agree but can be useful in those handful cases and its not really difficult to do that, its really 4 numbers next to every player
The intent is very good but this new rule is not without consequences:
- discussions regarding the career peak of the player: agree or not about the 4 numbers
- managers who possess versatile players would be urged to stick to the specific positioning related to these 4 numbers
To illustrate my point, let's take the example of a player like Roberto Carlos.
He played in many tactical systems (4 or 5 defenders). So instead of discussing his qualities as an outside midfielder (3-5-2) or a left-back (4-4-2), we will have the following remarks "Oh! you use him in a 4-4-2 system and you say his career peak was between 1996-99. I am not happy because his career peak was in 2002: as luck would have it, he played in a 3-5-2 system with Brazil during the WC 2002."
There is a difference between saying " I know he is bad in your tactical system for x reasons given the quality of my team" and saying " I fully disagree with the career peak you mentioned so your player is bad because he used to play in another position at his real career peak".
Not to mention the facts some players have 2 peaks and the fact that a career peak is not necessarily inferior to a period of 3 years.
My opinion is that the 2 opposing managers have to do research about the players and explains their views on the basis of facts, figures with dates.
There are pros and cons.
