All stats can be trained except for versatility, morale, fitness, and stamina. Morale and fitness have to do with staff and stamina is to just let your players rest, but this comes to my question:

Versatility: Does it have any significance in the game or is it just a useless stat with the advent of being able to switch player positions in advanced formations?

Also does height, weight, and foot have any importance or is that purely just for aesthetics? For example, the taller the player is, would he be better at claiming headers for instance, or does a player's preferred foot affect his passing ie. right foot means he passes to the left more often and both means he will pass either way?

(By the way, do 14 year old juniors grow up and gain more weight or do they stay like that for their whole SM career? )

Versatility is for when your player plays out of position, if his versatility is high his stats wont drop as much.

Height and weight are just for aesthetics

As for foot i have not seen any evidence to suggest that right footed players pass right or left more, they usually just pass to the nearest open player

I understand what versatility does, but does it have any competitive use? The only legitimate reasoning to have high versatility would be if a player was to get injured during a game and the sub has to play out of position. Other than that it offers no use in my opinion. Nowadays you do not even have to play a player out of position as you could just accommodate his position in advanced formations.

Haha, okay. I was getting a bit paranoid, but I'll be happy with my underweight midgets. The only reason I came to that conclusion about the foot preference was that my OM tends to pass to only one of my two forwards but it may be just due to the opposing formation being lopsided on defense.

Just interested if any other manager has differing opinions.

say you have 3 defs on your seniors and 2 get injured, you must play 2 defs to have a valid formation and a DFM with high versatility would work better than one with low versatility. It is a rare problem to have and i wouldnt look at a players versatility stat when deciding to buy but thats just what it's there for 19/07/2013 20:54

But you could always panic buy for a defender.

I see what you're saying though. I guess it does have some use, but not something of great importance. Thanks @bowsey.
