INFO:
Bodinho was a right-inside or centre forward, capable of playing as right-winger. His career began in 1943 at Íbis. The following year, he played for Sampaio Corrêa. He then had a very good spell with Flamengo from 1945 to 1949, scoring 112 goals in 160 appearances. After a good two-year experience with Nacional of Porto Alegre, he had his most successful time with Internacional, playing 312 matches from 1951 to 1958 and scoring 244 goals. He capped for Brazil 5 times in 1955, scoring 3 goals.
Considered one of the most important players in Internacional's history, Bodinho was known for his great opportunism and incredibly accurate headers despite his short height. Furthermore, he terrified the goalkeepers with his ability to get the ball back-to-goal, defend it from the opposing defender, make a quick turn and shoot. He was so obsessed with targeting the goal that scoring seemed to be his only purpose. Even though he originally was a right-inside, he gave his best in a more central position as he could receive better balls and take advantage of his abilities.

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.

Bodinho played as SS, as he played together with Larry, who was the CF, he was bodinho's partner and in the lineups, bodinho is always as a second striker (SS)
