PPM: 'uses both feet' (for set pieces, etc.)

Truly two-footed players are uncommon. However, you may have seen the young Mason Greenwood using both feet to take free kicks and penalties. Impressive! In FM2019, his stats are 'left foot: 20' and 'right foot: 18.' However, in the game, even a player with 20/20 left/right foot will never alternate which side they use for set pieces. A player with 20/20 left/right will always act as though they are right-footed, by default.

A PPM that makes them alternate between left and right depending on the circumstance (perhaps mediated by their 'decision' stat) would be very cool. Particularly if Greenwood fulfills his promise and we see this skill on our TVs more regularly. But also, academy players are so well trained these days, this kind of skill may be becoming more common. The highly skilled playmaker whose other peg is only good for standing on has itself become somewhat unusual. By contrast the two-footed wide forward who can drive towards the goal or to the byline with equal comfort has become pretty much standard for most top level teams.
