What is your interpretation of the balance attribute?
I've seen it described as:
'How well a player is able to stay steady on his feet, both with the ball when running at and evading opponents, and without the ball when facing opponents running at him as well as when turning and jumping.'
To me, this seems a little too similar to the agility attribute, in terms of movement in small spaces, turning and evading opponents. When you look at the actual players in the game, the well balanced players tend to be able to withstand opponents well - Strong players such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic(20), Fernando Lorente(20) and Cristiano Ronaldo(19), sturdy yet shorter players such as Javier Zanetti(19) and Bastian Schweinsteiger(19), or slighter more agile players like Hatem Ben Arfa(20) and Ryan Giggs(18).
But I don't understand how it is decided. Why is Yaya Toure give a balance value of 18? Why is Messi only 16? How would you rate the balance of a Ronaldinho in his prime? Or Maradona?
I'd really appreciate some opinions on this subject, and as an exercise of interest, how would you rate the balance of the following players:
* Z. Ibrahimovic
* C. Ronaldo
* J. Zanetti
* Y. Toure
* L. Messi
* Ronaldinho
* D. Maradona
* W. Samuel
* B. Charlton
* S. Gerrard
* C. Makelele
