very much this player.. also MEN seems to me a little bit harsh..

RES go up to 83

What do you suggest for his MENT? I don't know how to rate him in this aspect, he always encourages his team mates but sometimes he seems Balotelli in some aspects of his Ment

Thats why I didn't put a high value there, but for me he doesn't deserve a low value, It's difficult to rate him

I suggest a value in yellow.. yes it's a bit difficult, also because of his "fights" with S.Ramos and Pepe, and all Madrid Maybe 81-82 for the moment..

Updated

I think balance could be around 88, he is really a bull.

I think, Atlético had luck when Falcao go to Monaco, if not Diego Costa couldn't develope in this level

Falcao is a great centre-forward and he is better than Diego Costa IMHO but the spanish/brazilian is better for Simeone's tactics.

I meaned for Diego Costa, when Falcao went out to Monaco... Diego Costa took the reins of the team, and he developed too much to achieve this level.

I didn't tell anything against Falcao (for me after Ibrahimovic the best pure CF in the world right now, at least before Falcao's injury), I only told about what was better for Atlético de Madrid, as you told, Simeone's tactics go better with Diego Costa, and this guy is a beast.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2jsAKoWuRg just look at him, by the way, I'm working in Arda Turam set (I'll do it because he is great and if Atlético de Madrid win La Liga or UCL, we should make the team here)

This should be yellow. It always happens in your sets, and I always correct it, but I think you could finally put more attention there

I didn't put in yellow because in modern PES, that number still in white... but well, I'll put that value in yellow in the future
