INFO:
Nílton Coelho da Costa was a Brazilian centre forward and sometimes right winger or right side midfielder. A great opportunist, he received the nickname "Bodinho" due to his incredibly accurate headings, in addition to his powerful shots which terrified the goalkeepers. He joined Internacional in 1952 and he still is one of the best ever footballers who played in the team. He scored 244 goals in 312 games for Internacional winning four times the Campeonato Citadino de Porto Alegre just as many times the Campeonato Gaúcho. He also played 5 times for the Brazilian national team in 1956, scoring 3 goals.

SMF position added and stats updated.

Don't think he needs SMF. SMF should only be given to players from that era that actually acted like SMFs (less attack-minded than wingers, more defensive contribution, deeper position), like Zagallo for example. I can't imagine that Bodinho suddely showed those characteristics when he was deployed as winger.

I totally agree with that. However his positions were centroavante, ponteiro-direito and meia-direita.
Is it possible that this last one was actually right-inside forward? If that's the case, I may replace SMF with AMF and SS.

Yes, meia is pretty much the players who were mainly AMF/SS.

Okay, thanks. I added SS and AMF positions and slightly boosted SPA and FKA. I didn't read anything about passing and free kick abilities − which isn't strange since he was mostly a centre forward scorer − but if he could play as attacking midfielder, I believe he should be at least decent in those values.
