Isn't the ManCity set a bit overrated? With these stats he would be one of the best AMF ever and he clearly isn't that good..
For example TMW: Kroos, Busquets and Xabi Alonso (2007-2009 set) all have 88 there and all of them are better than Silva. 87 is IMO the maximum for him, also I'd like to hear a reason why MEN and espcecially SPA/SPS are that high..

His MENT is high because he always tries to grow up her teammates, in Spanish NT he always do it, for example... Not one of the best, but better than other "super stars" players who doesn't do that, I could search some match which could serve us as example...

About his Short passes, I compared him with Iniesta (I think the difference isn't that high between these two players), maybe overrated SPA but I'm still thinking David Silva is one of the best AMF in that aspect since Zidane... Maybe 88 like Özil?

About his SPS, I don't see him far from our Özil's skills in that aspect... One or two points

I put here a compilation video of passes, and give me your opinion

besides...SMF shouln't be as Primary Position in Valencia Set?

He always played as AMF, although he played always for the sides, he played as AMF much more than SMF (in that position but with function of AMF)

Little updated in first set:
SPA: 90-88
SPS: 84-83

These values were good At City, he could claim easily orange values at the same level of Iniesta (But Iniesta needs to be higher in that, if you want him to be above Silva)

He is just as good as Iniesta in everything (maybe just a little bit less skills overall, yet faster, but you get the point)..



Then his MENT should be splitted in "Club and NT" i don't see him with coloured value in MENT (at least club-wise, i need to check his NT games and focus on him, and it's going to be hard because of Spain's style of game )

And TEC worth +92 in both sets (For me, he can get red in TEC for City era since the pace is faster in the Barclays than in La Liga and he still manage to control the ball so cleanly)

Updated 2011-2014's set:
SPA: 88-89
SPS: 83-84
TEC: 92-94


MENT: Separate in both sets with NT and Club values in both sets


About youngest set, I see him pretty good with those stats, and right now I can't see him with orange value in SPA

Previous sets

TEC 94? 92 was perfect, same as for Falcao & Van Persie. He isn't better than those two there..

Re-updated

I compared him with Xavi's older set, but yes, now you told those players I'ts more accuracy
