its not a couple of games though :S right from his debut back in february he's been quality, its clear for all to see... he must have been amazing at benfica for chelsea to sign him anyway.

im not too fussed about his attributes, but 3 star potential doesnt do him justice
 
SI have the best scouting knowledge in the world. I'm sure they have researched and scouted him thoroughly and based it on that.

He may have performed well in a couple of appearances, that doesn't make him the best CB in the world, yet.
 
but it hasn't been opinion/view of the media every single person out there can see he is awesome.. but i can see why they havent updated him.. its only been 3 games or so :)

SI have said time and time again that stats won't be improved on such a short term basis. It's usually over a 12 month period or so.

Quite a few people bitched about Zamora's finishing this time last year. They have been making this game since the early 90's, they know what they are doing :)
 
I still don't see the problem. Just because he does a spectacular overhead kick in a game doesn't instantaneously grant him high technique and flair. SI base the attributes over a number of years, and general performances in these areas.

Roberto Carlos, contrary to opinion, was/is not one of the world's best dead-ball specialists. Yes, he scored some amazing free-kicks, but it doesn't make him have 20 Free Kicks because of them. Eight times out of ten, they would go astray or hit the wall.

Three stars is fine. He will get better with the correct training and continuous first-team action.
 
'he must have been amazing at benfica for chelsea to sign him anyway.' and that is why I said your argument is weak, you don't even know. A player won't earn an increase for just over a month of good performances. If his flair should go up for one kick of the ball then surely his tackling or decisions should go down for that penalty he gave away?
 
fair play :)

but his potential should be higher at least

what do you mean i dont even know? i watched him at benfica, he was quality, he was good for brazil too :S
 
SI base attribute increases on 1-2 seasons of form. Attributes are not increased after a handful of appearances. He seems like a very good ball playing defender to me, you seem to want some sort of superplayer who can do everthing.

This time last year everyone was demanding that Rooney's heading attribute should be higher than 10. Now the only person with a head shaped more like a 50 pence piece in the league is Nani.

Case closed.
